[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ that he recited Surah An-Najm and then prostrated, and everyone from the people prostrated except for one man who lifted a handful of pebbles and placed it on his forehead, saying, "This is sufficient for me." Abdullah (the narrator) said, "I saw him after that, and he was killed as a disbeliever."
