Sujud (Prostration)

Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), said:
"The closest any worshipper can be to his Lord is while he is in prostration, so increase your duas in it." [Muslim]

Ibn Abbas narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
"I have been prohibited from reciting the Quran while in ruku or sujud, so during ruku, glorify your Lord, and during sujud, exert yourself in making dua, for it is very likely that you will be responded to." [Muslim]
