Question:
The listening sister, Fatima Musa from Fife, sent a message containing several questions. In one of them, she says: If I am reciting the Noble Qur'an and I come across a prostration sign during the recitation, what do I do, and what do I say?
Answer:
The Sunnah for the reciter—whether the reciter is a man or a woman—when he passes a prostration verse and finishes it, is that he recites it, says takbir, and prostrates. If he is in prayer, he prostrates while in prayer, whether it is obligatory or voluntary. He says takbir and prostrates, saying what he says in the prostration of prayer: (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High, Glory be to my Lord, the Most High)Sahih al-Bukhari 4293.
And he supplicates to his Lord with whatever supplication is easy for him, such as:Sahih Muslim 483 The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate with this supplication in his prostration, such as: Sunan Ibn Majah 3850Sahih (Darussalam) O Allah, forgive me and my parents—if his parents are Muslims—O Allah, forgive me and my parents and all the Muslims, O Allah, rectify my heart and my deeds, O Allah, guide me to the straight path, and similar good supplications. Then he raises his head with takbir if he is in prayer, just as in the prostration of prayer he raises his head with takbir, and returns to his recitation if he is in prayer.
As for if he is outside of prayer, he only says takbir when prostrating; there is no takbir when raising the head, and no taslim. If he is outside of prayer, only the takbir when prostrating is reported. If he is outside of prayer, he raises his head and reads if he wishes, or stands up if he wishes. There is no takbir, and no salam. This is the correct practice in prostration of recitation if it is outside of prayer.
As for if he is inside of prayer, he says takbir when prostrating and says takbir when raising his head, according to the scriptural evidence. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. And is this the same for men and women?
The Shaykh: It is for both men and women alike, yes.

Subhanaka Allahumma Rabbanã wa bihamdika, Allãhumma ighfirli
سبحانك اللهم ربنا وبحمدك، اللهم اغفر ليAnd he supplicates to his Lord with whatever supplication is easy for him, such as:
O Lord, forgive me all my sins, small and great, first and last, open and secret.
اللهم اغفر لي ذنبي كله، دقه وجله، وأوله وآخره، وعلانيته وسرهAllahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul-'afwa, fa'fu 'anni (O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me)
اللهم إنك عفو، تحب العفو؛ فاعف عنيAs for if he is outside of prayer, he only says takbir when prostrating; there is no takbir when raising the head, and no taslim.
