Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I was sitting with Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) when he said: O Ibn Abbas! Have you heard anything from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) concerning a man who forgets in his prayer and does not know whether he has added something to the prayer or left something out: what did he command regarding it? I said: O Commander of the Believers! Have you not heard anything about this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) yourself? He said: No! By Allah, I have not heard anything from him (peace and blessings be upon him) about it, nor did I ask him (peace and blessings be upon him) about it. Suddenly Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived and said: What matter are you engaged in? So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) told him: I asked this young man about such-and-such a matter, but I did not find any knowledge of it with him. Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said: But I have knowledge of it; I heard it from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You are, in our view, a just and approved person, so what did you hear from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "When one of you has a doubt in his prayer, if he doubts between one and two rak'ahs, let him count it as one; when he doubts between two and three, let him consider them two; and if he doubts between three and four (rak'ahs), let him make them three, so that the doubt is on the side of excess. Let him perform two prostrations before the salam and then give the salam."
