English translation

1240. It was narrated from Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī that the Prophet ﷺ said: "If one of you does not know whether he prayed three or four (Rak'ahs), let him pray a Rak'ah then prostrate twice after that when he is sitting. Then if he prayed five (Rak'ahs), they (the two prostrations) will make his prayer even-numbered, and if he had prayed four, they will annoy and humiliate the Shaitān." (Sahīh)

Arabic text

1239 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا لَمْ يَدْرِ أَحَدُكُمْ صَلَّى ثَلَاثًا أَمْ أَرْبَعًا، فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَةً، ثُمَّ يَسْجُدْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ، وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ، فَإِنْ كَانَ صَلَّى خَمْسًا شَفَعَتَا لَهُ صَلَاتَهُ، وَإِنْ صَلَّى أَرْبَعًا كَانَتَا تَرْغِيمًا لِلشَّيْطَانِ»
