Commentary
From Hadîth No. 1246 through to Hadîth No. 1252, the narrations are brief. In order to rightly understand them, one should resort to the preceding detailed narrations. That means, if one encounters doubt, one should complete one's prayer only after having striven to know the right thing, or after having fully relied upon one's reason. Then, after the final greeting, he should perform two prostrations of forgetfulness, and then close the prayer with final Salâm. In the case of surplus, performance of merely two prostrations will be sufficient.
