The answer

Whoever doubts having performed the prayer, the basic principle is that he has not performed it, and he is obligated to make it up. However, if he is afflicted with obsessive whispers (waswas), he is not required to make it up if he predominantly believes he prayed, then doubts. Rather, he should ignore those whispers.
