Praying with Confidence

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (S) taught that if one does not know how much they prayed, they should perform two prostrations while sitting.

Iyad bin Hilal said: "I said to Abu Sa'eed: 'One of us performs Salat and we do not know how (much) we prayed'. So he said: 'Allah's Messenger (S) said: "When one of you performs Salat and he does now know how (much) he prayed then let him perform two prostrations while he is sitting".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتَوَائِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عِيَاضٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ هِلاَلٍ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي سَعِيدٍ أَحَدُنَا يُصَلِّي فَلاَ يَدْرِي كَيْفَ صَلَّى فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ كَيْفَ صَلَّى فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ وَابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَائِشَةَ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الْوَاحِدَةِ وَالثِّنْتَيْنِ فَلْيَجْعَلْهُمَا وَاحِدَةً وَإِذَا شَكَّ فِي الثِّنْتَيْنِ وَالثَّلاَثِ فَلْيَجْعَلْهُمَا ثِنْتَيْنِ وَيَسْجُدْ فِي ذَلِكَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَصْحَابِنَا ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ إِذَا شَكَّ فِي صَلاَتِهِ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ كَمْ صَلَّى فَلْيُعِدْ
