Reciting the same Surah in the first two rakaats of a fardh Salaah

Q: I recently led the jamaat for zuhr salaah and for some reason I have doubts and cannot recall if I read the same surah in the 1st and 2nd rakaat (after surah faatiha). I don't know the two gentleman that read behind me. What should I do to rectify this? What if I cannot find them?

A: The namaaz is valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
