What is the ruling on obsessive doubt regarding the number of rak'ahs, and does hearing a sound that invalidates wudu necessitate repeating the prayer?

Leave off the obsessive doubts, and do not repeat the prayer or ablution, no matter how much Satan whispers to you about forgetting something or not perfecting it. Pray once without paying attention to the obsessive doubts, for your prayer is valid. And do not mind the obsessive doubts about something exiting, for the cure for obsessive doubts is to ignore them.
