The questioner : What is the form of prostration for recitation, and what must the Muslim recite in this prostration?
The Shaykh : The form of prostration for recitation is like the prostration in the body of the prayer. When a person comes upon a verse of prostration, he says Allahu Akbar and prostrates, saying:Sunan Ibn Majah 888Da’if (Darussalam) and saying: Sahih al-Bukhari 4293 and saying: , then he raises his head from the prostration without saying Allahu Akbar and without the closing salam. This is if he prostrates outside of the prayer. As for if he prostrates during the prayer, he says Allahu Akbar when he prostrates and says Allahu Akbar when he raises his head, because those who described the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: , and it is well known that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would come upon a verse of prostration in his prayer and prostrate in it, as Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: أنه صلى الله عليه وسلم قرأ بسورة: إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ وسجد فيها في صلاة العشاء That he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited from the surah: When the sky is split, and prostrated in it in the night prayer And the general report of those who described the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he says Allahu Akbar every time he lowers himself and every time he raises himself includes the case where he prostrates for recitation. So if you prostrate for recitation while you are praying, you say Allahu Akbar when you prostrate and when you raise your head.

“Subhana Rabbiyal-A’la (Glory is to my Lord the Most High)” three times
سبحان ربي الأعلى ثلاث مراتSubhanaka Allahumma Rabbanã wa bihamdika, Allãhumma ighfirli
سبحانك اللهم ربنا وبحمدك اللهم اغفر ليO Allah, to You I prostrate, in You I believe, and upon You I rely. My face prostrates to Allah who created it, gave it form, and opened its hearing and sight. O Allah, write for me by it a reward, remove from me by it a burden, and make it for me a store with You, and accept it from me as You accepted it from Your servant Dawud
اللهم لك سجدت وبك آمنت وعليك توكلت، سجد وجهي لله الذي خلقه وصوره وشق سمعه وبصره، اللهم اكتب لي بها أجرا وحط عني بها وزرا واجعلها لي عندك ذخراً ، وتقبلها مني كما تقبلت من عبدك داودHe used to say Allahu Akbar every time he lowered himself and every time he raised himself
