The person afflicted with whisperings (waswas) should not pay attention to his recurring daily doubts, and he is not required to perform the prostration of forgetfulness (sujud al-sahw). If he repeats a letter or a pillar of the prayer, his prayer is not invalidated, and he is not required to perform the prostration of forgetfulness.
