Having many doubts regarding one's Salah

Q 4: What is your advice to a worshiper, who suffers frequent insinuations during Salah (Prayer)? A: We advise whoever undergoes doubts and insinuations in Salah to neglect such whispers and doubts and to seek refuge with Allah from the whispers cast by Satan to nullify the Muslim's Salah or minimize its reward. It has been reported in Sahih Muslim that `Uthman ibn Abu Al-`As (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah, the Devil confounds my prayer." He (peace be upon him) said: "That is a devil called Khanzab. When you feel his illusory acts, spit three times to the left and seek refuge with Allah from the devil three times." (Part No. 6; Page No. 49
