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

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَجُلٌ قَرَأَ فِي اَلْغَدَاةِ سُورَةَ« قُلْ هُوَ اَللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ» قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ وَ مَنِ اِفْتَتَحَ بِسُورَةٍ ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِي سُورَةٍ غَيْرِهَا فَلاَ بَأْسَ إِلاَّ« قُلْ هُوَ اَللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ» فَلاَ يَرْجِعُ مِنْهَا إِلَى غَيْرِهَا وَ كَذَلِكَ« قُلْ يٰا أَيُّهَا اَلْكٰافِرُونَ»
Ahmad bin Muhammad bin ‘Isa, from Ibn Maskan, from al-Halabi, who said: I said to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “A man recites ‘Surah Al-Ikhlas’ in the Fajr prayer.” Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no problem. And whoever begins with a surah and then decides to switch to another surah, there is no problem, except for ‘Surah Al-Ikhlas’, from which he may not switch to another, and likewise ‘Surah Al-Kafirun’."
