مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ سَهَا فَلَمْ يَدْرِ سَجْدَةً سَجَدَ أَمِ اِثْنَتَيْنِ قَالَ« يَسْجُدُ أُخْرَى وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْدَ اِنْقِضَاءِ اَلصَّلاَةِ سَجْدَتَا اَلسَّهْوِ»
Muhammad ibn Ya’qub from Ali ibn Ibrahim from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabi, who said: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام was asked about a man who was forgetful and did not know whether he had performed one prostration or two. Imam عليه السلام said: "Let him perform another prostration, and after the completion of the prayer, there is no obligation upon him to perform the two prostrations of forgetfulness (sajdata al-sahw)."
