حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُّ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَائِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا شَکَّ أَحَدُکُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيُلْقِ الشَّکَّ وَلْيَبْنِ عَلَی الْيَقِينِ فَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَنَ التَّمَامَ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ فَإِنْ کَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ تَامَّةً کَانَتْ الرَّکْعَةُ نَافِلَةً وَالسَّجْدَتَانِ وَإِنْ کَانَتْ نَاقِصَةً کَانَتْ الرَّکْعَةُ تَمَامًا لِصَلَاتِهِ وَکَانَتْ السَّجْدَتَانِ مُرْغِمَتَيْ الشَّيْطَانِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد رَوَاهُ هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنْ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَطَائِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَحَدِيثُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ أَشْبَعُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1024
Ata bin Yasar said that Abu Saeed Al-Khudri reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: when one of you is in doubt about his prayer (i. e, how much he has prayed), he should throw away his doubt and base his prayer on what he is sure of. When he is sure about the completion of his prayer, he should make two prostrations (at the end of the prayer). If the prayer is complete, the additional rak’ah and the two prostrations will be supererogatory prayer. If the prayer is incomplete, the additional rak’ahs will compensate it, and the two prostrations will be a disgrace for the devil.
