How to perform Sajda when reaching Ayah where sajda has to be performed

Question: My question is how to perform Sajda when reaching Ayah where sajda has to be performed?  Please describe full action.

Answer: The minimum is to simply make sujuud. The best is to stand up, say Allahu akbar, make sujuud, make tasbiih while in sujuud, and then say Allahu'Akbar and get up standing again before sitting.

 

This is outside prayer. If inside the prayer, then an extra rukuu^ or sujuud would do. Also, if one made rukuu^ and sujuud of the prayer before having added more than three aayas, then the rukuu^ of the prayer would suffice if one makes the intention, and the sujuud would suffice even without intention.
