The Prostration of Gratitude (Sujood Al-Shukr) and What to Say in it
وَ رَوَى جَهْمُ بْنُ أَبِي جَهْمٍ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ قَدْ سَجَدَ بَعْدَ اَلثَّلاَثِ اَلرَّكَعَاتِ مِنَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ رَأَيْتُكَ سَجَدْتَ بَعْدَ اَلثَّلاَثِ فَقَالَ «وَ رَأَيْتَنِي» فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَلاَ تَدَعْهَا فَإِنَّ اَلدُّعَاءَ فِيهَا مُسْتَجَابٌ.
Jahm ibn Abi Jahm narrated that he saw Imam Musa ibn Ja'far عليه السلام performing a prostration after the three rak'ahs of Maghrib prayer. He said: "May I be your ransom! I saw you prostrate after the three [rak'ahs]." Imam عليه السلام replied: "And you observed me doing that?" Jahm said: "Yes." The Imam عليه السلام then said: "Do not abandon it, for the supplication made during it is answered."
