7.6 A Person On A Mount Hears A Verse Of Prostration, Or Someone Who Is Not Praying (Should He Prostrate?)

٧۔٦ باب فِي الرَّجُلِ يَسْمَعُ السَّجْدَةَ وَهُوَ رَاكِبٌ وَفِي غَيْرِ الصَّلاَةِ

abudawud:1411Muḥammad b. ʿUthmān al-Dimashqī Abū al-Jumāhir > ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz / Ibn Muḥammad > Muṣʿab b. Thābit b. ʿAbdullāh b. al-Zubayr > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

In the year of Conquest the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited a verse at which a prostration should be made and all the people prostrated themselves. Some were mounted, and some were prostrating themselves on the ground, and those who were mounted prostrated themselves on their hands.  

أبو داود:١٤١١حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ أَبُو الْجُمَاهِرِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ ثَابِتِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَرَأَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ سَجْدَةً فَسَجَدَ النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْهُمُ الرَّاكِبُ وَالسَّاجِدُ فِي الأَرْضِ حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّاكِبَ لَيَسْجُدُ عَلَى يَدِهِ  

abudawud:1412[Chain 1] Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal > Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd [Chain 2] Aḥmad b. Abū Shuʿayb > Ibn Numayr al-Maʿná > ʿUbaydullāh > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would recite to us a surah (according to the version of Ibn Numair) outside the prayer (the agreed version goes), then he would prostrate along with him, and none of us could find a place for his forehead.  

أبو داود:١٤١٢حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي شُعَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ الْمَعْنَى عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْنَا السُّورَةَ قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ فِي غَيْرِ الصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا فَيَسْجُدُ وَنَسْجُدُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى لاَ يَجِدُ أَحَدُنَا مَكَانًا لِمَوْضِعِ جَبْهَتِهِ  

abudawud:1413Aḥmad b. al-Furāt Abū Masʿūd al-Rāzī > ʿAbd al-Razzāq > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite the Qur'an to us. When he came upon the verse containing prostration, he would utter the takbir (Allah is most great) and we would prostrate ourselves along with him. The narrator 'Abd al-Razzaq said: Al-Thawri liked this tradition very much. Abu Dawud said: This was liked by him for this contains the uttering of takbir.  

أبو داود:١٤١٣حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْفُرَاتِ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الرَّازِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْنَا الْقُرْآنَ فَإِذَا مَرَّ بِالسَّجْدَةِ كَبَّرَ وَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدْنَا  

قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ وَكَانَ الثَّوْرِيُّ يُعْجِبُهُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ يُعْجِبُهُ لأَنَّهُ كَبَّرَ
