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

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« مَنْ نَسِيَ مَسْحَ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْسَحْ رَأْسَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي لِحْيَتِهِ بَلَلٌ فَلْيَأْخُذْ مِنْهُ وَ لْيَمْسَحْ رَأْسَهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي لِحْيَتِهِ بَلَلٌ فَلْيَنْصَرِفْ وَ لْيُعِدِ اَلْوُضُوءَ»
And from him, from Uthman, from Ibn Muskan, from Malik bin A’yan: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: "Whoever forgets to wipe his head, then remembers that he did not wipe his head, if there is moisture in his beard, then let him take from it and wipe his head. But if there is no moisture in his beard, then he should leave (his prayer) and repeat the ablution."
