Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 7650

وَعَنْ صُهَيْبٍ أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ لَمَّا قَدِمَ الشَّامَ رَأَى الْيَهُودَ يَسْجُدُونَ لِعُلَمَائِهِمْ وَأَحْبَارِهِمْ وَرَأَى النَّصَارَى يَسْجُدُونَ لِأَسَاقِفَتِهِمْ وَلِرُهْبَانِهِمْ وَفُقَهَائِهِمْ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - سَجَدَ لَهُ فَقَالَ : " مَا هَذَا يَا مُعَاذُ ؟ " قَالَ : إِنِّي قَدِمْتُ الشَّامَ فَرَأَيْتُ الْيَهُودَ يَسْجُدُونَ لِعُلَمَائِهَا وَأَحْبَارِهَا وَرَأَيْتُ النَّصَارَى يَسْجُدُونَ لِقِسِّيسِيهَا وَفُقَهَائِهَا وَرُهْبَانِهَا فَقُلْتُ : مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالُوا : هَذِهِ تَحِيَّةُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ . قَالَ : " كَذَبُوا عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ كَمَا حَرَّفُوا كِتَابَهُمْ لَوْ أَمَرْتُ أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا " .
رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ النَّهَّاسُ بْنُ قَهْمٍ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyiduna Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) went to Syria, he saw the Jews prostrating to their scholars and elders, and he saw the Christians prostrating to their religious leaders, monks and jurists. When he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he prostrated to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Mu'adh! What is the reason for this? He said: I went to Syria, and there I saw the Jews prostrating to their scholars and elders, and I saw the Christians prostrating to their priests, jurists and monks. I asked: What is the reason for this? They said that this is the way of greeting the prophets. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These people have attributed a lie to their prophets, just as they distorted their books. If I were to command anyone to prostrate to another, I would command the woman to prostrate to her husband.
Al-Bazzar and al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains al-Nahhas bin Qahm, and he is da'if (weak).
