1422. It was narrated from Kathir bin Murrah that Abu Fâtimah told him: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh! Tell me of a deed that I can adhere to and act upon.' He said: "You should prostrate, for you will not prostrate to Allâh but He will raise you in status one degree thereby and erase from you one sin." (Sahih)
1422 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيَّانِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ ثَابِتِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا فَاطِمَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَخْبِرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ أَسْتَقِيمُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَعْمَلُهُ، قَالَ: «عَلَيْكَ بِالسُّجُودِ؛ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَسْجُدُ لِلَّهِ سَجْدَةً إِلَّا رَفَعَكَ اللَّهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً، وَحَطَّ بِهَا عَنْكَ خَطِيئَةً»

All the actions in prayer are the means to achieve closeness to Allâh. Prostration, however, occupies a special place among all these, since it is the greatest manifestation of man's submissiveness to Allâh, which is the very essence of worship.
