Question

If one is unsure whether they said 'Morid Hatal' or 'Morid Hageshem', and similarly if they are unsure whether they said 'Veten Bracha' or 'Veten Tal Umatar Lebracha' – what is their status?

Answer

He must repeat because he said it out of habit. After 30 days, if he has already said 'Veten Bracha' or 'Morid Hatal' 90 times, he does not need to repeat. Therefore, he can say 90 times "Mechaye Metim Ata Rav Lehoshia Morid Hatal Mekalkel Chaim Bechesed". Similarly, in 'Barech Aleinu', he can say 90 times for Sephardim "Rofeh Choleh Amo Yisrael Barech Aleinu", and for Ashkenazim "Et Kol Minei Tevuatah Letova Veten Bracha Al Pnei Ha'adama".
