سَاجِدًا in prostration
This is a participle, a verb turned into a describing word, and its -an ending puts it in the manner slot: it tells HOW the falling happened, in a state of prostration. English would add 'in' or '-ing'; Arabic instead uses this accusative shape to attach the manner straight onto the action.

سَاجِدًا prostrate
A participle, a verb made into a describing word, with its -an ending placing it in the manner slot: it states HOW the falling happened, in prostration. Arabic uses this accusative shape to fasten the manner directly onto the action where English would add 'in' or an '-ing' phrase.
فأنطلق، فأتي تحت العرش، فأقع ساجداً لربي، ثم يفتح الله علي من محامده،
So I set out, I come beneath the Throne and fall prostrate before my Lord; then God opens to me some of His praiseworthy attributes.
ساجداً prostrate
A descriptive word in the object form used to tell the manner of the falling, 'falling (while) prostrate'; the special ending is what marks it as describing how, not as a thing acted on. It colours the verb.
