The Increase in Fajr Rak'ahs Forgetfully

Question
I prayed Fajr and after the Tashahhud, I forgot and stood up to pray the third rak'ah. What is the ruling?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If one prays the third (rak'ah) after the tashahhud in the second (rak'ah), the obligatory prayer is not invalidated, and you should return to the sitting position and then prostrate for forgetfulness, and God knows best.
