What is the ruling regarding someone who doubted the number of Rak'ahs in the Asr prayer, then completed it, then forgot the prostration of forgetfulness (sujood as-sahw) and remembered it five minutes later, whereupon he performed it?

If you remember the prostration of forgetfulness five minutes after concluding the prayer, perform it alone without repeating the Rak'ah. Repeating it has no effect on your prayer. The prostration of forgetfulness consists of two prostrations.
