Summary
According to the preferred view of the Shafi'i school, the prostration of recitation is a confirmed sunnah. If the same verse of prostration is repeated within one sitting, a single prostration is sufficient. If a person recites two different verses of prostration in one sitting, or the same verse in two different sittings, the prostration is to be performed twice. Someone repeating the recitation to memorise falls under the first case, so one prostration is sunnah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Adapun bagi orang yang mengulangi bacaannya bagi tujuan menghafal ia termasuk dalam keadaan yang pertama yang mana sunat baginya mengerjakan sekali sujud sahaja.
