Is my prayer sufficient if I was going to perform the prostration of forgetfulness (sujud al-sahw) for a deficiency and I forgot, and then I remembered when I said the taslim (salutation) but did not complete it, and I returned to perform the prostration of forgetfulness and then said the taslim, and I do not remember if I completed "Al-salamu alaykum"?

Your prayer is not invalidated by interrupting the and performing the prostration of forgetfulness, as the prostration of forgetfulness is permissible both before and after the salaam, and there is no disagreement among jurists on this matter.
