What is Sajda Ash Shukr and Salat Ash Shukr

Sajda Ash Shukr and Salat Ash Shukr

When you receive good news do Sajdah ash Shukr not Salat ash Shukr

Shaykh ibn Baaz رحمه الله

To my knowledge, there is NO MENTION in any Hadith regarding Salat-ul-Shukr. However, there are narrated Hadiths dealing with Sujud-ul-Shukr (Prostration of Thankfulness to Allah)...

One may also perform Sujud-ul-Shukr upon receiving glad tidings of the birth of a new baby or upon hearing the glad tidings of Muslims' victory over their enemy or any other pleasant and good news. 

In this case, one may also perform Sujud similar to that one performed in Salah, wherein one should say: "subhana Rabbiya al-Ala (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High)." One may invoke Allah in his Sujud (Prostration), celebrate His Praises and offer thanks to Him for the favor which He has conferred upon them. 

Whenever the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم heard of some glad tidings, he would prostrate himself in thankfulness to Allah. When Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq رضي الله عنه was informed of the glad tidings of the killing of Musaylimah (who falsely claimed to be a sent Prophet), he prostrated himself in thankfulness to Allah.

When Aly (may Allah be pleased with him) found Al-Mukhdaj among the victims of Al-Khawarij, he prostrated himself in thankfulness to Allah.
