a brother asked about this on x. i answered in a thread - posting here: haskafi in al-durr / p.105: an important solution for all serious matters: in 'al-kafi': it is said that one who recites all the verses of prostration in one sitting, and prostrates for each of them - then Allah ta'ala will suffice it for any serious matter that troubles him. apparently, this means - recite all of them together and then do [fourteen] prostrations; but it could also mean that one prostrates after recitation of each verse, and it is not disliked [makruh] as mentioned earlier. [/end transl from al-durr al-mukhtar, p105] === most fiqh works discuss whether it is disliked [makruh] to recite all the verses of prostration together in one sitting. some ulama [like ibn humam in fat'h] argued that it is disliked becz it violates the order of the quran [naZm] as these verses are taken from various places --- there are 2 ways one can read all the verses of prostration (VoP) in one sitting. you recite first verse, do the sajdah - 2nd, do sajdah, and so on. this cannot count as violating the order [nazm] of the Quran. --- an overwhelming number of fiqh imams, including among shafiyis and malikis - that reciting all the VoP in one sitting [majlis] is permissible without any dislikability. imam nawawi in tibyan mentioned this as well. --- the second way is to recite all the verses one after the other and then do the 14 sujud. it is this method that some fuqaha were cautious about. because on the face of it, this is like 'joining' verses from various places and stringing them together as one, violating the order --- ibn abidin cites ramli quoting maqdisi that - doing so would be like creating a new passage by stringing together various aayats from various surahs. therefore haskafi quoting nahr that doing sujud after each VoP avoids this scenario hence, "not makruh." -- because there is no joining [waSl] and there is a pause [faSl] after each ayah [when one does sujud]. therefore [acc. haskafi] the first scenario is not makruh; but the second is [reciting all aayah together] is makruh ----- ibn abidin responds that it is common practice to recite aayatul kursi and muawwazatayn after salat; both from different places. if reciting different verses from different places in one sitting was makruh, then this should also be makruh & "stringing together various aayah" ----- [Damm al-aayah ila'l aayah]. every musalli recites different verses and 'joins' with the fatihah. if this constituted 'violation of order' [taghyir al nazm], it should be makruh as well - but it is not. ==== the best answer is in sharh munyah: changing the composition occurs when one drops a few words from an aayah or a verse from the surah; not by mentioning a word or verse separately ---- conclusion: the statement from al-kafi (mentioned by haskafi in durr) is to be taken on the face of it and both methods of reciting all the VoPs in one sitting are allowed without dislikability.
