What is the ruling on the imam’s mistake in the funeral prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the imam adds to or subtracts from the number of takbirs, should I say Subhan Allah to him, and does he prostrate for forgetfulness?

Answer:
No, no, there is no prostration for forgetfulness and no glorification of Allah. If he is uncertain about the number of takbirs, he should build upon certainty and complete the prayer. Yes.
