Imam sb forgot to call the first 3 extra takbeers after sana during first rakat and he directly started surah fateha.When people gave lukmas from behind,he called the missed 3 takbeers after finishing surah fateha and then continued with the qiraat. After this,he continued the salaah as usual and everything was fine during the second rakat.At last, he finished the salaah with sahu sajdas.Few people raised disputes that the salaah was not valid.So please make it clear.
