Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةً فَلَا أَدْرِي زَادَ أَمْ نَقَصَ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ه
َلْ حَدَثَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْءٌ قَالَ لَا وَمَا ذَاكَ قَالُوا صَلَّيْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فَثَنَى رِجْلَيْهِ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْ السَّهْوِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ أَنْسَى كَمَا تَنْسَوْنَ وَإِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيَتَحَرَّ الصَّلَاةَ فَإِذَا سَلَّمَ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Jarir, from Mansur, from Ibrahim, from 'Alqama — that 'Abdullah said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed a prayer — I do not know whether he added or subtracted [a rak'a]. When he gave the salam, it was said to him: O Messenger of Allah, has something happened in the prayer? He said: No — what is it? They said: You prayed so-and-so many [rak'ahs]. So he folded his legs and prostrated two prostrations of forgetfulness [sujud al-sahw]. When he gave the salam, he said: I am but a human — I forget as you forget. When one of you doubts in his prayer, let him seek what is correct [fataharra], and when he gives the salam, let him prostrate two prostrations.'
