Is a worshiper's omission of the prayer upon the Prophet after the final Tashahhud, then remembering it and returning to recite it before the prostration of forgetfulness, considered valid?
The issue of forgetting the (Ibrahimiyah blessings) in the last is summarized by the jurists' differing opinions regarding its ruling:
1. The view of it being a pillar (Rukn) (Shafi'i and Hanbali schools): If one forgets it and says the Tasleem (salutation to end the prayer) and the time elapsed is not long, he must immediately return to perform it, then prostrate for forgetfulness ( al-Sahw). If a long time has elapsed, he must repeat the prayer. 2. The view of it being a (recommended act) (Hanafi and Maliki schools): One is not obligated to return to perform it, nor is Sujud al-Sahw required. 3. The view of it being an obligation () (Ishaq and a narration from Ahmad): The worshiper does not return to perform it, but must perform Sujud al-Sahw to compensate for it.
What you did is correct according to the Shafi'i and Hanbali schools.
