What is reported about prostration in the Qur'an
Hadith 480
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ مَوْلَى الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَرَأَ لَهُمْ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ فَسَجَدَ فِيهَا فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَخْبَرَهُمْ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " سَجَدَ فِيهَا "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) recited Surah «﴿إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ﴾» and performed sajdah (prostration), and when he finished, he explained that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed sajdah in it.
Hadith 481
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ مِصْرَ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْحَجِّ فَسَجَدَ فِيهَا سَجْدَتَيْنِ ، ثُمّ قَالَ : " إِنَّ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ فُضِّلَتْ بِسَجْدَتَيْنِ "
It is narrated from Nafi that a person from among the people of Egypt informed me that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) recited Surah Al-Hajj and performed two prostrations in it, then said that this Surah has been given distinction because of the two prostrations.
Hadith 482
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ " يَسْجُدُ فِي سُورَةِ الْحَجِّ سَجْدَتَيْنِ "
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Dinar that he saw Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) performing two prostrations in Surah Al-Hajj.
Hadith 483
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ " قَرَأَ بِ النَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى فَسَجَدَ فِيهَا ثُمَّ قَامَ فَقَرَأَ بِسُورَةٍ أُخْرَى "
It is narrated from A'raj that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) recited «﴿وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى﴾» and performed sajdah, then after standing up from sajdah, he recited another surah.
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.
Hadith 484B1
قَالَ مَالِك : لَيْسَ الْعَمَلُ عَلَى أَنْ يَنْزِلَ الْإِمَامُ إِذَا قَرَأَ السَّجْدَةَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَيَسْجُدَ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Our view is not that if the imam recites a verse of prostration on the pulpit, he should descend from the pulpit and perform the prostration.
Hadith 484B2
قَالَ مَالِك : الْأَمْرُ عِنْدَنَا أَنَّ عَزَائِمَ سُجُودِ الْقُرْآنِ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ سَجْدَةً لَيْسَ فِي الْمُفَصَّلِ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: In our view, the ruling is that there are eleven confirmed prostrations in the Qur'an, and none of them are in the Mufassal (short surahs).
Hadith 484B3
قَالَ مَالِك : لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ يَقْرَأُ مِنْ سُجُودِ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْئًا بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ ، وَلَا بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى " عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ ، وَعَنِ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ ، وَالسَّجْدَةُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ ، فَلَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ سَجْدَةً فِي تَيْنِكَ السَّاعَتَيْنِ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: No person should recite a verse of prostration after the Asr prayer or after Fajr, because the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade prayer after the morning prayer until the sun rises, and forbade prayer after Asr until the sun sets. And the prostration of recitation is like prayer, so no person should recite a verse of prostration during these two times.
Hadith 484B4
سُئِلَ مَالِك عَمَّنْ قَرَأَ سَجْدَةً وَامْرَأَةٌ حَائِضٌ تَسْمَعُ ، هَلْ لَهَا أَنْ تَسْجُدَ ؟ قَالَ مَالِك : لَا يَسْجُدُ الرَّجُلُ وَلَا الْمَرْأَةُ إِلَّا وَهُمَا طَاهِرَانِ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked: If a person recites a verse of prostration and a menstruating woman hears it, should that woman also perform the prostration? Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, replied: No, for both a man or a woman, the prostration is only valid when both are in a state of ablution.
Hadith 484B5
وَسُئِلَ عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ قَرَأَتْ سَجْدَةً وَرَجُلٌ مَعَهَا يَسْمَعُ أَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ مَعَهَا ، قَالَ مَالِك : لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ مَعَهَا إِنَّمَا تَجِبُ السَّجْدَةُ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ يَكُونُونَ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ فَيَأْتَمُّونَ بِهِ ، فَيَقْرَأُ السَّجْدَةَ فَيَسْجُدُونَ مَعَهُ ، وَلَيْسَ عَلَى مَنْ سَمِعَ سَجْدَةً مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ يَقْرَؤُهَا لَيْسَ لَهُ بِإِمَامٍ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ تِلْكَ السَّجْدَةَ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked: If a woman recites a verse of prostration and a man hears her, should that man also perform prostration along with the woman? He replied: No, rather prostration becomes obligatory on the listener only when he is a follower (muqtadi) of the one who is reciting the verse of prostration. And it is not the case that whoever hears the verse of prostration from someone and is not a follower of the reciter should perform prostration.
