The Ruling on Forgetting the Bowing in Prayer

Question
What is the ruling for someone who forgets to bow in their prayer?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: he must repeat a full unit of prayer due to the invalidation of the prostration if it was not preceded by a bowing. This is unless he exits the prayer; if he exits the prayer, he must repeat the prayer due to the invalidation caused by leaving a pillar. And God knows best.
