(For every lapse, two prostrations), is this general for every lapse?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My teacher,
For every lapse, two prostrations لكل سهوة سجدتان
could you give us an idea or explanation of this hadith? Which lapse does it include regarding the two prostrations?

The Shaykh : As we mentioned earlier; this is applied in its generality, except where there is an explicit text from the Messenger - peace and blessings be upon him - that he lapsed; and yet he did not prostrate.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : For example, when he was startled during the prayer, and after the prayer he was asked:
Is there not among you Abu? أليس فيكم أُبيُّ ؟
. He said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, here I am." He said:
What prevented you from opening for me? ما منعك أن تفتح عليَّ ؟
Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:530
. He did not prostrate here. For example, evidence from his statement: if one forgets the first tashahhud and stands up, if he continues standing, he does not return and he prostrates the prostrations for forgetfulness; and if he does not continue standing, he performs the tashahhud and there is no prostration upon him. This is a lapse for which there is no prostration. And so on, meaning a person can trace the places where there is a text, either from his action or his statement - peace and blessings be upon him -; so the original ruling is that it is general, except what is restricted, as we explained the rule earlier.
