Bayhaqi 3756 — One who did not hold the prostration of recitation

أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ، وَأَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ قَالَا: أنبأ أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ نُجَيْدٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَبْدِيُّ، ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَرَأَ السَّجْدَةَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَنَزَلَ فَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدُوا مَعَهُ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى فَتَهَيَّئُوا لِلسُّجُودِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: عَلَى رِسْلِكُمْ، إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَمْ يَكْتُبْهَا عَلَيْنَا إِلَّا أَنْ نَشَاءَ، فَقَرَأَهَا وَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ، وَمَنَعَهُمْ أَنْ يَسْجُدُوا قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ: وَقِيلَ لِعِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ: الرَّجُلُ يَسْمَعُ السَّجْدَةَ وَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ لَهَا قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ قَعَدَ لَهَا كَأَنَّهُ لَا يُوجِبُهُ عَلَيْهِ.
(a) Hisham bin Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) recited a verse of prostration on the pulpit on Friday, so he came down from the pulpit and prostrated, and the people prostrated with him. Then on the following Friday he recited the same verse of prostration; the people got ready to prostrate, whereupon Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Wait a moment; Allah Almighty has not made these prostrations obligatory upon us, rather they depend on our choice. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) recited the verse of prostration but did not prostrate, and he also stopped the people from prostrating.
(b) Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Someone said to Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him): A man hears a verse of prostration although he had not sat down to listen to it; what should he do? He said: Then what do you think if he had sat down for it? It was as if he did not consider it obligatory upon him.
