What is said in the prostration of recitation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If she passes a verse of prostration, she prostrates, but she does not know what to say in the prostration of recitation. Please explain that to her. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The prostration of recitation is like the prostration in prayer. The woman and the man say in it: "Subhana Rabbi al-A'la, Subhana Rabbi al-A'la (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High, Glory be to my Lord, the Most High). O Allah, forgive me all my sins, the small and the large, the first and the last, the public and the private. 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.
Its ruling is the same as the ruling of the prostration in prayer for both men and women in the prostration of recitation. One says in it: "Subhana Rabbi al-A'la, Subhana Rabbi al-A'la" three times is better, or five times, and the obligatory amount is once. If one increases it to three, five, four, or six, it is all good; that is the best. And one makes supplication... The prostration is as mentioned before: "O Allah, forgive me my sins." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to make supplication in his prostration, saying:Sahih Muslim 483. This is from the supplication of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
And if he makes supplication with something else, such asSahih Muslim 771a, this is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did: praise of Allah and submission to Him . Yes.

اللهم اغفر لي ذنبي كله دقه وجله وأوله وآخره وعلانيته وسرهAnd if he makes supplication with something else, such as
O Allah, it is to Thee that I prostrate myself and it is in Thee that I affirm my faith, and I submit to Thee. My face is submitted before One Who created it, and shaped it, and opened his faculties of hearing and seeing. Blessed is Allah, the best of Creators
اللهم لك سجدت وبك آمنت ولك أسلمت سجد وجهي للذي خلقه وصوره وشق سمعه وبصره بحوله وقوته تبارك الله أحسن الخالقين
