Question:
Regarding the prostration of recitation, what is said in it? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions. The prostration of recitation is a recommended practice (sunnah) when one comes upon a verse containing a prostration; he prostrates and says in his prostration what he says in the prostration of prayer: "Subhana Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High), and he repeats this. He supplicates with whatever is easy for him to say. If he says, "O Allah, to You I prostrate, in You I believe, upon You I rely, my face prostrates to Allah who created it, and opened its hearing and sight by His power and might, O Allah, accept this from me as You accepted it from Your servant Dawud and Your Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)," that is good. Otherwise, he supplicates with what is in the Shari'ah after saying "Subhana Rabbi al-A'la," and he says the glorification several times. May Allah reward you with good, and may Allah do you good.
