Muqtadi making sajdah sahw

Q: How does one perform prostration of forgetfulness behind an Imam if one makes an error, such as sending blessings upon the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) in the first sitting or reciting surah fathia?

A: If the muqtadi while performing Salaah behind the Imaam makes a mistake, he will not make sajda-e-sahw.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

فإن سها المؤتم لم يلزم الإمام ولا المؤتم السجود لأنه لو سجد وحده كان مخالفا لإمامه ولو تابعه الإمام ينقلب الأصل تبعا (هداية 1/159)
