EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's practice of prostrating himself while reciting certain verses from the Quran. It is reported that when he recited "When the heaven burst asunder" and "Read in the name of Thy Lord", he would bow down in prostration. This shows us how important it was for him to show reverence and humility before Allah, even when reading His words. It also serves as an example for us to follow, so that we can learn to be humble and reverent when engaging with Allah's words.

The act of prostration is a form of worship known as salat, which Muslims perform five times a day in order to connect with Allah and express their gratitude for His blessings. By following this example set by our beloved Prophet, we can strive to make our salat more meaningful and sincere by showing humility before Allah through prostration during our prayers.
