bayhaqi:14705Muḥammad b. Muḥammad b. Maḥmash al-Ziyādī > Abū Bakr Muḥammad b. al-Ḥusayn al-Qaṭṭān > Aḥmad b. Yūsuf al-Sulamī > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Abū Bakr al-Nakhaʿī from my father > Ḥuṣayn b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman al-Sulamī > ʿĀmir al-Shaʿbī > Qays

[Machine] I arrived at Al-Hira and saw its people prostrating to their idols. I said, "We were more deserving of prostrating to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ." When I came to him, I informed him of what I had seen and said, "We were more deserving of prostrating to you." He replied, "Do not do that. Have you considered if you were to pass by my grave, would you prostrate to it?" I said, "No." He said, "Then do not do so. For if I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone else, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands due to the rights Allah has placed upon them, and Qays bin Sa'd narrated this from someone else."  

البيهقي:١٤٧٠٥أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَحْمَشٍ الزِّيَادِيُّ أنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْقَطَّانُ نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ السُّلَمِيُّ نا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ النَّخَعِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي نا حُصَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ قَيْسٍ قَالَ

قَدِمْتُ الْحِيرَةَ فَرَأَيْتُ أَهْلَهَا يَسْجُدُونَ لِمَرْزُبَانَ لَهُمْ فَقُلْتُ نَحْنُ كُنَّا أَحَقَّ أَنْ نَسْجُدَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَخْبَرْتُهُ بِالَّذِي رَأَيْتُ قُلْتُ نَحْنُ كُنَّا أَحَقَّ أَنْ نَسْجُدَ لَكَ فَقَالَ لَا تَفْعَلُوا أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ مَرَرْتَ بِقَبْرِي أَكُنْتَ سَاجِدًا؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا فَإِنِّي لَوْ كُنْتُ آمِرًا أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ النِّسَاءَ أَنْ يَسْجُدْنَ لِأَزْوَاجِهِنَّ لِمَا جَعَلَ اللهُ مِنْ حَقِّهِمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَرَوَاهُ غَيْرُهُ عَنْ شَرِيكٍ فَقَالَ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ

I went to al-Hirah and saw them (the people) prostrating themselves before a satrap of theirs, so I said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has most right to have prostration made before him. When I came to the Prophet ﷺ, I said: I went to al-Hirah and saw them prostrating themselves before a satrap of theirs, but you have most right, Messenger of Allah, to have (people) prostrating themselves before you. He said: Tell me , if you were to pass my grave, would you prostrate yourself before it? I said: No. He then said: Do not do so. If I were to command anyone to make prostration before another I would command women to prostrate themselves before their husbands, because of the special right over them given to husbands by Allah.  

أبو داود:٢١٤٠حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ عَنْ شَرِيكٍ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ

أَتَيْتُ الْحِيرَةَ فَرَأَيْتُهُمْ يَسْجُدُونَ لِمَرْزُبَانٍ لَهُمْ فَقُلْتُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُسْجَدَ لَهُ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي أَتَيْتُ الْحِيرَةَ فَرَأَيْتُهُمْ يَسْجُدُونَ لِمَرْزُبَانٍ لَهُمْ فَأَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ نَسْجُدَ لَكَ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ مَرَرْتَ بِقَبْرِي أَكُنْتَ تَسْجُدُ لَهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لاَ قَالَ فَلاَ تَفْعَلُوا لَوْ كُنْتُ آمِرًا أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لأَحَدٍ لأَمَرْتُ النِّسَاءَ أَنْ يَسْجُدْنَ لأَزْوَاجِهِنَّ لِمَا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنَ الْحَقِّ
