How to Perform the Prostration of Forgetfulness

Question
How do we perform the prostration of forgetfulness? Is it a prostration or a complete unit of prayer?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The prostration of forgetfulness occurs at the end of the prayer, and it is done by prostrating twice after the salutation to the right, then reciting the testimony and sending blessings upon the Prophet, peace be upon him, and then concluding with a salutation to the right and left. And God knows best.
