Praise be to Allaah.
There is no specific du’aa’ narrated in the ahaadeeth for
sujood al-shukr, hence the scholars said that what is to be said in sujood
al-shukr is the same tasbeeh and du’aa’ as are said when prostrating in
prayer. So one should say Subhaana Rabbiy al-A’laa (Glory be to my
Lord Most High), Allaahumma laka sajadtu wa bika aamantu wa laka aslamtu,
sajada wajhi lillahi khalaqahu wa sawwarahu wa shaqqa sam’ahu wa basarahu,
tabaaraka Allaah ahsan ul-khaaliqeen (O Allaah, unto You I prostrate, in
You I believe and to You I submit. My face has prostrated to the One who
created and formed it, and gave it hearing and sight. Blessed be Allaah, the
best of creators). Then he should make du’aa’ as he likes.
Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: the
description, rulings and conditions of sujood al-shukr are the same as those
for sujood al-tilaawah (prostration required when reciting certain verses of
Qur’aan). (al-Mughni, 2/372). And he said concerning sujood
al-tilaawah: he should say in this prostration what he says in the
prostration during prayer. (al-Mughni, 2/362).
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
“Sujood al-shukr is done in response to a calamity that is averted or a
blessing which come to a person. It is like sujood al-tilaawah outside
prayer. Some of the scholars said that wudoo’ and takbeer is required, and
some said that only the first takbeer is required. Then he should fall down
in prostration, and make du’aa’ after saying “Subhaana Rabbiy al-A’laa
(Glory be to my Lord Most High).”

And Allaah knows best. May Allaah send blessings and peace
upon our Prophet Muhammad.
