Musnad Ahmad 11478

Translation

✧ He asked Abu Said al-Khudri: “One of us prays and does not know how many units he has prayed.” He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “If one of you prays and does not know how many units he has prayed, let him prostrate twice while sitting. And if Satan comes to one of you and says, ‘You have broken your ablution during your prayer,’ let him say, ‘You have lied,’ unless he smells an odor with his nose or hears a sound with his ear.”
