The is weak in its chain of narration () and text (matn). Amir ibn Khidash al-Naysaburi was the only one to narrate it, and he was known for his objectionable narrations (manakir). He narrated it from Umar ibn Harun al-Balkhi, who was abandoned (matruk) and accused (mutahham). Furthermore, it contradicts authentic Ahadith that prohibit reciting the Quran during prostration, therefore it is not permissible to act upon it.
