Did Not Request Rain and Prayer Time Passed

Question

If one forgets to say 'Veten Tal U'Matar' in the prayer, finishes the prayer, and needs to return to the beginning of the prayer but did not manage to do so before the prayer time passed, what should be done?

Answer

If the time for that prayer has passed, one should pray the next prayer twice.

For example, if one forgot to request rain in Mincha and the time for Mincha has passed, one should pray Maariv twice. The first for Maariv and the second as a compensation for Mincha. The same applies to other prayers.
