Description of the Prayer from Its Beginning to Its End

وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ: فِي سَجْدَةِ اَلْعَزَائِمِ، « لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ حَقّاً حَقّاً لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ إِيمَاناً وَ تَصْدِيقاً لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ عُبُودِيَّةً وَ رِقّاً سَجَدْتُ لَكَ يَا رَبِّ تَعَبُّداً وَ رِقّاً لاَ مُسْتَنْكِفاً وَ لاَ مُسْتَكْبِراً بَلْ أَنَا عَبْدٌ ذَلِيلٌ خَائِفٌ مُسْتَجِيرٌ » ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ.
It has been narrated that in the prostration of the obligatory verses of prostration (Sajdat al-‘Azā’im), one should say: La ilaha illa Allah haqqan haqqan, la ilaha illa Allah imanan wa tasdeeqan, la ilaha illa Allah ‘uboodiyyatan wa riqqan. Sajadtu laka ya Rabbi ta‘abbudan wa riqqan, la mustankifan wa la mustakbiran, bal ana ‘abdon dhaleelun kha’ifun mustajeer “There is no god but Allah سبحانه وتعالى, truly and genuinely; there is no god but Allah سبحانه وتعالى in faith and affirmation; there is no god but Allah سبحانه وتعالى in servitude and subjugation. I prostrate to You, my Lord عز وجل, in devotion and humility, without reluctance or arrogance, but as a humble, fearful, and seeking servant.” Then, he should raise his head and say “Allahu Akbar” (God is Great).
