The ruling on reciting al-Fatihah behind the imam in the secret prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I prayed behind the imam in the 'Asr prayer and forgot to recite al-Fatihah in the first rak'ah. Does the imam bear this pillar for me?

Answer:
Yes, if the ma'mum forgets al-Fatihah or is ignorant of it, the imam bears it for him, as came in the hadith of Abu Bakrah al-Thaqafi when he arrived and the imam was bowing, so he bowed without the row and then entered the row. He asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said:
May Allah increase your eagerness! But do not do it again.زادك الله حرصًا ولا تعد
Sunan Abi Dawud 683Sahih (Al-Albani)
and he did not order him to make up the rak'ah, because he did not attend its standing.
