1261. It was narrated from Muḥammad bin Yūsuf, the freed slave of 'Uthmān, from his father Yūsuf, that Mu'āwiyah prayed in front of them, and he stood up during the prayer when he should have sat. The people said Tasbīh, but he remained standing, then he prostrated twice while he was sitting, after he completed the prayer. Then he sat on the Minbar and said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Whoever forgets something in his prayer, let him prostrate twice like this.'" (Hasan)

Commentary
This lapse was the lapse of forgetting the testimony posture after two units of prayer. In such a situation, this is the very same way that if the prayer-leader rises upright, he should not return to the sitting posture after hearing
'Subhanallah', instead he should continue with the prayer. He should offer two prostrations for forgetfulness before the final greeting. In every lapse, this does not occur. Its explanation has preceded.
