and here I always thought it was 14

*Q. If one reads a passage of the Qur’an that includes one of the 15 verses that require a prostration, or sujood, one must do the prostration and then rise to continue his recitation. But what is the procedure if one is reading Surah 96, Al-Alaq, in which the prostration verse is the last in the surah?

M.M.R. Yacoob

A. To start with, a prostration when we read these verses is recommended, i.e. a Sunnah, not an obligation. If one is reading the Qur’an and he goes through any of these **15 *verses without doing a prostration, he does badly but he commits no offense. He simply deprives himself of the reward of that prostration. The same applies in prayer…

It continues but not only the person asking the question writes it 15, also the religious scholar calls it 15 and leaves me to do a reality check whether it is 14 or 15 or perhaps a typo?

Imam Shafai has one extra Sajda-e-Tilawat.

Does it answer the question?

Re: and here I always thought it was 14

yep 3 imams (malik, abu hanifa, ahmed bin hanbal) believe there r 14, imam shaafi is of the view that another verse (i think the 4th last in the surah bani israeel or israa as some call it) is also a verse on which sajda is to be done....

aha, now that explains.
