The answer

If the Imam remembers the missed prostration soon after, he should perform what is incumbent upon him, and his responsibility and the responsibility of the congregants are absolved. However, if he remembers it after a long separation, then he and the congregants must repeat the prayer. The criterion for a long separation is custom and common practice. As for the congregants who left the mosque before the completion of the prayer, they must repeat it once they become aware of the oversight.
