The Rulings of Prostration of Recitation and Its Supplications

Question:
The questioner asks, Honorable Shaykh, about the rulings related to the prostration of recitation, and what are the supplications one makes in it? And does one say takbir (Allahu akbar) when raising one's head?

Answer:
Yes, the prostration of recitation is like the prostration of prayer in its form and in what is said in it, and it adds the reported supplication: "O Allah, to You I prostrate, upon You I rely, to You I return, my face, my body, my flesh, my blood, and my bones prostrate to Allah who created them, formed them, and opened their hearing and sight," as it came in the athar (report). One prostrates as one prostrates for prayer, and it is recommended (mustahabb) to say in the prostration, along with "Subhana Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High), "O Allah, to You I prostrate..." to the end of it. It is recommended; the prostration of recitation is recommended. Yes.
