Chapter on Rulings on Forgetfulness (Sahw) in Prayer and What Requires Repeating of Prayer

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ رَجُلٍ صَلَّى صَلاَةَ اَللَّيْلِ وَ أَوْتَرَ وَ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ نَسِيَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ قَالَ« يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ اَلَّتِي نَسِيَ مَكَانَهُ ثُمَّ يُوتِرُ»
Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Yahya, from Muhammad bin al-Husayn, from Muhammad bin Abdillah bin Hilal, from ‘Uqbah bin Khalid: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said regarding a man who prayed the Night Prayer and performed the ‘Witr’, then remembered that he had forgotten two rak‘ahs from his prayer, what should he do? Imam عليه السلام said: "He should stand and pray the two rak‘ahs that he forgot at that place, then perform the ‘Witr’ again."
