Mistakes in Qiraat

Missing an aayah in salaah

Q: While reciting qiraat in salaah, I missed the third aayah of Surah Naas (Ila hinnaas). The remainder of the surah was completed.

1) Should I have made a Sajdah e Sahw?

2) If Sajdah e Sahw was necessary, but was not made, should the salaah be repeated?

Reciting the “daal” in “wa lad-daaalleen” for less than 6 seconds

Q: I heard that when reading Surah Fatihah, you need to make the sound of the “dal” in “wa lad-daaalleen” longer, till 6 seconds. However, it is difficult for me to count how many seconds and often I finish it in 3 second or so. Is my prayer valid even if I do it deliberately because I can’t count seconds when reciting?
