"عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: إِذَا شَكَّ أحَدُكُمْ في صَلاَتهِ فَليَتَوَخَّ حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ أنَّهُ قَدْ أتَمَّ، ثمَّ يَسْجُد سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ".

nasai:1238Yaḥyá b. Ḥabīb b. ʿArabī > Khālid > Ibn ʿAjlān > Zayd b. Aslam > ʿAṭāʾ b. Yasār > Abū Saʿīd

The Prophet ﷺ said: "If one of you is not sure about his prayer, let him forget about what he is unsure of and complete his prayer on the basis of what he is sure of. When he is sure that he has completed it, let him prostrate twice while he is sitting. Then if he has prayed five (rak'ahs), they (the two prostrations) will make his prayer even-numbered, and if he had prayed four, they will annoy and humiliate the shaitan."
