Chapter 20: The prostration of recitation.
Ibn 'Umar reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
while reciting the Qur'an recited its surah containing sajda, and he performed
prostration and we also prostrated along with him (but we were so overcrowded)
that some of us could not find a place for our forehead (when prostrating
ourselves). (Sahih
Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 133)
Ibn 'Umar reported:
Sometimes the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) recited the Qur'an, and would pass by (recite) the verse of sajda and
performed prostration and he did this along with us, but we were so crowded in
his company that none of us could find a place for performing prostration. (and
it was done on occasions) other than prayer. (Sahih
Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 134)
Abdullah (b. 'Umar)
reported:
The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ)
recited (Surat) al Najm and performed prostration during its recital and all
those who were along with him also prostrated themselves except one old man who
took a handful of pebbles or dust in his palm and lifted it to his forehead and
said: This is sufficient for me. 'Abdullah said: I saw that he was later killed
in a state of unbelief. (Sahih
Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 135)
'ta' b. Yasar reported that
he had asked Zaid b. Thabit about recital along with the Imam, to which he

There should be no recital
along with the Imam in anything, and alleged that he recited:" By the star
when it sets" (Surah Najm) before the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he did
not prostrate himself. (Sahih
Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 136)
Abu Salama b. 'Abual-Rahman
reported:
Abu Huraira recited before
them:" When the heaven burst asunder" (al-Qur'an, 84:1) and performed
prostration. After completing (the prayer) he informed them that the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) has prostrated himself at it (this verse). (Sahih

I said the night prayer
along with Abu Huraira and -as he recited:" When the heaven burst
asunder," he performed prostration. I said to him: What prostration is
this? He said: I prostrated myself (on this occasion of recital) behind
Abu'I-Qasim (Muhammad. may peace be upon him), and I would go on doing this
till I meet him (in the next world). Ibn 'Abu al-A'la said: (Abu Huraira
uttered this:) I would not abandon performing prostration. (Sahih

of this verse) and I shall continue prostrating till I meet him. Shu'ba asked:
Do you mean (by Friend) the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? He said: Yes. (Sahih
