Does the imam compensate for the dhikr recited in ruku' and sujud if the ma'mum did not perform it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We know that the imam compensates for the ma'mum regarding the recitation of al-Fatihah if the ma'mum is unable to recite it. Does the imam also compensate for the dhikr recited in ruku' and sujud if this ma'mum did not perform it?

Answer:
The imam compensates for the ma'mum in matters, among which is the recitation of al-Fatihah according to the madhhab, and sujud al-sahw if the ma'mum forgot behind the imam and was with him from the beginning of the prayer. The imam compensates for the ma'mum's forgetfulness if he was with him from the beginning of the prayer to the end. There are eight matters in which the imam compensates for the ma'mum.
I composed this in some verses. You will find this in the marginal notes of Shaykh al-'Andari on the commentary of al-Zad, regarding the matters the imam compensates for the ma'mum. The first one says: The imam compensates for a ma'mum in eight matters, which are counted in the poem, and then he mentions them until the end. I do not memorize them all now because it has been a long time since I studied them, but you can review them. Yes.
