Hadith 1504

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق، عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "قَرَأَ النَّجْمَ فَسَجَدَ فِيهَا"، فَلَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا سَجَدَ، إِلَّا شَيْخٌ أَخَذَ كَفًّا مِنْ حَصا فَرَفَعَهُ إِلَى جَبْهَتِهِ وَقَالَ: يَكْفِينِي هَذَا.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surah An-Najm, he performed sajdah (prostration) at the verse of sajdah, and all the people present there performed sajdah except for one old man who took a handful of sand and pebbles, placed them on his forehead, and said: "This is sufficient for me (instead of performing sajdah)." (It is mentioned in Sahih Muslim: Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I saw that this person died in a state of disbelief.)

Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 1503)

From here, Imam Darimi rahimahullah has begun the mention of the prostration of recitation (sujud at-tilawah).

From the above-mentioned narration, the prostration (sajdah) of Surah An-Najm is established, which is on the last verse: «﴿فَاسْجُدُوا لِلّٰهِ وَاعْبُدُوا﴾ [النجم : 62]», and upon which both Muslims and disbelievers, as well as polytheists, all fell into prostration.

The meaning of the verse: "So prostrate to Allah and worship Him alone."
