Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ يَعْ
قُوبَ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَى عَنْ صِيَامِ يَوْمَيْنِ وَعَنْ صَلَاتَيْنِ وَعَنْ نِكَاحَيْنِ سَمِعْتُهُ يَنْهَى عَنْ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ وَبَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ وَعَنْ صِيَامِ يَوْمِ الْفِطْرِ وَالْأَضْحَى وَأَنْ يُجْمَعَ بَيْنَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَخَالَتِهَا وَبَيْنَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَعَمَّتِهَا

English Translation
Yazid narrated to us, Muhammad informed us; and Muhammad ibn 'Ubayd said: Muhammad ibn Ishaq narrated to us, from Ya'qub ibn 'Utbah, from Sulayman ibn Yasar, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (رضي الله عنه) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'If one of you doubts in his prayer and does not know whether he has prayed three or four, let him cast aside the doubt and build upon what he is certain of, then prostrate two prostrations before giving salam. If he has prayed five, the [prostrations] will make it even [as an intercession for his prayer], and if he has prayed four complete, they will be a humiliation for Shaytan.'
