حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقَارِيُّ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ بِإِسْنَادِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا شَکَّ أَحَدُکُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَإِنْ اسْتَيْقَنَ أَنْ قَدْ صَلَّی ثَلَاثًا فَلْيَقُمْ فَلْيُتِمَّ رَکْعَةً بِسُجُودِهَا ثُمَّ يَجْلِسْ فَيَتَشَهَّدْ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلَّا أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ ثُمَّ لِيُسَلِّمْ ثُمَّ ذَکَرَ مَعْنَی مَالِکٍ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَکَذَلِکَ رَوَاهُ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ مَالِکٍ وَحَفْصِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ وَدَاوُدَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ وَهِشَامِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ إِلَّا أَنَّ هِشَامًا بَلَغَ بِهِ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1027
Zaid bin Aslam reported on the authority of the chain of Malik: The Prophet ﷺ said: If one of you is in doubt about his prayer, and if he is sure that he prayed three rak'ah, he should stand and complete one rak'ah along with its prostrations. Then he should sit and recite the tashahhud. When he finishes the prayer, and there remains nothing except salutation, he should make two prostrations while he is sitting and afterwards should give the salutation. The narrator then narrated the tradition similar to that of Malik. Abu Dawud said: Similarly, this tradition has been narrated by Ibn Wahb from Malik, Hafs bin Maisarah, Dawud bin Qais and Hisham bin Saad. But Hisham projected it to Abu Saeed al-Khudri.
