Masa'il Harb al-Kirmani: Book of Purification (Taharah) and Prayer (Salah) - Edited by al-Surayyi'
Volume 1 · Page 402Chapter: If one recites the verse of prostration, prostrates, then stands up; they should recite something, then bow

Translation · EN

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Chapter: If he recites the prostration verse and prostrates, then stands up; he should recite something, then bow.

  • Abu al-Qasim Isa ibn Muhammad narrated to us, he said: Harb ibn Ismail al-Hanzali narrated to me, he said:

  • I heard Ishaq say: "If a man recites the prostration verse, and prostrates for it, then stands up and bows, it is more beloved to me that he recites something. I hope that it suffices him even if he does not recite anything. Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) recited [Surah] An-Najm in the dawn prayer, prostrated for it, then stood up, recited [Surah] Az-Zalzalah, then bowed. This is what we rely upon. Even if he does not do so, it is permissible, provided he had recited the Fatihat al-Kitab before the prostration, though he is at fault for not reciting after raising his head from the prostration."

980 - Abdullah ibn Siwar narrated to us, from Jarir ibn Hazim, he said: I heard Muhammad ibn Sirin say: "I was informed that Uthman ibn Affan, when he would recite Surah an-Najm and reach the prostration [verse], he would prostrate, then stand up and recite: {When the earth is shaken with its [final] earthquake}, or something similar, then he would bow and prostrate."

981 - He said: "And I was informed that Ibn Mas'ud, when he recited it to the people, would prostrate; and when he recited it in prayer, he would bow and prostrate."

982 - "And I was informed that Abdullah ibn Umar, when the recitation ended with it, would bow and prostrate, and if he wished to recite something after it, he would prostrate, then stand up, bow, and prostrate."

Chapter: Supplication in the Prostration of the Quran

  • And I heard Ishaq say: "If he recites the prostration verse in the obligatory prayer, then if he wishes, he may supplicate in it with every [supplication] that is called a supplication, provided it is from what has come in the traditions (Athar); such as what is mentioned from David the Prophet (peace be upon him): 'My face prostrates, rubbing itself in the dust, before my Creator, and it is most deserving of it.' And as has come from the Prophet (peace be upon him), that he said: 'My face has prostrated to the One Who created it and fashioned it, and perfected its form, and split its hearing and its sight, by His power and strength. Blessed is Allah, the Best of Creators.' This is what we rely upon, because Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to say this in the prostrations of the obligatory prayers. Therefore, the best that can be chosen for the prostration of the Quran is what has been authenticated from the Prophet (peace be upon him) that he used to supplicate with it in the obligatory and supererogatory prayers, along with what has been mentioned from the Prophet (peace be upon him) that he used to say that as well in the prostration of the Quran."
