Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : As for the matter of the turtledoves that we promised you yesterday, we sent someone to look for them in the market, but he did not find them. They said that they will arrive in two months, meaning their season has not come yet. So we apologize to you for this, and if Allah wills, when their season comes, whoever among you remains in the city, yes.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : In two months, if Allah wills, he will look for them and find them, if Allah wills. As for now, let us proceed to the questions. I ask you, do you have a desire for us to have a lesson after the Fajr prayer? There is no harm, very well, it shall be so, if Allah wills. Yes, yes... the brother will convey it.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : After Fajr here, if Allah wills.
The student: Maghrib... Fajr.
The Shaykh : Maghrib is now, and Maghrib is tomorrow, if Allah wills, if Allah wills, by the permission of Allah, yes, we begin.
The questioner : In the name of Allah, and praise be to Allah.
A questioner says: O honorable Shaykh, what is your opinion of the supplication in the prostration of recitation that many people recite, which Ibn Kathir mentioned in his tafsir of Surah Sad, which is: And is the prostration of Surah Sad among the obligatory prostrations or not?
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
This report mentioned from the tafsir of Ibn Kathir was also mentioned by other scholars. He says: It is a suitable supplication, but he says before it, "Subhan Allah, my Lord, the Most High," due to the generality of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): And he also says: Sahih al-Bukhari 4293 As for the prostration of Surah Sad, the correct view is that it is a prostration of recitation; it is a prostration, meaning that if we pass through it, we prostrate, whether in prayer or outside of prayer.
And as for whether it is among the obligatory prostrations? Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1069 Yes.

O Allah, write for me thereby a reward with You, and make it for me a store with You, and remove thereby a burden from me, and accept it from me as You accepted it from Your servant Dawud.
اللهم اكتب لي بها عندك أجرا واجعلها لي عندك ذخرا وضع بها عني وزرا واقبلها مني كما قبلتها من عبدك داودThe Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
This report mentioned from the tafsir of Ibn Kathir was also mentioned by other scholars. He says:
O Allah, to You I prostrate and in You I believe and upon You I rely. My face prostrates to Allah who created it and formed it and opened its hearing and sight by His power and strength. Blessed is Allah, the best of creators. O Allah, write for me thereby a reward, and remove from me thereby 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 بحوله وقوته فتبارك الله أحسن الخالقين اللهم اكتب لي بها أجرا وحط عني بها وزرا واجعلها لي عندك ذخرا وتقبلها مني كما تقبلتها من عبدك داودMake it in your prostrations
