The questioner : The ma'mum suspects that the imam... replaced "O Allah, forgive me" with reciting the tashahhud.
The Shaykh : The imam recited the tashahhud instead of "O Allah, forgive me," and how do you know that?
The questioner : The prolongation.
The Shaykh : The prolongation might be due to forgetfulness, and he recited the tashahhud, saying: Glory be to Allah. It is possible it was forgetfulness, and it is possible he intended to increase the supplication between the two prostrations, as Anas used to do; he would sit between the two prostrations until the one saying: he has been confused or he has forgotten. Yes.
