Bayhaqi 3820 — The prostration of forgetfulness after the salam

أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا النُّفَيْلِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ خُصَيْفٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا كُنْتَ فِي صَلَاةٍ، فَشَكَكْتَ فِي ثَلَاثٍ أَوْ أَرْبَعٍ، وَأَكْثَرُ ظَنِّكَ عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ تَشَهَّدْتَ ثُمَّ سَجَدْتَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَأَنْتَ جَالِسٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُسَلِّمَ، ثُمَّ تَشَهَّدْتَ أَيْضًا ثُمَّ تُسَلِّمَ " قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَكَذَا رَوَاهُ عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، عَنْ خُصَيْفٍ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ وَوَافَقَ عَبْدَ الْوَاحِدِ أَيْضًا سُفْيَانُ وَشَرِيكٌ وَإِسْرَائِيلُ وَاخْتَلَفُوا فِي الْكَلَامِ فِي مَتْنِ الْحَدِيثِ وَلَمْ يُسْنِدُوهُ.
Abu Ubaydah bin Abdullah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you are praying and you are in doubt whether you have prayed three rak'ahs or four, and your stronger assumption is four, then sit for the tashahhud, then perform two prostrations while sitting before giving the salam, then recite the tashahhud again in the same way and give the salam."
Abu Dawud said: Abd al-Wahid narrated it likewise from Khusayf but did not attribute it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Sufyan, Sharik and Isra'il also agreed with Abd al-Wahid. They differed over the wording of the text of the hadith, and they did not narrate it with a chain reaching the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
