What is the ruling on the imam's prayer if he stands up from the first tashahhud and completes standing, then returns when he is reminded? Is his prayer valid?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : An imam forgot the first tashahhud, and the people made tasbih for him. After he had completed standing, he sat down. What is the ruling on the prayer? Is the prayer invalid?

The Shaykh : The prayer is not invalid because he was ignorant. However, if he did it intentionally, knowing that it is not permissible for him to return, and then returned intentionally, his prayer is invalid.
