Question

Forgot 'Al HaNissim' on Purim night and remembered some time after finishing, should he repeat it?

Answer

Hello and happy Purim

According to Halacha, whether one forgot during the day or night, in prayer or in Birkat Hamazon, he does not repeat it.

If he remembers before finishing the blessing, he returns and says it.

In Birkat Hamazon, if he forgot and remembered while in the fourth blessing, he says before 'HaRachaman', 'HaRachaman, may He perform for us miracles and wonders as He did for our forefathers in those days at this time. In the days of Mordechai, etc.'.

However, regarding 'Al HaNissim' on Chanukah and Purim, if one forgot and remembered before finishing the blessing of 'HaTov Shimcha', it implies from both that he should return and say afterwards 'Ve'al Kulam Yitbarech', etc., in order.
