Ibn Juraij reported: I asked 'Ata': What do you recite when you are in a state of bowing (in prayer)? He said: Hallowed be Thou, and with Thy praise, there is no god but Thou. Son of Abd Mulaika narrated to me on the anthority of 'A'isha (who reported): I missed one night the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (from his bed). I thought that he might have gone to one of his other wives. I searched for him and then came back and (found him) in a state of bowing, or prostration, saying: Hallowed be Thou and with Thy praise; there is no god but Thou. I said: With my father mayest thou be ransomed and with my mother. I was thinking of (another) affair, whereas you are (occupied) in another one.

He gave no reply. I again asked and he gave no reply. I asked him for the third time, and he said: I asked Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) about that and he said: Make frequent prostrations before Allah, for you will not make one prostration without raising you a degree because of it, and removing a sin from you, because of it. Ma'dan said that then lie met Abu al-Darda' and when he asked him, he received a reply similar to that given by Thauban.
