Musnad Ahmad 11082

Translation

✧ I said to Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī: "One of us prays and does not know how many rakʿahs he has prayed." He said: "The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'If one of you prays and does not know how many rakʿahs he has prayed, let him prostrate twice while he is sitting. And if the devil comes to one of you and says: "You have broken your wudu," let him say: "You have lied," unless he finds its smell in his nose or hears its sound with his ear.'"
