‏(‏138‏)‏ بَابُ ذِكْرِ الدَّلِيلِ عَلَى أَنَّ السُّجُودَ عِنْدَ قِرَاءَةِ السَّجْدَةِ فَضِيلَةٌ لَا فَرِيضَةٌ،

Chapter 138: Evidence that prostration upon reciting a verse of prostration is a virtue, not an obligation

3 hadith
Hadith Q566
إِذِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مَعَهُ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ جَمِيعًا، إِلَّا الرَّجُلَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ أَرَادَا الشُّهْرَةَ، وَقَدْ قَرَأَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّجْمَ فَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ وَلَمْ يَأْمُرْهُ- عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ-، وَلَوْ كَانَ السُّجُودُ فَرِيضَةً لَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَا، وَلَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ فِي النَّجْمِ سَجْدَةٌ كَمَا تَوَهَّمَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ لِعِلَّةِ هَذَا الْخَبَرِ الَّذِي سَنَذْكُرُهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ، لَمَا سَجَدَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي النَّجْمِ‏.‏
Because when the Prophet (ﷺ) prostrated, the Muslims also prostrated with him, and all the polytheists except for two fame-seeking individuals also prostrated. Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) recited Surah Najm to the Prophet (ﷺ) and did not prostrate, and the Prophet (ﷺ) did not order him to prostrate. If the prostration of recitation had been obligatory, the Prophet (ﷺ) would have ordered him to prostrate. And if there was no prostration in Surah Najm, as some people have misunderstood due to the reason of a certain hadith which we will soon mention (InshaAllah), then the Prophet (ﷺ) would not have prostrated in Surah Najm.

Hadith 566
نا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى الصَّدَفِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَخْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ قُسَيْطٍ ، عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : " عَرَضْتُ النَّجْمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ " . قَالَ أَبُو صَخْرٍ : وَصَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، وَأَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَزْمٍ ، فَلَمْ يَسْجُدَا
Hazrat Kharijah bin Zaid bin Thabit narrates from his esteemed father that he said: I recited « سورۃ النجم » to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), but none of us performed the prostration (sajdah). Janab Abu Dharr says: I offered prayer behind Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz and Hazrat Abu Bakr bin Hazm (may Allah have mercy on them), and neither of them performed the prostration of recitation (sajdah tilawah) either.

Hadith 567
نا . . . . أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ التَّيْمِيِّ ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْهُدَيْرِ التَّيْمِيِّ ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ : وَكَانَ رَبِيعَةُ مِنْ خِيَارِ النَّاسِ مِمَّنْ حَضَرَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ، قَالَ رَبِيعَةُ : قَرَأَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ سُورَةَ النَّحْلِ ، حَتَّى إِذَا أَتَى السَّجْدَةَ ، فَقَالَ : " يَأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، إِنَّمَا نَمُرُّ بِالسُّجُودِ ، فَمَنْ سَجَدَ ، فَقَدْ أَصَابَ وَأَحْسَنَ ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْجُدْ ، فَلا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ ، وَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ "
Hazrat Abu Bakr bin Abi Malikah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Rabi’ah was among the best people who used to attend to Sayyiduna Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). Hazrat Rabi’ah narrates that Sayyiduna Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) recited « سورۃ النحل » on the pulpit on the day of Jumu’ah, and when he reached the verse of prostration, he said: “O people, we are passing by a verse of prostration, so whoever performs the prostration has done the right and good thing. And whoever does not perform the prostration, there is no sin upon him.” And he himself did not perform the prostration.
