Going from standing to sajdah does not require sitting first, it is just that several hadiths describe that your knees touch the ground before your hands do, but it's one fluid motion, you don't make "iftirash" sitting before the sajdah. One hadith by Abu Huraira describes what you might have seen, which is dropping and making the hands touch the floor before the knees, "when you prostate, don't kneel the way a camel does, put your hands before your knees" however Abu Tharr and many other old time scholars say the hadith despite being authentic seems to have been reversed in prnounciation, especially that they have been discussing the description of a camel sitting and it DOES put their front down before the back when kneeling, others want it at face value. This is a matter of great scholarly work the likes of which we are not up to.

Anyway, for coming back up, again there is only one hadith that describes the prophet to sit before standing up. Many scholars including Ibn Taymeyya says it stands alone as an observation and the prophet at the time of the narrator was old, it could be to rest. Other descriptions of the prayer say there is not sitting and it's not part of the movements of the prayers. So both ways are acceptable, whether to stand from sajdah (when there is no tashahhud of course) or to sit and then stand, it's up to you.

God knows best
 
So when you go into sujdah, your knees should touch the floor before your hands? Or the hands should touch the floor before the knees? Sorry i got abit confused!
 
Okay that's how i was doing it now so i'm okay. This has speeded up my namaaz abit, made it lighter and easier to pray. Thankyou for your help everyone.
 
I have also always been putting my kneels first on the floor before my hands. I am glad that it's been validated.
