* In all, fourteen (14) places of prostration are agreed upon by all Muslim religious scholars and Ulamā, while Imām Shāfi'ī suggests prostration at this place (22:77).

The following invocation is usually recited during the prostration:
Sajada wajhiya lilladhī khalaqahu. wa shaqqa sam`ahu wa baṣarahu biḥawlihi wa quwwatihi. Fatabārakallāhu 'aḥsanul-khāliqīn. (At-Tirmidhi 2/474, Ahmad 6/30, and Al-Hakim Hisnul Muslim 50)

سَجَـدَ وَجْهـي للَّـذي خَلَقَـهُ وَشَقَّ سَمْـعَـهُ وَبَصَـرَهُ بِحَـوْلِـهِ وَقُـوَّتِهِ ﴿فتَبـارَكَ اللهُ أَحْسَـنُ الخـالِقيـن

I have prostrated my face to the One Who created it, and gave it hearing and sight by His might and His power. Glory is to Allah, the Best of creators.
