What does the one who prays recite in the prostration for forgetfulness?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What does the one who prays recite in the prostration for forgetfulness? That is, does he recite the tashahhud, or does he prostrate twice and then say the taslim? May Allah reward you with good. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. To proceed:

Answer:
If the question is about the prostration itself, meaning what he says in it, then he says what he says in the prostration of the prayer, that is, he says "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High), and he repeats that two or three times or more. He also supplicates to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in it, just as he supplicates to Allah in the prostration of the prayer. As for if the question is about what he does after the prostration for forgetfulness, when he raises his head from the second prostration of the prostration for forgetfulness, yes, he says the taslim immediately and does not recite the tashahhud, because the tashahhud he recited before the prostration for forgetfulness is sufficient. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
