There is no specific du’aa’ narrated in the ahaadeeth for sujood al-shukr, hence the scholars said that what is to be said in sujood al-shukr is the same tasbeeh and du’aa’ as are said when prostrating in prayer. So one should say <i>Subhaana Rabbiy al-A’laa</i> (Glory be to my Lord Most High), <i id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430142728706_2066">Allaahumma laka sajadtu wa bika aamantu wa laka aslamtu, sajada wajhi lillahi khalaqahu wa sawwarahu wa shaqqa sam’ahu wa basarahu, tabaaraka Allaah ahsan ul-khaaliqeen</i> (O Allaah, unto You I prostrate, in You I believe and to You I submit. My face has prostrated to the One who created and formed it, and gave it hearing and sight. Blessed be Allaah, the best of creators). Then he should make du’aa’ as he likes. </div>

Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: the description, rulings and conditions of sujood al-shukr are the same as those for sujood al-tilaawah (prostration required when reciting certain verses of Qur’aan). (<i>al-Mughni</i>, 2/372). And he said concerning sujood al-tilaawah: he should say in this prostration what he says in the prostration during prayer. (<i id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430142728706_2064">al-Mughni</i>, 2/362). </div>

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “Sujood al-shukr is done in response to a calamity that is averted or a blessing which come to a person. It is like sujood al-tilaawah outside prayer. Some of the scholars said that wudoo’ and takbeer is required, and some said that only the first takbeer is required. Then he should fall down in prostration, and make du’aa’ after saying “<i>Subhaana Rabbiy al-A’laa</i> (Glory be to my Lord Most High).”</div>

Is it necessary to have wudoo’ in order to do sujood al-tilaawah (prostration required when reading certain verses of the Qur’aan)? Do we have to say Allaahu akbar when going down and coming up, whether that is whilst praying or otherwise? What should be said in this prostration? Are the du’aa’s that have been narrated for it saheeh? Is it prescribed to say salaam after this prostration if it is done outside of prayer?</div>
</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430142728706_2038" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(245, 239, 224); border-style: solid none; border-top-color: rgb(245, 239, 224); border-width: 1px 0px; color: #943e19; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 20px; padding: 10px 15px; text-align: justify;">
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430142728706_2037" style="color: #7c691b; line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 0px;">
Praise be to Allaah.  <div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430142728706_2036" style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
It is not essential to have wudoo’ for sujood al-tilaawah, according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions, and there is no salaam or takbeer when coming up from it, according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430142728706_2069" style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
It is prescribed to say takbeer when prostrating, because evidence to that effect is proven in the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him). </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430142728706_2041" style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
But if the sujood al-tilaawah is done during prayer, then it is obligatory to say takbeer when going down and when coming up, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to do that in every movement of the prayer, and he said: “Pray as you have seen me praying.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari in his <i>Saheeh</i>, 595). The same dhikr and du’aa’s are prescribed in sujood al-tilaawah as in the prostration during prayer, because of the general meaning of the ahaadeeth concerning that. Among these du’aa’s are: </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<i>Allaahumma laka sajadtu wa bika aamantu wa laka aslamtu, sajada wajhi lilladhi khalaqahu wa sawwarahu wa shaqqa sam’ahu wa basarahu bi hawlihi wa quwwatihi, tabaarak Allaahu ahsan al-khaaliqeen</i> (O Allaah, unto You I have prostrated and in You I have believed, and unto You I have submitted. My face has prostrated before Him Who created it and fashioned it, and brought forth its faculties of hearing and seeing by His Might and Power. Blessed is Allah, the Best of creators). </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430142728706_2042" style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
This was narrated by Muslim in his <i>Saheeh</i>, 1290 from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him); he said that he used to say this dhikr during the prostration of prayer, according to the hadeeth of ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him). </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430142728706_2068" style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
We have mentioned above that it is prescribed to say the same in sujood al-tilaawah as in the prostration in prayer. It was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to make du’aa’ when he did sujood al-tilaawah, and he would say:  </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430142728706_2044" style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
“<i id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430142728706_2043">Allaahumma aktub li biha ‘indaka ajran wa’mhu ‘anni biha wizran waj’alha li ‘indaka dukhran wa taqabbalha minni kama taqabbaltaha min ‘abdika Dawood</i> (O Allaah, record for me a reward for this (prostration), and remove from me a sin. Save it for me and accept it from me just as You accepted it from Your slave Dawood).” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 528). </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
What is obligatory is to say “<i>Subhaana Rabbiy al-A’laa</i> (Glory be to my Lord Most High), as is obligatory during the prostration of prayer. Any additional du’aa’ or dhikr is mustahabb. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430142728706_2045" style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Sujood al-tilaawah, whether during prayer or outside of it, is Sunnah, not obligatory, because evidence to that effect was narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), in the hadeeth of Zayd ibn Thaabit and in the hadeeth of ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him). </div>

Imaam Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in his Tafseer of <i id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430043407004_3605">Aayat al-Kursiy</i> from <i>Soorat al-Baqarah</i>:</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430043407004_3575" style="background-color: white; color: #7c691b; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
 This is <i>Aayat al-Kursiy</i>, which has a high status. It was reported in a saheeh hadeeth from the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that it is the greatest aayah in the Book of Allaah… It was narrated from Ubayy, i.e., Ubayy ibn Ka’b that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked him which aayah in the Book of Allaah was the greatest. He said, “Allaah and His Messenger know best.” He repeated it several times, then he said, “<i>Aayat al-Kursiy</i>.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “Congratulations upon your knowledge O Abu’l-Mundhir. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430043407004_3606" style="background-color: white; color: #7c691b; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
 It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “In <i>Soorat al-Baqaraah</i> there is an aayah which is the best of all the aayahs of the Qur’aan. It is never recited in a house but the Shaytaan leaves: Aayat al-Kursiy.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #7c691b; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
 It was narrated in a <i>marfoo’</i> report that Abu Umaamah said: “The greatest name of Allaah, which if He is called by it, He responds, is in three (soorahs): <i>Soorat al-Baqarah</i>, <i>Aal ‘Imraan</i> and <i>Ta-Ha</i>.” Hishaam, i.e., Ibn ‘Ammaar, the khateeb of Damascus, said: “In al-Baqarah, it is <i>‘Allaah! Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exist’  [al-Baraqah 2:255 – interpretation of the meaning]</i>. In Aal ‘Imraan it is <i>‘</i><i>Alif-Laam-Meem. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur’aan, and none but Allaah (Alone) knows their meanings.] Allaah! Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyoom (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists)’ [Aal ‘Imraan3:1-2 – interpretation of the meaning]</i>. And in Ta-Ha it is <i>‘And (all) faces shall be humbled before (Allaah), Al-Hayyul-Qayyoom (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists)’ [Ta-Ha 20:111]</i>.”</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430043407004_3608" style="background-color: white; color: #7c691b; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
 Concerning the virtue of reciting this aayah after the prescribed prayers, it was narrated that Abu Umaamah said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever recites <i>Aayat al-Kursiy</i> immediately after each prescribed prayer, there will be nothing standing between him and his entering Paradise except death.” This is how it was narrated by al-Nasaa’i in <i>al-Yawm wa’l-Laylah</i>, from al-Hasan ibn Bishr. It was also narrated by Ibn Hibbaan in his <i>Saheeh</i> from Muhammad ibn Humayr, who is al-Homsi, and is also one of the men of al-Bukhaari. The isnaad meets the conditions of al-Bukhaari.</div>
