Sunan an-Nasai 1139 (Book 12, Hadith 111) #15747
The Benefits of Prostration

SUMMARY: Prostrating to Allah (SWT) will raise one's status and erase one's sins.

Ma'dan bin Talha Al-Ya'muri said: "I met Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah and said: "Tell me of an action that will benefit me or gain me admittance to Paradise'. He remained silent for a while, then he turned to me and said: 'You should prostrate, because I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "There is no one who prostrated once to Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, except that Allah will raise him one degree in status thereby, and erase one sin thereby". Ma'dan said: "Then I met Abu Ad-Darda' and asked him the same question I had asked Thawban". He said to me: "You should prostrate, for I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "There is no one who prostrates once to Allah (SWT), but Allah (SWT) will raise him one degree thereby and erase one sin thereby".
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمَّارٍ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ الْمُعَيْطِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَعْدَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمَرِيُّ، قَالَ لَقِيتُ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ يَنْفَعُنِي أَوْ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي مَلِيًّا ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَىَّ فَقَالَ عَلَيْكَ بِالسُّجُودِ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَسْجُدُ لِلَّهِ سَجْدَةً إِلاَّ رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهَا دَرَجَةً وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ مَعْدَانُ ثُمَّ لَقِيتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَمَّا سَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ ثَوْبَانَ فَقَالَ لِي عَلَيْكَ بِالسُّجُودِ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ مَا مِنْ عَبْدِ يَسْجُدُ لِلَّهِ سَجْدَةً إِلاَّ رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of prostrating to Allah (SWT). It is narrated by Ma'dan bin Talha Al-Ya'muri and Abu Ad-Darda'. When Ma'dan asked them what action would benefit him or gain him admittance to Paradise, they both said that he should prostrate. They both heard the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ say that whoever prostrates once to Allah (SWT) will be raised one degree in status and have one sin erased. This hadith teaches us that worshipping Allah through prayer can bring us closer to Him as well as help us erase our sins. It also shows us how important it is for Muslims to pray regularly in order for them to reap these rewards from Allah.
