Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to the Companion, “I advise you to increase your prostration,” is the intention to lengthen the prostration? Or what is the intention? And
The Shaykh:
Abundant prostration does not mean lengthening the prostration; abundant prostration means in obedience and worship. Yes.
The questioner:
He says, may Allah preserve you, and is this distinction for one who increases prostration, or is it specific to this Companion?
The Shaykh:
It is not specific to this Companion; rather, the Muslim increases prostration voluntarily and in voluntary prayers after the obligatory ones.
