Question:
The imam led us in prayer and reached a prostration, so he said takbir while bowing, and we did not know, so we said takbir while prostrating. Then we did not stand up until he said, "Allah hears the one who praises Him." What is required of us? Shsh.

Answer:
This sometimes happens. You must stand up from the prostration and follow the imam in the remainder of the prayer. When he says the closing salam, you must stand up and perform a rak'ah, because you missed the bowing with the imam. You must perform a rak'ah and prostrate for forgetfulness after the imam.
