اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَخْرٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ قُسَيْطٍ ، عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، بِمَعْنَاهُ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : كَانَ زَيْدٌ الْإِمَامَ فَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ فِيهَا .
This tradition has also been transmitted by Zaid bin Thabit through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. Abu Dawud said: Zaid was imam (in a prayer) and he did not make prostration.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1405. Commentary: The meaning of Imam Abu Dawood rahimahullah's statement is this: Since Hazrat Zaid radi Allahu anhu was reciting (the Qur'an), he was, in effect, acting as the imam. When the imam omitted the prostration (sajdah), the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, being a listener, also omitted it. And Allah knows best. (Awn al-Ma'bood)
