رَجُلٍ صَلَّى فَلَمْ يَدْرِ أَ ثِنْتَيْنِ صَلَّى أَمْ ثَلَاثاً أَمْ أَرْبَعاً قَالَ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ قِيَامٍ وَ يُسَلِّمُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ جُلُوسٍ وَ يُسَلِّمُ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ كَانَتِ الرَّكْعَتَانِ نَافِلَةً وَ إِلَّا تَمَّتِ الْأَرْبَعُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from one of his companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding a man who prays but he does not know whether he has prayed two or three or four. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He should stand and pray two <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span> from a standing, then offer <span class="iTxt">Salām</span>, then he should pray two <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span> from sitting and she should offer <span class="iTxt">Salām</span>. So if it was so that (he had prayed) four <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span>, the two <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span> would be (counted as) optional, or else the four would be complete’.
