An imam who omitted the prostration for forgetfulness after the closing salam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. An imam made a mistake in his prayer, and he was alerted to it, but he did not prostrate after the salam for the mistake. He was informed of the mistake, but he insisted and did not prostrate. What is required of the ma'mums? Do they have to prostrate?

The Shaykh:
Pay attention to the imam, pay attention to the imam and the prostration after the salam.

The questioner:
Leaving it does not invalidate the prayer.

The Shaykh:
Meaning, after the salam, it does not invalidate the prayer, yes.
