أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ
«إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ ثَلَاثًا صَلَّى أَمْ أَرْبَعًا فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَةً وَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ السَّلَامِ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ ثَالِثَةً شَفَعَتْهَا السَّجْدَتَانِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ رَابِعَةً فَالسَّجْدَتَانِ تَرْغِيمٌ لِلشَّيْطَانِ»

✧ When one of you prays and does not know whether he prayed three or four (rak'ahs), let him pray one rak'ah and prostrate two prostrations before the salutation. If it was the third, the two prostrations make it even; and if it was the fourth, the two prostrations are a humiliation for Satan.
