The answer

If a worshiper doubts a part of the prayer before the salām, he must return to complete what he doubted and what follows it, and no prostration of forgetfulness ( sahv) is required of him. As for doubt after finishing the prayer, it is not taken into consideration. And if a worshiper forgets the final —which is a pillar according to some scholars—and remembers it a short time after the salām, he must return, perform it, and then prostrate. However, if a long period passes between the salām and remembering, the prayer becomes invalidated and he must repeat it.
