Reading in the Third and Fourth Rak'ah

Question
What is the ruling for someone who recited something from the Quran in the third and fourth rak'ah of the obligatory prayer?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The original rule for the last two rak'ahs is to recite Al-Fatiha specifically, and if one praises (God) or remains silent for the duration of it, it is valid. If one adds to the Surah Al-Fatiha, it does not require prostration for forgetfulness, and it is disliked as a matter of etiquette. And God knows best.
