AL-KAFI #1783: ADAKAH PERLU SUJUD SAHWI SEKIRANYA TIDAK MENYEBUT LAFAZ ( سمع الله لمن حمده ) SEBALIKNYA MENYEBUT ( الله أكبر ) KETIKA IKTIDAL?
Is a prostration of forgetfulness required if someone says the takbir (Allahu akbar) instead of the tasmi' phrase (sami'allahu liman hamidah) while rising from bowing?
Short answer
A prostration of forgetfulness is not required when the tasmi' phrase during iktidal is replaced with the takbir, whether done intentionally or not.

Summary
A prostration of forgetfulness is not required when the tasmi' phrase during iktidal is replaced with the takbir, whether done intentionally or not. The phrase falls under the Haiat sunnah acts, which do not call for a prostration of forgetfulness if omitted. However, if a person performs the prostration knowing that it is not recommended in this case, the prayer may become invalid for deliberately adding a pillar and movement to the prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sujud sahwi tidak perlu dilakukan bagi mereka yang tertukar lafaz tasmi' ketika iktidal iaitu lafaz (سمع الله لمن حمده) kepada lafaz takbir ( الله أكبر ) sewaktu iktidal sama ada secara sengaja mahupun tidak.
