No sajdah to anyone but Allah

[AI] Sham saw the Christians prostrating to their bishops and their priests, so he thought to himself that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is more deserving to be honored. When he arrived, he said, "O Messenger of Allah, I saw the Christians prostrating to their bishops and priests, so I thought to myself that you are more deserving to be honored." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "If I were to command anyone to prostrate to another, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands. And no woman fulfills her duty to Allah (SWT) completely until she fulfills her duty to her husband completely. Even if he asks for herself while she is on the back of a camel, she should give it to him."

الشَّامَ فَرَأَى النَّصَارَى تَسْجُدُ لِبَطَارِقَتِهَا وَأَسَاقِفَتِهَا فَرَوَّى فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُعَظَّمَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَأَيْتُ النَّصَارَى تَسْجُدُ لِبَطَارِقَتِهَا وَأَسَاقِفَتِهَا فَرَوَّأْتُ فِي نَفْسِي أَنَّكَ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تُعَظَّمَ فَقَالَ لَوْ كُنْتُ آمُرُ أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا وَلَا تُؤَدِّي الْمَرْأَةُ حَقَّ اللهِ ﷻ عَلَيْهَا كُلَّهُ حَتَّى تُؤَدِّيَ حَقَّ زَوْجِهَا عَلَيْهَا كُلَّهُ حَتَّى لَوْ سَأَلَهَا نَفْسَهَا وَهِيَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ قَتَبٍ لَأَعْطَتْهُ إِيَّاهُ

[AI] "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think about the People of the Book prostrating to their bishops and rabbis? Shouldn't we prostrate to you instead?" He said, "If I were to command anyone to prostrate to another, I would have commanded the wife to prostrate to her husband. And the wife would not fulfill her husband's rights even if he asked her to do so while riding a camel, she would give it to him."

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ يَسْجُدُونَ لِأَسَاقِفَتِهِمْ وَبَطَارِقَتِهِمْ؟ أَفَلَا نَسْجُدُ لَكَ؟ قَالَ «لَوْ كُنْتُ آمِرًا أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا وَلَا تُؤَدِّي الْمَرْأَةُ حَقَّ زَوْجِهَا حَتَّى لَوْ سَأَلَهَا نَفْسَهَا عَلَى قَتَبٍ لَأَعْطَتْهُ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , sent Mu'adh to Sham (Syria). When he arrived, Mu'adh said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have seen the People of the Book prostrating to their bishops and monks. Shouldn't we prostrate to you?" The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , replied, "If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone else, I would have commanded the wife to prostrate to her husband. And a wife does not fulfill her husband's rights even if he asks her while she is on the back of a camel."

بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُعَاذًا إِلَى الشَّامِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ يَسْجُدُونَ لِأَسَاقِفَتِهِمْ وَبَطَارِقَتِهِمْ أَلَا نَسْجُدُ لَكَ؟ قَالَ «لَوْ كُنْتُ آمِرًا أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا وَلَا تُؤَدِّي الْمَرْأَةُ حَقَّ زَوْجِهَا حَتَّى لَوْ سَأَلَهَا نَفْسَهَا عَلَى ظَهْرِ قَتَبٍ أَعْطَتْهُ»

[AI] "When Mu'adh ibn Jabal arrived in Sham, he saw the Jews prostrating to their rabbis and scholars, and he saw the Christians prostrating to their bishops and monks. When he arrived to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he prostrated to him, so the Messenger ﷺ said, 'What is this, O Mu'adh?' He replied, 'I arrived in Sham and saw the Jews prostrating to their rabbis and scholars, and I saw the Christians prostrating to their bishops and monks, so I said, 'What is this?' They said it is the greeting of the prophets.' So the Messenger ﷺ said, 'They lied upon their prophets, just as they distorted their scriptures. If I were to command anyone to prostrate to another, I would have commanded the woman to prostrate to her husband.'"

أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ لَمَّا قَدِمَ الشَّامَ رَأَى الْيَهُودَ يَسْجُدُونَ لِأَحْبَارِهِمْ وَعُلَمَائِهِمْ وَرَأَى النَّصَارَى يَسْجُدُونَ لِأَسَاقِفَتِهِمْ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَجَدَ لَهُ فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا يَا مُعَاذُ؟» فَقَالَ إِنِّي قَدِمْتُ الشَّامَ فَرَأَيْتُ الْيَهُودَ يَسْجُدُونَ لِعُلَمَائِهِمْ وَأَحْبَارِهِمْ وَرَأَيْتُ النَّصَارَى يَسْجُدُونَ لِقِسِّيسِيهِمْ وَرُهْبَانَهُمْ فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالُوا تَحِيَّةَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فَقَالَ ﷺ «كَذَبُوا عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ كَمَا حَرَّفُوا كِتَابَهُمْ لَوْ أَمَرْتُ أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا»

[AI] To do that for the Prophet ﷺ , so when he arrived, he prostrated to the Prophet ﷺ and he objected to that. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I entered Syria and found them prostrating to their bishops and patriarchs. So, I thought to myself that I should do the same for you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If I were to command anyone to prostrate to another, I would have commanded the wife to prostrate to her husband. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, a woman does not fulfill her Lord's right until she fulfills her husband's right in its entirety, even if he were to ask for her while she is on a saddle."

أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ سَجَدَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي دَخَلْتُ الشَّامَ فَوَجَدْتُهُمْ يَسْجُدُونَ لِبَطَارِقَتِهِمْ وَأَسَاقِفَتِهِمْ فَرَوَيْتُ فِي نَفْسِي أَنْ أَفْعَلَ ذَلِكَ لَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْ كُنْتُ آمِرًا أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَا تُؤَدِّي الْمَرْأَةُ حَقَّ رَبِّهَا ﷻ حَتَّى تُؤَدِّيَ حَقَّ زَوْجِهَا كُلَّهُ حَتَّى أَنْ لَوْ سَأَلَهَا نَفْسَهَا وَهِيَ عَلَى قَتَبٍ أَعْطَتْهُ أَوْ قَالَ لَمْ تَمْنَعْهُ
