Reciting correctly after reciting “لِلْعُسْرَىٰ” instead of “لِلْيُسْرَىٰ”

Question

If the imam in a fard prayer recites a verse wrongly and then corrects it and goes back over it, will the prayer be valid? For example, he first recited by mistake “وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ” and then went back and recited “فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ” (Surah al-Layl, 92:6–7).

Answer

This prayer will not become valid by going back in this way.
