حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي سَمِينَةَ ح وحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْبَزَّارُ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ بُنْدَارٌ قَالَا ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ثنا النَّهَّاسُ بْنُ قَهْمٍ ثنا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ
أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ لَمَّا قَدِمَ الشَّامَ رَأَى الْيَهُودَ يَسْجُدُونَ لِأَحْبَارِهِمْ وَعُلَمَائِهِمْ وَرَأَى النَّصَارَى يَسْجُدُونَ لِأَسَاقِفَتِهِمْ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَجَدَ لَهُ فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا يَا مُعَاذُ؟» فَقَالَ إِنِّي قَدِمْتُ الشَّامَ فَرَأَيْتُ الْيَهُودَ يَسْجُدُونَ لِعُلَمَائِهِمْ وَأَحْبَارِهِمْ وَرَأَيْتُ النَّصَارَى يَسْجُدُونَ لِقِسِّيسِيهِمْ وَرُهْبَانَهُمْ فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالُوا تَحِيَّةَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فَقَالَ ﷺ «كَذَبُوا عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ كَمَا حَرَّفُوا كِتَابَهُمْ لَوْ أَمَرْتُ أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا»

✧ When Mu'adh b. Jabal came to Syria, he saw the Jews prostrating to their rabbis and scholars, and he saw the Christians prostrating to their bishops. When he came to the Messenger of God ﷺ, he prostrated to him. He said, "What is this, O Mu'adh?" He said, "I came to Syria and saw the Jews prostrating to their scholars and rabbis, and I saw the Christians prostrating to their priests and monks. I asked, 'What is this?' They said, 'The greeting of the prophets.'" The Prophet ﷺ said, "They lied about their prophets, just as they distorted their book. If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone, I would command the woman to prostrate to her husband."
