Should the congregant perform the prostration of forgetfulness if he thought he had caught the last tashahhud and sat for it, then remembered it was not the last rak'ah and stood to follow the imam? What is the ruling on one who out of ignorance abandons the prostration of forgetfulness in this situation? Does he have to repeat the prayer?

There is no prostration (of forgetfulness) for a congregant if he makes a mistake without his Imam, according to the general consensus of the people of knowledge, because the Imam bears his forgetfulness.
