Hadith #130
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ يَا غُلَامُ هَلْ سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ إِذَا شَكَّ الرَّجُلُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ مَاذَا يَصْنَعُ قَالَ فَبَيْنَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ ع
َبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ فَقَالَ فِيمَ أَنْتُمَا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ سَأَلْتُ هَذَا الْغُلَامَ هَلْ سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ إِذَا شَكَّ الرَّجُلُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ مَاذَا يَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ أَوَاحِدَةً صَلَّى أَمْ ثِنْتَيْنِ فَلْيَجْعَلْهَا وَاحِدَةً وَإِذَا لَمْ يَدْرِ ثِنْتَيْنِ صَلَّى أَمْ ثَلَاثًا فَلْيَجْعَلْهَا ثِنْتَيْنِ وَإِذَا لَمْ يَدْرِ أَثَلَاثًا صَلَّى أَمْ أَرْبَعًا فَلْيَجْعَلْهَا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يَسْجُدْ إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ

English Translation
Ibn 'Abbas narrated that 'Umar (رضي الله عنه) said to him: 'O boy, have you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or from any of his Companions something about what a person who has doubt in his prayer should do?' He said: I had not gone far when Abdur-Rahman ibn 'Awf came and said: I too was asked about this. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'When any of you has doubt in his prayer and does not know whether he has prayed one or two rak'ahs, let him count it as one. And if he does not know whether he has prayed two or three, let him count it as two. And if he does not know whether he has prayed three or four, let him count it as three. Then let him perform a prostration of forgetfulness (sajdatay al-sahw) before giving salam.'
