Chapter on Rulings on Forgetfulness (Sahw) in Prayer and What Requires Repeating of Prayer
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ اَلْعَيَّاشِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي حَمْدَوَيْهِ بْنُ نُصَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ نُوحٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ مُسْكَانَ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ اَلصَّيْقَلِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ مِنَ اَلْوَتْرِ يَقُومُ فَيَنْسَى اَلتَّشَهُّدَ حَتَّى يَرْكَعَ فَيَذْكُرُ وَ هُوَ رَاكِعٌ قَالَ« يَجْلِسُ مِنْ رُكُوعِهِ فَيَتَشَهَّدُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُتِمُّ» قَالَ قُلْتُ أَ لَيْسَ قُلْتَ فِي اَلْفَرِيضَةِ إِذَا ذَكَرَ بَعْدَ مَا يَرْكَعُ مَضَى ثُمَّ يَسْجُدُ سَجْدَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ مَا يَنْصَرِفُ وَ يَتَشَهَّدُ فِيهِمَا فَقَالَ «لَيْسَ اَلنَّافِلَةُ مِثْلَ اَلْفَرِيضَةِ»
Muhammad bin Mas‘ud al-‘Ayyashi said: Hamdawayh bin Nusair narrated to me, who said: Ayyub bin Nuh narrated to us, from Abdillah bin al-Mughirah, who said: Ibn Maskan informed us, from al-Hasan al-Sayqal:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام (peace be upon him) said regarding a man who is praying the two rak‘ahs of ‘Witr’, and he stands up and forgets the ‘tashahhud’ until he performs ‘ruku’, and then remembers while he is in ‘ruku’. Imam عليه السلام said: "He should sit from his ‘ruku’, recite the ‘tashahhud’, then stand and complete (his prayer)." He (narrator) said: “I asked (Imam عليه السلام) ‘Did you not say concerning the obligatory prayer, that if one remembers after performing ‘ruku’, he should continue and then perform two prostrations (of forgetfulness) after completing the prayer, and recite the ‘tashahhud’ in them?’ Imam عليه السلام said: "The ‘nafilah’ (recommended prayer) is not like the ‘faridah’ (obligatory prayer)."
