أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْعِجْلِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«إِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ كَمْ صَلَّى ثَلَاثًا أَوْ أَرْبَعًا فَلْيَقُمْ فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَةً يُتِمُّ رُكُوعَهَا وَسُجُودَهَا ثُمَّ يَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ صَلَّى خَمْسًا شَفَعَ بِالسَّجْدَتَيْنِ وَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ صَلَّى أَرْبَعًا كَانَتِ السَّجْدَتَانِ تَرْغِيمًا لِلشَّيْطَانِ»

✧ When one of you doubts and does not know how many he prayed, three or four, let him stand and pray one rak'ah, completing its bowing and prostration, then prostrate two prostrations while he is sitting. If he had prayed five, the two prostrations make it even; and if he had prayed four, the two prostrations are a humiliation for Satan.

- Qurṭubī
حديث أبي سعيد أرسله مالك عن عطاء وأسنده غيره فكان هذا اضطرابا فيه والتسليم عن ذلك أرجح
machine translationThe hadith of Abū Saʿīd: Mālik transmitted it as a mursal report from ʿAṭāʾ, while others transmitted it with a connected chain (musnad). This is therefore an inconsistency (iḍṭirāb) in it, and yielding to that is more preferable.
