A verse of prostration at the end of a surah

Alqamah, al-Aswad, Masruq and Amr bin Shurahbil used to say: If the prostration is at the end of the surah, bowing is sufficient.

Ibrahim said: When the prostration is at the end of the surah, bowing is sufficient for you.

Ibn Tawus said: Tawus used to recite Surah Tanzil al-Sajdah in the Isha prayer and bow in place of the prostration.

Al-Sha'bi was asked: "If a man recites a surah at the end of which there is a prostration of recitation, what should he do?" He said: "If he wishes, he may prostrate and then stand and recite what comes after it; and if he wishes, he may bow."

Utbah bin Qays said: Mujahid used to recite the verse of prostration in Surah Bani Isra'il and some of what follows it, and then bow.

Al-Rabi' bin Khuthaym said: If the prostration is at the end of the surah, then if you wish, bow, and if you wish, prostrate, for the bowing is joined with the prostration.

Abd al-Rahman bin Yazid said: We asked Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): "If a verse of prostration is at the end of a surah, should one bow or prostrate?" He said: "If there is nothing between you and the prostration except the bowing, then it is close."
