It is where Daawood عليه السلام prostrated out of repentance and where the prophet ﷺ prostrated out of thankfulness:

قَالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعْجَتِكَ إِلَىٰ نِعَاجِهِ ۖ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْخُلَطَاءِ لَيَبْغِي بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَقَلِيلٌ مَا هُمْ ۗ وَظَنَّ دَاوُودُ أَنَّمَا فَتَنَّاهُ فَاسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّهُ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعًا وَأَنَابَ

Dawud (David)] said (immediately without listening to the opponent): “He has wronged you in demanding your ewe in addition to his ewes. And, verily, many partners oppress one another, except those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and they are few.” And Dawud (David) guessed that We have tried him and he sought Forgiveness of his Lord, and he fell down prostrate and turned (to Allah) in repentance. [Surat Sad:24]

2) In Suratun-Najm:

(فَاسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ وَاعْبُدُوا ۩)

So fall you down in prostration to Allah, and worship Him (Alone). [Surat An-Najm 62]

3) In Suratul-Inshiqaaq:

(وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩)

And when the Quran is recited to them, they fall not prostrate. [Surat Al-Inshiqaq 21]

4) In Surah ‘iqra’ (Al-‘Alaq):

(كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِبْ ۩)

Nay! (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him))! Do not obey him (Abu Jahl). Fall prostrate and draw near to Allah. [Surat Al-Alaq 19]

The prophet ﷺ used to lead the people for fajr on the day of jumu’ah with suratus sajda and it has not been authenticated that he prostrated in it.
