Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah

As the title suggests, this is the 3rd part in a series of questions relating to Shafi'i fiqh. Alhamdulillah, I have benefitted much from the responses by the Shafi'i elders on this forum. InshaAllah, may this benefit continue.

Today's question is not hypothetical as my local masjid is hanafi.

Just some background:
Hanafis -> The sajdah of forgetfulness is done after the salaams.
Malikis/Hanbalis -> The sajdah is done before/after salaams depending on whether one ommitted/added from/to the salah.
Shafi'is -> The sajdah is done before the salaams.

In the commentary of the Guiding Helper (Maliki text book), I came across the following:

Footnote 1297:
Latecomers should not prostrate prostrations of forgetfulness that the imam does after the salam along with him. Rather, they should immediately stand up after the imam's first salam and start making up the missed parts. Then after their own terminating salam, they should prostrate these prostrations (or they should prostrate before if they missed a stressed sunnah while they were making up their missed prayer (refer to footnote 1012)). If such latecomers intentionally prostrate prostrations of forgetfulness with the imam after his salam, their prayer will become invalid

Question:
> Latecomer: If I am praying behind a hanafi imam and he does sajdah after salaams, do I avoid it and stand up to make up my missed rak'ahs? [as per above]
> Not a latecomer: Do I just follow the imam as per usual?

Jazak Allah Khair

Wassalaam
