Hazrat Zaid bin Aslam narrates that a boy recited a verse of prostration before the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). He waited for the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to perform the prostration. When he did not prostrate, the boy said, "O Messenger of Allah! Is there not a prostration in this surah?" He replied, "There is indeed a prostration in this surah. However, in this matter, you were our leader. If you had prostrated, we would have prostrated as well."

Hazrat Saleem bin Hanzalah says that I recited Surah Bani Isra'il before Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). When I reached the verse of prostration, Hazrat Abdullah said, "Recite it, you are our leader in this."

Hazrat Qais says that Hazrat Mujahid used to recite the verse of prostration from Surah Bani Isra'il and some part after it, and then he would perform ruku (bowing).

Hazrat Rabi' bin Khuthaym says that if the prostration (sajdah) is at the end of the surah, then if you wish, you may perform bowing (ruku'), and if you wish, you may perform prostration (sajdah). Because bowing is with prostration.
