If the imam says the takbir for the prostration of forgetfulness in the tarawih prayer after the taslim, and the mosque is crowded so that people think it is a new rak'ah, how should he proceed so that the people understand?

The questioner : He forgot the sitting in the first tashahhud, then, meaning, he sat for the sitting of rest... then he stood up.
The Shaykh : How did he forget... the one after him, it is done, it is done, it is done. May Allah reward you with good.
The student: If the imam is praying tarawih and there is a place where prostration is obligatory after the taslim, and if he prostrates, people think he said the takbir...
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, indeed. First, in this situation, we might say that he is compelled to say the takbir for prostration that is known among the common people. Did you understand the question? It is clear. He says that if he wants to prostrate after the taslim and the mosque is full, he said the taslim and the people said the taslim, then he said the takbir, so they thought he said the takbir for a funeral or what is this takbir? We say that in that case, we are compelled to change the voice in a way that indicates prostration. This is one way. Or, if he fears that they will not understand, he speaks to the people; there is no harm in speaking. He tells the people, "We have the prostration of forgetfulness, and we will prostrate." Meaning, this is for a need.
The student: Three, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Three, my dear, what Allah willed, yes.
The questioner : Meaning, it is said to the people, "O Shaykh."
The Shaykh : Yes, it is said to the people.
The Shaykh : How did he forget... the one after him, it is done, it is done, it is done. May Allah reward you with good.
