Does saying "I" invalidate the prayer, if it is said during the prayer with the intention of expelling the obsessive thought of mocking religion, while forgetting not to add to the prayer?

The prayer of someone who forgets, is ignorant, or makes a mistake is valid and not nullified by their speech, based on the Almighty's saying: "Our Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or make a mistake," and His saying: "And there is no blame upon you for that in which you have erred, but [only for] what your hearts have intended." Sheikh Al-Islam stated that what a servant does forgetfully or mistakenly regarding the prohibitions of worship does not invalidate it.
