قُلْتُ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ يُصَلِّي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْوَتْرِ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَنْسَى التَّشَهُّدَ حَتَّى يَرْكَعَ وَ يَذْكُرُ وَ هُوَ رَاكِعٌ قَالَ يَجْلِسُ مِنْ رُكُوعِهِ فَيَتَشَهَّدُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُتِمُّ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَ لَيْسَ قُلْتَ فِي الْفَرِيضَةِ إِذَا ذَكَرَهُ بَعْدَ مَا رَكَعَ مَضَى ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ بَعْدَ مَا يَنْصَرِفُ وَ يَتَشَهَّدُ فِيهِمَا قَالَ لَيْسَ النَّافِلَةُ مِثْلَ الْفَرِيضَةِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al-Mugheira, from Ibn Muskan, from Al-Hassan Al-Sayqal, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The man prays the two <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span> of Al-<span class="iTxt">Witr</span>, then he stands, but he forgets the <span class="iTxt">Tashahhud</span> until he has performed <span class="iTxt">Rukū</span> (in the third <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span>), and he remembers while he is going down in the <span class="iTxt">Rukū</span>’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He should be seated from his <span class="iTxt">Rukū</span>, and he should perform <span class="iTxt">Tashahhud</span>, then she should stand and complete (the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>)’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘Did you<sup>asws</sup> not say regarding the obligatory (Salāt), when he remembers it after having performed the <span class="iTxt">Rukū</span>, he should continue, then perform <span class="iTxt">Sajdah</span> with two Sajdahs (of omission – <span class="iTxt">Sajda-e-Sahw</span>) after having finished, and he should perform <span class="iTxt">Tashahhud</span> in these two?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The optional (Salāt) is not like the Obligatory (Salāt)’.
