17. Prostration During Recital of the Quran
١٧۔ كتاب سجود القرآن
I saw Abu Huraira reciting Idha-Sama' un-Shaqqat and he prostrated during its recitation. I asked Abu Huraira, "Didn't I see you prostrating?" Abu Huraira said, "Had I not seen the Prophet ﷺ prostrating, I would not have prostrated."
رَأَيْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَرَأَ {إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ} فَسَجَدَ بِهَا فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ أَلَمْ أَرَكَ تَسْجُدُ قَالَ لَوْ لَمْ أَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَسْجُدُ لَمْ أَسْجُدْ
