اَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، نَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ،عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ سَجْدَةِ (صٓ) قَالَ: تَوْبَةُ عَبْدٍ، اَوْ تَوْبَةُ نَبِیٍّ، فَاَمَرَ اللّٰهُ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّی اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اَنْ یَّقْتَدِیَ بِهٖ.
Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) regarding the prostration in Surah Sad: He said: It is the repentance of a servant or the repentance of a prophet. So Allah commanded Muhammad (peace be upon him) to follow him in this.
