قَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ : الْفَهْمُ فِي الْقَضَاءِ وَلا تُشْطِطْ سورة ص آية 22 لَا تُسْرِفْ وَاهْدِنَا إِلَى سَوَاءِ الصِّرَاطِ سورة ص آية 22 إِنَّ هَذَا أَخِي لَهُ تِسْعٌ وَتِسْعُونَ نَعْجَةً سورة ص آية 23 يُقَالُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ نَعْجَةٌ وَيُقَالُ لَهَا أَيْضًا شَاةٌ وَلِيَ نَعْجَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَقَالَ أَكْفِلْنِيهَا سورة ص آية 23 مِثْلُ وَكَفَّلَهَا زَكَرِيَّا سورة آل عمران آية 37ضَمَّهَا وَعَزَّنِي سورة ص آية 23 غَلَبَنِي صَارَ أَعَزَّ مِنِّي أَعْزَزْتُهُ جَعَلْتُهُ عَزِيزًا فِي الْخِطَابِ سورة ص آية 23 يُقَالُ الْمُحَاوَرَةُ قَالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعْجَتِكَ إِلَى نِعَاجِهِ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْخُلَطَاءِ سورة ص آية 24 الشُّرَكَاءِ لَيَبْغِي إِلَى قَوْلِهِ أَنَّمَا فَتَنَّاهُ سورة ص آية 24 قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : اخْتَبَرْنَاهُ وَقَرَأَ عُمَرُ فَتَّنَّاهُ بِتَشْدِيدِ التَّاءِ فَاسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّهُ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعًا وَأَنَابَ سورة ص آية 24 .
Mujahid said that «فصل الخطاب» means understanding of judgment. «ولا تشطط» means do not be unjust and guide us to the straight path. "This man is my brother; he has ninety-nine «نعجة» (ewes)." The word «نعجة» is also used for a woman, and «نعجة» is also said for a goat. "And I have only one ewe, so he says, 'Give it to me as well.'" This is like «كفلها زكرياء», meaning «ضمها». "And he overpowers me in speech." Dawud (peace be upon him) said, "He has certainly wronged you by asking for your ewe to add to his ewes, and indeed many partners oppress one another." Up to Allah the Exalted's statement «أنما فتناه». Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that («فتناه» means) We tested them. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to recite it with a shaddah on the letter ta: «فتناه». "So they sought forgiveness from their Lord, and they bowed and turned in repentance."

Narrated Mujahid: I asked Ibn `Abbas, "Should we perform a prostration on reciting Surat-Sa`d?" He recited (the Sura) including: 'And among his progeny, David, Solomon..(up to)...so follow their guidance (6.84-91) And then he said, "Your Prophet is amongst those people who have been ordered to follow them (i.e. the preceding apostles).

Hadith Commentary:
Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has also included this hadith in the Book of Tafsir.
In that narration, it is mentioned that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam performed prostration (sajdah) in Surah Sad.
The command given to our Noble Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to follow the previous messengers means that the beliefs and fundamental principles (aqa'id wa usul) are the same for all prophets, although there may be some differences in subsidiary matters (furu'at).

Hadith Commentary:
➊
In one narration, it is mentioned that when Dawud (alayhis salam) performed prostration at that time, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) also performed prostration in this surah.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Tafsir, Hadith: 4807)
In another narration, it is mentioned that Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) himself performed prostration in this surah.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Tafsir, Hadith: 4806)
That is, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) performed prostration in agreement with Dawud (alayhis salam).
Allah, the Exalted, accepted the repentance of Dawud (alayhis salam), so he performed prostration as an expression of gratitude, and we also perform prostration as an expression of gratitude.
➋
It should be clear that following the Messengers means that all the noble Prophets (alayhimus salam) are equal in matters of creed and fundamentals, although there is some difference in subsidiary matters.
And Allah knows best.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
➊
In one narration, it is explicitly mentioned that Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) recited: ﴿وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ دَاوُدَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ﴾ "And among his descendants were Dawud and Sulayman (alayhimas-salam)."
Hazrat Dawud (alayhis-salam) is among those whom the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was commanded to follow. So, since Hazrat Dawud (alayhis-salam) performed prostration (sajdah), in following him, Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), also performed prostration.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Tafsir, Hadith: 4807)
➋
The relevant passage is as follows, in which the prostration of Hazrat Dawud (alayhis-salam) is mentioned:
"And Dawud (alayhis-salam) realized that We had tested him, so he sought forgiveness from his Lord and fell down in prostration (sajdah) and turned (in repentance) to Allah." (Sad: 38:24)
We will further clarify this in Hadith 4807, inshaAllah.
