Hadeeth text
Abu Bakrah reported: Whenever the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) received good news, he would fall down in prostration out of gratitude to Allah.
Explanation
Prostration of gratitude has been made permissible on the occasion of receiving a new blessing. However, it is not permissible in case of constant blessings such as the blessings of Islam, health, richness, and the like. This is because the blessings of Allah are perpetual and uninterrupted. Had prostration been made permissible for such type of constant blessings, then one would have spent his whole life in prostration. Rather, expressing gratitude for such blessings should be by worshiping and obeying Allah, the Almighty.
