بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي سُجُودِ الْقُرْآنِWhat is reported about prostration in the Qur'an
Hadith 484
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَرَأَ سَجْدَةً وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَنَزَلَ فَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى فَتَهَيَّأَ النَّاسُ لِلسُّجُودِ ، فَقَالَ عَلَى : " رِسْلِكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَكْتُبْهَا عَلَيْنَا إِلَّا أَنْ نَشَاءَ " فَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ وَمَنَعَهُمْ أَنْ يَسْجُدُوا
It is narrated from ‘Urwah bin Zubair that Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) recited a verse of prostration on the pulpit on the day of Jumu‘ah, and then descended from the pulpit and performed prostration, so the people also performed prostration with him. Then, on the next Jumu‘ah, he recited it again and the people prepared themselves to prostrate. At that, Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Remain as you are; Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He, has not made the prostration of recitation obligatory upon us, except when we wish to perform it. So Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) did not prostrate, and he forbade them from prostrating.
