Prolonging in Prostration

Question
Is it true that there are hadiths from the Prophet -peace be upon him- that prohibit prolonging in prostration?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The prohibition regarding prolonging the prayer includes the prohibition against prolonging the prostration; therefore, the scholars have stated that it is disliked for the imam to exceed five times in glorification unless he has sought permission from the congregation. In contrast, the individual is the master of himself and may increase as he wishes. And God knows best.
