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

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ بُرَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنَ اَلْمَكْتُوبَةِ فَسَلَّمَ وَ هُوَ يَرَى أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَتَمَّ اَلصَّلاَةَ وَ تَكَلَّمَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُصَلِّ غَيْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ «يُتِمُّ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ وَ لاَ شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ»
Al-Husayn bin Sa‘id, from Fadalah, from al-Qasim bin Burayd, from Muhammad bin Muslim: Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, (said) regarding a man who prayed two rak‘ahs of an obligatory prayer (‘al-maktubah’), then gave the ‘taslim’ thinking that he had completed the prayer and spoke, then remembered that he had only prayed two rak‘ah. Imam عليه السلام said: "He should complete what remains of his prayer, and there is nothing upon him."
