Prostration of Forgetfulness for Lack of Concentration

Question
What is the ruling for someone who prostrates for forgetfulness due to distraction in prayer?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Distraction of the mind during prayer in itself does not necessitate prostration for forgetfulness unless a mandatory act is omitted, such as Al-Fatiha, or a mandatory act is delayed, such as the testimony. And God knows best.
