Hadith.1013 - Ubayd ibn Zurarah asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq about a man who prays the Fajr prayer, offering one rak'ah, then makes the tashahhud (testification), turns away (ends the prayer), and leaves. After some time, he remembers that he only prayed one rak'ah. He asked what should he do.
Imam
replied: "He should add another rak'ah to it”.
