Question:
You ask and say: What is the form of prostration of gratitude? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The prostration of gratitude is like the prostration of prayer, like the prostration for forgetfulness, and like the prostration of recitation: it is one prostration. In it, one says: "Subhana Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High), "Subhana Rabbi al-A'la," praises Allah, extols Him, and thanks Him for what He has bestowed upon him, such as health, a child, victory for Islam, a conquest for the Muslims, or something similar that brings him joy or brings joy to the Muslims. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prostrated in gratitude, and so did al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) when the news of the conquest of al-Yamamah and the killing of Musaylimah the Liar reached him; he prostrated to Allah in gratitude.
And the correct view is that it is permissible even if the one prostrating is not in a state of ritual purity. When the glad tidings reach him, he prostrates, even if he is not in a state of ritual purity.
And so it is with the prostration of recitation, which is of the same kind as the prostration of gratitude: one prostration when reciting the verses that contain prostration, even if one is not in a state of ritual purity, according to the stronger of the two opinions of the scholars.
In it, one says what is said in the prostration of prayer, the prostration of recitation, the prostration of gratitude, and the prostration for forgetfulness; in all of them, one says what is said in the prostration of prayer: "Subhana Rabbi al-A'la, Subhana Rabbi al-A'la... Subhana Allah Rabbana wa bihamdika, Allahumma ighfir li... Subbuhan Quddus Rabb al-Mala'ikah wa al-Ruh" (Glory be to You, O Allah, our Lord, and with Your praise, O Allah, forgive me... The One who is free from all imperfections, the Holy, Lord of the angels and the Spirit). One also makes supplication in it with the good supplications that Allah has made pleasing, and in the prostration of gratitude, one thanks Allah additionally, thanking Him for the blessing that has reached him.
And one also says in the prostration:Sahih Muslim 771a This is said in the prostration of prayer, the prostration of recitation, and the prostration of gratitude, along with: It is necessary to have It is necessary to have the word at least once, and if one repeats it three or five times, that is better and more appropriate in all types of prostration: the prostration of recitation... the prostration of gratitude... the prostration of prayer... the prostration for forgetfulness. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
