The Sunnah
It was reported that when the Prophet ﷺ received news that pleased him, or was given glad tidings, he would fall down in prostration, thanking Allah.
Source: Sunan Abi Dawud 2774
The Science
A single prostration of thanks upon receiving good news is a humble, instant way to attribute every blessing to Allah and guard the heart against pride.
How to Practice
1
When you receive a blessing or good news, go down into one prostration
2
It does not require wudu or facing the qiblah, though both are better
3
In sujud, praise Allah and thank Him for the favor
4
Rise and continue, with a heart turned to the Giver of the blessing
Muslims revived this Sunnah
