English translation

1212. It was narrated that 'Abdullâh said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'If anyone of you is uncertain about his prayer, let him try to do what is correct then let him prostate twice.'" (Sahih) Tanâfisi said: "This is the basic rule, and no one is able to reject it."

Arabic text

1212 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، فَلْيَتَحَرَّ الصَّوَابَ، ثُمَّ يَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ» ، قَالَ الطَّنَافِسِيُّ: هَذَا الْأَصْلُ وَلَا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ يَرُدُّهُ

Commentary

What Tanâfisi means to say, is that in case of confusion, the prostration of forgetfulness being an enjoined duty, is a settled matter with no dissenting views on it. In matters of detail, however, there could be a divergence of opinion.
