“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘If anyone of you stands after two Rak’ah, if he has
not yet stood up fully, let him sit down again, but if he has stood
up
fully, then let him not sit down, and let him perform two
prostrations
for forgetfulness (Sahw).’”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 5, Hadith 406

narrated from ‘Abdur-Rahman Al-A’raj that Ibn Buhainah told
him
that the Prophet (ﷺ) stood up in the second Rak’ah of Zuhr and
forgot to sit. When he had finished his prayer, and before he said
the
Salam, he performed the two prostrations for forgetfulness (Sahw)
and
said the Salam.

“I heard the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘If anyone of you is uncertain as to
whether he has prayed one or two Rak’ah, let him assume it is one.
If
he is uncertain as to whether he has prayed two or three, let him
assume it is two. If he is uncertain as to whether he has prayed
three
or four, let him assume it is three. Then let him complete what
is
left of his prayer, so that the doubt will be about what is more.
Then
let him prostrate twice while he is sitting, before the Taslim
(saying
the Salam).’”
