What is the relationship between frequent standing and the frequent prostration mentioned in the hadith?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes, Salim.

The questioner : May Allah forgive you. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the person ... in Paradise, "Help yourself with prostration."

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Frequent standing is a necessary consequence of frequent prostration. Then know that prostration may be intended to mean prayer,
So exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate [to Him]. فَسَبِّح بِحَمدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِنَ السّاجِدينَ
[Al-Hijr 15:98]
referring to those who pray. So his saying "frequent prostration" does not mean that a person, for example, prays two rak'ahs and then performs twenty prostrations. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not intend this, but rather frequent prayer is intended. That is, the more frequent the prostration, the more frequent the prayer, since it is well known that there are only two prostrations in each prayer. Yes, Khalid.
