2. It is a narration from him (narrator of previous Hadith) by Ahmad ibn al-Husayn from Fadalah from al-Husayn ibn abu al-‘Ala’ who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If one’s guess settles on his performing three or four Rak‘at, he says the phrase of offering greeting of peace, then performs two Rak‘at and four Sujud (prostrations) with al-Fatihah al-Kitab in a sitting position and says Tashahhud (testimonies of belief).”’
2ـ وَعَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلاَءِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
قَالَ إِنِ اسْتَوَى وَهْمُهُ فِي الثَّلاَثِ وَالأرْبَعِ سَلَّمَ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ يَقْصِدُ فِي التَّشَهُّدِ.
