Is the closing salam prescribed from the prostration of recitation?

Question:
Does the prostration of recitation include a closing salam or not?

Answer:
The correct view is that it does not include a closing salam or a second takbir. It includes only the first takbir when going into prostration, and one says in it what one says in prayer, such as tasbih and du'a: "Glory be to my Lord, the Most High, Glory be to my Lord, the Most High, O Allah, to You I prostrate, in You I believe, and to You I submit. My face prostrates to the One who created it, gave it its form, and opened its hearing and sight by His power and might. Blessed is Allah, the best of creators," just as one says in the prostration of prayer.
It is a recommended practice (sunnah), not obligatory. One says takbir only when going into prostration, unless one is in prayer; in that case, one says takbir when going into prostration and when rising, like the rest of the prostrations in prayer, saying takbir when lowering and rising. However, outside of prayer, one says takbir only when going into prostration, because that is what came in the hadith.
Some scholars held the view that one says takbir when rising and says the closing salam, but there is no evidence for this.
