Those Who Say Not to Prostrate and Consider It Disliked to Recite an Ayah of Prostration at That Time

Hazrat Abdullah bin Maqsim narrates that a man used to recite the verse of prostration after Fajr and would perform prostration.

Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) scolded him and said that these people do not understand.

Hazrat Nafi' narrates that Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) heard a man reciting a verse of prostration before the prayer became permissible. Upon this, he also performed prostration, and the people sitting with him also performed prostration. Hazrat Umar held my hand, and when the time of Duha (forenoon) arrived, he said, "O Nafi'! Come, let us perform that prostration which those people performed at an improper time."
