Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
If one doubts the correctness of their recitation after completing it, they should not pay attention to that doubt. Similarly, if they doubt the recitation after bowing or entering into the supplication, they should not worry about it. However, if the doubt occurs before that, they must recite it.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
If one doubts the correctness of a verse after entering another verse, they should not pay attention to that doubt. The same applies if they doubt the correctness of a phrase after entering another phrase; for example, if they doubt the correctness of "You alone we worship" while saying "And You alone we ask for help," they should not worry about that doubt. However, there is no issue in repeating what they doubted for precaution.
