Sahih al-Bukhari 4807

Translation

I asked Mujahid regarding the prostration in Surat Saʿd. He said, "I asked Ibn ʿAbbas, 'What evidence makes you prostrate?' He said, "Don't you recite:--'And among his progeny, David and Solomon..(6.84). Those are they whom Allah had guided. So follow their guidance.' (6.90) So David was the one of those prophets whom Prophet (Muhammad) was ordered to follow. David prostrated, so Messenger of Allah ﷺ (Muhammad) performed this prostration too.'
