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

975. hadíth

وَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «أَوْحَى اَللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وتَعَالَى إِلَى مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «أَ تَدْرِي لِمَ اِصْطَفَيْتُكَ بِكَلاَمِي دُونَ خَلْقِي» قَالَ مُوسَى لاَ يَا رَبِّ قَالَ «يَا مُوسَى إِنِّي قَلَّبْتُ عِبَادِي ظَهْراً وَ بَطْناً فَلَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهِمْ أَحَداً أَذَلَّ نَفْساً لِي مِنْكَ يَا مُوسَى إِنَّكَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ وَضَعْتَ خَدَّيْكَ عَلَى اَلتُّرَابِ».

Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s) said: "Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, revealed to Musa (a.s), son of Imran (a.s): 'Do you know why I have chosen you to speak to Me over all of My creation?' Musa (a.s) replied: 'No, my Lord (azj).' Allah (swt) said: 'O’ Musa (a.s), I searched My servants thoroughly and did not find anyone who humbled themselves before Me more than you. When you pray, you place your cheeks on the ground.'"
