AL-KAFI #1804: LAFAZ SUJUD SAHWI DAN HUKUM MENINGGALKAN ZIKIR KETIKA DUDUK ANTARA DUA SUJUD SAHWI
What should be recited during the prostration of forgetfulness (sujud sahwi), and is the prayer invalid if no dhikr is recited while sitting between its two prostrations?
Short answer
There is no specific evidence on the recitation for sujud sahwi, so it follows the usual dhikr of prostration in prayer, such as the tasbih of sujud.

Summary
There is no specific evidence on the recitation for sujud sahwi, so it follows the usual dhikr of prostration in prayer, such as the tasbih of sujud. Some scholars state that it is recommended to say "Subhana man la yanamu wa la yashu", but reciting the same dhikr as in regular prayer is considered more preferable. The recitation while sitting between the two prostrations is likewise the same as in an ordinary prayer. Omitting the dhikr does not invalidate the prayer because it is a sunnah act and not a pillar or obligatory part of the prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Perbuatan tidak membaca zikir pada duduk antara dua sujud sahwi tidak membatalkan solat kerana ia bukan perkara rukun atau fardu dalam solat.
