Does the prayer of a follower who did not notice the Imam's forgetfulness and did not perform the prostration of forgetfulness with him become invalidated?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Your prayer was not invalidated by your omission of the prostration of forgetfulness (sujud al-ba'di) that was incumbent upon the Imam. You should have prostrated with him when he did. It is sunnah for you to perform this prostration even if a long time has passed.
