Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ خُصَيْفٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبْدِ الل
َّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا كُنْتَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَشَكَكْتَ فِي ثَلَاثٍ وَأَرْبَعٍ وَأَكْثَرُ ظَنِّكَ عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ تَشَهَّدْتَ ثُمَّ سَجَدْتَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَأَنْتَ جَالِسٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُسَلِّمَ ثُمَّ تَشَهَّدْتَ أَيْضًا ثُمَّ سَلَّمْتَ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Muhammad ibn Salama, from Khusayf, from Abi 'Ubayda, from his father — from the Prophet ﷺ — that he said: 'When you are in the prayer and doubt [whether you have prayed] three or four [rak'as], and your stronger opinion is four, then complete the tashahhud, then perform two prostrations while sitting before giving the salam, then perform the tashahhud again, then give the salam.'
