بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
If a person forgets to do anything - eg, he or she forgets to change the dress which is having Najas (impurity) and pray with the impure dress *(out of forgetfulness)*, or person forget a prayer and he or she does not remember it until he or she has performed another obligatory prayer, then, he or she is not sinful as the Prophet said: *''Allah has forgiven my nation for things they forget, or do by mistake, or which they are forced to do.''* 📚[Ibn Maajah]
Besides, Allah (swt) Says
لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَاۚ ..."
{"Our Lord, Do not impose blame upon us if we have" forgotten or erred...} 📚[Quran 2:286]
However,
You are obliged to make up the prayer that you forgot to perform, as the Prophet (saw) said: *''Whoever forgets a prayer should perform it as soon as he remembers it"* Then the Prophet (saw) recited the verse in which Allah The Almighty Says:
".... وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ لِذِكْرِىٓ
"So worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance. - Quran Ta Ha, 20:14 📚Al-Bukhari and Muslim
Therefore,
If you forgot to pray the Asr prayer until after praying Magrib & Ishai, then you are only required to pray the Asr prayer and you do not need to repeat the Mabrib & Ishai prayer. Yes. You are not considered sinful and your prayer as well even if you led people in prayer as Imam, your prayer & theirs is valid - In Shaa Allah.
Although,
Very few number of scholars are of the opinion that you pray the prayer you forget and then, repeat all the ones you have prayed before you remember.. *But, this verdict is not correct, and they don't have convincing evidence or evidences backing up this opinion*.
So,
If you forgot to pray any prayer until after praying the next prayer or prayers, then you are only required to pray the forgotten prayer and you do not need to repeat the next prayer or prayers already established.
Allah alone knows best
سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك نشهد ان لا اله الا انت نستغفرك ونتوابوااليك
