The prostration for forgetfulness for one who doubts about reciting al-Fatihah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The imam of a mosque says: When I lead the people in the quiet prayers, I sometimes think that I did not recite al-Fatihah, so I repeat it a second time. Should I perform the prostration for forgetfulness?

Answer:
No, no, he owes nothing, if Allah wills, but the whispers of Satan come to him, the whispers of Satan come to him, yes.
