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

مَا رَوَاهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:« إِذَا لَمْ تَدْرِ أَرْبَعاً صَلَّيْتَ أَمْ خَمْساً أَمْ نَقَصْتَ أَمْ زِدْتَ فَتَشَهَّدْ وَ سَلِّمْ وَ اُسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ بِغَيْرِ رُكُوعٍ وَ لاَ قِرَاءَةٍ تَتَشَهَّدُ فِيهِمَا تَشَهُّداً خَفِيفاً»
What was narrated by Sa‘d bin Abdillah, from Abu Ja‘far, from Muhammad bin Abi Umayr, from Hammad bin ‘Uthman, from ‘Ubaydallah bin Ali al-Halabi: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: "If you do not know whether you have prayed four rak‘ahs or five, or whether you have omitted or added something, then perform the tashahhud, give the salam, and perform two prostrations (‘sajdatayn’) without bowing (‘ruku’) or recitation, and in them recite a light tashahhud."
