The answer

Satanic whisperings (waswas) have a detrimental effect on a servant in both their religious and worldly affairs. The best cure for them is to ignore them and pay them no heed. So, if Satan whispers to you that your ablution is invalid, or that something, like urine, exited you, or that you missed a takbir or an obligation in prayer, then do not pay attention to that. Proceed with your worship, perform ablution normally once, and do not repeat ablution unless you have absolute certainty that it has been invalidated. As for the prayers you missed, they are a debt upon you that must be made up, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The debt owed to Allah is more deserving of being fulfilled."
