Saying Allahu Akbar instead of Sami' Allahu liman hamidah in the prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The mosque imam says: In the rising from the bowing, he said Allahu Akbar instead of Sami' Allahu li man hamidah. Is the prostration for forgetfulness obligatory upon him?

The Shaykh:
If he did so intentionally, his prayer is invalid.

The questioner:
Or is the rak'ah in which he omitted the response invalid?

The Shaykh:
As for if he said it while distracted or forgetful, he performs the prostration for forgetfulness; because he left out an obligatory part of the prayer. Yes.
