Chapter
43: The Virtue of Prostration and Encouragement to Do So.
Ma'dan b. Talha reported:
I met Thauban, the freed
slave of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and asked him to tell me about an act for
which, if I do it, Allah will admit me to Paradise, or I asked about the act
which was loved most by Allah. He gave no reply. I again asked and he gave no reply.
I asked him for the third time, and he said: I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
about that and he said: Make frequent prostrations before Allah, for you will
not make one prostration without raising you a degree because of it, and
removing a sin from you, because of it. Ma'dan said that then l met Abu
al-Darda' and when he asked him, he received a reply similar to that given by
Thauban. (Explaining

Rabi'a b. Ka'b said:
I was with Allah's
Messenger (ﷺ) one night. and I brought him water and what he required. He said
to me: Ask (anything you like). I said: I ask your company in Paradise. He (the
Holy Prophet) said: Or anything else besides it. I said: That is all (what I
require). He said: Then help me to achieve this for you by devoting yourself
often to prostration. (Explaining
