The questioner : May Allah reward you... Is he required to repeat it?
The Shaykh : If he is in a place where he is excused for his ignorance, he is not required to do so. This is why the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order this man to repeat what had passed. However, if he is negligent, he should be obligated to make up what he missed, provided that it does not cause hardship. What is it?
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Is the hadith to be understood in this sense?
The Shaykh : It is not possible, because there is an addition. If there is an addition, the addition is understood to be the more complete one.

The Shaykh : Ignorant, what?
