The answer

Reciting a surah during prayer is a sunnah. Its place is during the standing posture (qiyam) after Al-Fatiha in the Fajr and Jumu'ah prayers, and in the first two rak'ahs of Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha prayers. Whoever forgets it and does not remember it until he bows for rukoo' has missed the chance to rectify it (by reciting it). He should perform the two prostrations of forgetfulness (sujood al-sahw) before the tasleem (final salutation).
