The Prostration of Gratitude (Sujood Al-Shukr) and What to Say in it

Sa'd ibn Sa'd asked Imam al-Ridha عليه السلام about the prostration of gratitude (Sajdat al-Shukr). He said: “I see our companions prostrate once after the obligatory prayer and say that it is the prostration of gratitude.” Imam عليه السلام replied: “Gratitude is when Allah سبحانه وتعالى bestows a blessing upon His servant, and the servant says, ‘Glory be to the One who has subjected this to us, for we were not capable of it, and indeed to our Lord عز وجل, we will return. And all praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Lord عز وجل of the worlds.’”
