Chapter on the prostration of recitation
There are fourteen known prostrations; the first in Ḥajj specifically.
Among them is the “ṣād” prostration.
It is obligatory on the reciter and the hearer; obligation is on delay; it is not obligatory on one for whom prayer is not obligatory nor its make-up—such as menstruant, postpartum, child, insane, or disbeliever.
It is obligatory on whoever hears it from them.
If heard from a parrot or sleeper, it is said: not obligatory.
It is obligatory on the deaf reciter.
If the follower recites it behind the imām neither he nor the imām prostrates it in prayer or after.
The prayer prostration is not made up outside prayer.
Whoever recites a verse of prostration and does not prostrate until he prays in the same session then repeats it and prostrates—both [prostrations] drop; if he prostrated for the first before prayer he prostrates for the second in prayer.
When session and verse coincide they overlap; when either differs they multiply; the session is not broken by mere standing, nor one or two steps, nor one or two bites.
A moving ship is like a house.
If he repeats it on a moving mount: if in prayer they coincide; if not in prayer they multiply; if he recites it on a mount, gesturing suffices.
It is like the prayer prostration without tashahhud or salām.
