Does prayer become invalid by yawning accompanied by a two-letter sound unintentionally, and does unintentional speech invalidate it, and does the Hadith: "Raised from my Ummah are error, forgetfulness, and what they are coerced into" mean the lifting of sin only, with the obligation to make up the prayer?

If a worshipper yawns and two letters involuntarily emerge from him, his prayer is valid and there is nothing upon him. This is because the speech here is not attributed to him, similar to when letters emerge from his mouth without his choice during yawning, breathing, coughing, or crying.
