Sajda al-sahw for folding the hands and releasing them

Question

I am praying two rak‘as of nafl sitting. In the second rak‘a, instead of placing my hands on my knees, I folded them as at the start of the prayer (lit. “tied the niyya”), but remembered at once. Should I perform sajda al-sahw, given that the pause took less than three tasbihs?

Answer

This does not make sajda al-sahw necessary (lazim).
