The meaning of prostration in the hadith about raising degrees and removing sins, and the ruling on a standalone prostration

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It was mentioned in a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
No one prostrates to Allah but Allah will raise him one degree in status thereby and will erase one of his sins.ما من عبد يسجد لله سجدة إلا رفعه بها درجة وحط بها عنه خطيئة.
Sunan Ibn Majah 1423Sahih (Darussalam)
The questioner asks: Is this prostration part of the prayer, or is it permissible for him to prostrate a standalone prostration?

Answer:
It is within the prayer, a prostration within the prayer. There is no standalone prostration except the prostration of recitation or the prostration of gratitude. Yes.
