Sunan Ibn Majah 1422 (Book 5, Hadith 620) #30774
Prostrating for Elevation and Erasure of Sins

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised Abu Fatimah to prostrate to Allah as it will raise his status and erase one of his sins.

It was narrated from Kathir bin Murrah that Abu Fatimah told him: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Tell me of a deed that I can adhere to and act upon.’ He said: "You should prostrate, for you will not prostrate to Allah but He will raise you in status one degree thereby and erase from you one sin".
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيَّانِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ ثَابِتِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا فَاطِمَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ، أَسْتَقِيمُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَعْمَلُهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ عَلَيْكَ بِالسُّجُودِ فَإِنَّكَ لاَ تَسْجُدُ لِلَّهِ سَجْدَةً إِلاَّ رَفَعَكَ اللَّهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً وَحَطَّ بِهَا عَنْكَ خَطِيئَةً
