AL-KAFI #905: LUPA BERULANG KALI DALAM SOLAT
What causes require sujud sahwi (prostration of forgetfulness), and must it be repeated if one forgets several times in a single prayer?
Short answer
Sujud sahwi is required when a person omits an ab'adh sunnah such as the first tashahhud or qunut, doubts the number of rak'ahs, unintentionally does an act that would invalidate the prayer if done deliberately, or moves a prayer act to the wrong place.

Summary
Sujud sahwi is required when a person omits an ab'adh sunnah such as the first tashahhud or qunut, doubts the number of rak'ahs, unintentionally does an act that would invalidate the prayer if done deliberately, or moves a prayer act to the wrong place. It is performed at the end of the prayer before the salam. If one forgets repeatedly in the same prayer, a single sujud sahwi of two prostrations at the end is sufficient. If the salam is given before the prostration, either deliberately or through forgetting for a fairly long time, the prostration lapses, but if one forgets only briefly, one may prostrate and give the salam again.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jawapannya ialah tidak perlu. Imam al-Rafi'e Rahimahullah berkata: "Jika lupa berulang kali dalam solat, maka memadai dengan sujud sahwi (dua kali sujud) di akhir solat."
