The prostrationto Allah, Exalted be He, is one of the greatest acts of worship which draws the servant closer to his Lord, The Mighty and Majestic, wherein one surrenders himself between the Hands of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. There are certain parts of the Noble Quran that the Muslim should prostrate humbly to Allah, Exalted be He, upon reciting or hearing them. This is called the prostration of recitation (sujood al-tilaawah). In this hadeeth, ʿAbdullah ibn ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with them) reports that whenever the Prophet ﷺ recite a surah which contained a prostration of recitation, he ﷺ would prostrate for his recitation, and the people would prostrate with him for hearing [the ayah], until no one could find a spot to place their face [for the prostration]; this was due to the shortage of space, the multitude of worshippers, and severe overcrowding. In the Quran, there are 15 places where the prostrationof recitationis performed according to the dominant opinion. And what is said in the prostration of recitation is what is It is prescribed to say in the prostration of recitation what is prescribed to say in the prostrations for prayer, with respect to the tasbeehand supplication. Some of the other benefits that we can conclude from this hadeeth is that we know about the permissibility of the prostration of recitation for the one reciting the ayah in which there is a prostration of recitation, and the one who is listening to it. The hadeeth shows the eagerness of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) in pursuing the good and hastening to do so; and their adherence in following The Prophet ﷺ..
