The questioner : Yes, one of the brothers asked me about this imam. Instead of saying "Allah hears the one who praises Him," he said, "Our Lord, to You belongs all praise," and then, after the closing salam, he prostrated for forgetfulness.
The Shaykh : Okay.
The questioner : So what do you say, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Okay, okay.
The questioner : It is fine, meaning the original ruling is that he should do this.
The Shaykh : What is this?
The questioner : That for every instance of forgetfulness, there are two prostrations.
The Shaykh: Of course.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Yes, O Shaykh. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
