The ruling on repeating past prayers in the case of error

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to repeat his prayer, so how can it be that in the hadith regarding punishment, it is not permissible to pray if one made a mistake, yet it is permissible?

Answer:
He ordered him to repeat the current prayer, but he did not order him to repeat the past prayers. For example, with 'Ammar, he was not ordered to repeat the past prayers. We are speaking about past prayers. As for the current prayer whose time has not yet passed, it is to be repeated without doubt. If a person prays it in an invalid manner and its time is still valid, he repeats it.
