The answer

According to some scholars, such as the Hanbalis and a statement among the Malikis, one who forgets the takbirat al-intiqal (transition takbir) is required to perform al-sahw (prostration of forgetfulness). As for reciting Al-Fatiha aloud in the third rak'ah, scholars have differed on whether sujud al-sahw is legislated for it. If its legislation is affirmed, then performing sujud al-sahw before the (salutation of peace) is sufficient, because when a deficiency and an addition occur together, the deficiency takes precedence.
