Prostration while Reciting the Qur’an - Section 1

وَعَن ابْن عَبَّاس قَالَ: (سَجْدَةُ (ص) لَيْسَ مِنْ عَزَائِمِ السُّجُودِ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يسْجد فِيهَا وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: قَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ: قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: أَأَسْجُدُ فِي (ص) فَقَرَأَ: (وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ دَاوُدَ وَسليمَان) حَتَّى أَتَى (فبهداهم اقتده) فَقَالَ: نَبِيُّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِمَّنْ أَمر أَن يَقْتَدِي بهم. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ

Translation

Ibn ‘Abbas said: A prostration when reciting Sad (Al-Qur’an; 38) is not one of those which are divinely commanded, but I have seen the Prophet prostrate himself when it was recited. In a version Mujahid said that he asked Ibn ‘Abbas whether he should prostrate himself when reciting Sad, whereupon he recited, “And among his progeny David and Solomon... so copy the guidance they received,” (Al-Qur’an; 6:84-90) and said, “Your prophet was one of those who were commanded to copy them.” Bukhari transmitted it.
