1423. Ma'dân bin Abu Talhah Al-Ya'muri said: "I met Thawbân and said to him: 'Tell me a Hadith that Allâh may benefit me thereby.' But he remained silent. Then I said the same and he remained silent. That happened three times. Then he said to me: 'You should prostrate to Allâh; for I heard the Messenger of Allâh say: "No one prostrates to Allāh but Allāh will raise him one degree in status thereby and will erase one of his sins." Ma'dān said: "Then I met Abu' Dardā' and asked him the same question, and he gave a similar answer." (Sahih)

1423 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ الْمُعَيْطِيُّ، حَدَّثَهُ مَعْدَانُ بْنُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمُرِيُّ، قَالَ: لَقِيتُ ثَوْبَانَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: حَدِّثْنِي حَدِيثًا عَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَنْفَعَنِي بِهِ، قَالَ: فَسَكَتَ، ثُمَّ عُدْتُ فَقُلْتُ مِثْلَهَا، فَسَكَتَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَقَالَ لِي: عَلَيْكَ بِالسُّجُودِ لِلَّهِ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَسْجُدُ لِلَّهِ سَجْدَةً إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً، وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً» قَالَ مَعْدَانُ: ثُمَّ لَقِيتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ

Commentary

The object of 'prostrating a great deal' could be achieved through offering Sunnah and Nafil prayers as well through performing a good number of prostrations at times of gratitude and of recitation of the Noble Qur'an.
