Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ حَدَّثَنَا خُصَيْفٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ إِذَا شَكَكْتَ فِي صَلَاتِكَ وَأَنْتَ جَالِسٌ فَلَمْ تَدْرِ ثَلَاثًا صَلَّيْتَ أَمْ أَرْبَعًا فَإِنْ كَانَ أَكْبَرُ ظَنِّكَ أَنَّكَ صَلَّيْتَ ثَلَاثًا فَقُمْ فَارْكَعْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلِّمْ ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَشَهَّدْ ثُمَّ سَلِّمْ وَإِنْ كَانَ أَكْبَرُ ظَنِّكَ أَنَّكَ صَلَّيْتَ أَرْبَعًا فَسَلِّمْ ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَشَهَّدْ ثُمَّ سَلِّمْ.
English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us the khutbah of necessity: 'Indeed, all praise is for Allah. We praise Him, seek His help, and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our souls and from the evil of our deeds. Whoever Allah guides, none can misguide, and whoever He leads astray, none can guide. I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.' Then he would recite three verses.
