  As-Salaam Alaikum wa'Rahman tu' Lah.

Someone help insha-Allah. If someone makes salaat behind a muslim that he finds out doesn't know his salaat completely, may Allah increase them, and multiple mistakes are made, and the sujdatus-sahu' is also not made correctly, should one make up the salaat. Can someone post a dhaleel before Isha' comes in?

Baarak-Allaahu Feekum - wa sal-Allaahu wa-sallam 'alaa Nabiyyinaa Muhammad,
was-Salaam 'alaykum wa-Rahmatullaahe wa-Barakaatuh.

  It is authentically narrated that Abu Hurairah
reported that the Prophet, may Allah exalt his mention, prayed with his companions Dhuhr
prayer or Asr prayer, and made the Tasleem after two Rakah, some people hurriedly left
towards the doors of the Masjid, saying, the Salah has been shortened! The Prophet, may
Allah exalt his mention, then stood up, and it appeared that he was angry, and a man stood
up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, have you forgotten or has the prayer been shortened?'
The Prophet, may Allah exalt his mention, said, 'I have neither forgotten, nor has the
prayer been shortened!' The man then said, 'Indeed you have forgotten.' The Prophet, may
Allah exalt his mention, asked the companions, 'Is it true what he is saying?' They said,
'Yes,' the Prophet, may Allah exalt his mention, then went forward and continued what he
had forgotten from his prayer, then he made the Tasleem, Sujood Saho, and then he made
Tasleem. <Agreed Upon>

I made Sujdatus'Sahu and, may Allah help the striving brother, am helping him with his salaat. Do I have to make up the salaat though?

A post about Sujdatus-Sahu' by the below brother is why I ask. I do not have my little black book about Prostration for Forgetfulness I think by Shaikh 'Uthaymeen Rahimahu'llah, breaking the issue down. The below point from his post is why I ask---

1. If a person increases in his prayer something from the prayer, such as adding an extra
standing in a place where the person should be sitting during the prayer, or the like,
intentionally, his prayer would be rendered null and void according to the consensus of the
scholars, and according to the words of the Prophet, may Allah exalt his mention, in the
Hadeeth of Ibn Masood, may Allah be pleased with him: 'If the man increases in his prayer
or decreases let him make two sujood.' <Muslim>
