The for the prostration of recitation (Sajdat al-Tilawah) is to say: "My face has prostrated to the One who created it and fashioned its hearing and sight by His power and strength." It is permissible to add: "So blessed be Allah, the best of creators." It is also permissible to say: "Glorified is my Lord, the Most High," or what one says in the prostration of prayer.
