If any of the necessary acts are omitted or delayed for some time due to forgetfulness (e.g., sitting between the second and third rak'ats of those prayers having three or four rak'ats, stopping between the obligatory acts more than a few seconds, or omitting the qunut in the witr prayer) after giving the first salutation to the right, make two prostrations just like the other prostrations and recite the tashahhud (tahiyyat) and calling of God's peace and blessings on God's Messenger. Then, give salutations and finish the prayer.
In the congregational prayer, the imam recites only the tahiyyat and the initial part of calling God's blessings and peace upon the Messenger and his Family (i.e., Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala Al-i Muhammad) before making the prostrations of forgetfulness.
