What should a person afflicted with obsessive doubts do during prayer if they doubt their recitation of the Tashahhud, Fatiha, other supplications, or the transitional takbeers, or the correct pronunciation of any part of the prayer due to external influences or after completing the recitation?

The cure for intrusive thoughts (waswas) is to disregard them and pay them no mind. If you understand this, then ignore these thoughts no matter how often they occur to you, and do not give them any attention. Whenever Satan deludes you into thinking that you omitted a certain word or mispronounced a word, do not care about any of this. Continue your prayer, completely unconcerned by those intrusive thoughts.
