ذِكْرُ الْعِلَّةِ الَّتِي مِنْ أَجْلِهَا سَجَدَ ﷺ فِي ص

ibnhibban:2766Ibn Khuzaymah > Abū Kurayb And al-Ashaj > Abū Khālid al-Aḥmar > al-ʿAwwām b. Ḥawshab > Mujāhid > Liāb. al-ʿAbbās Sajdah ṣ from Ayn Akhadhtahā

[Machine] I asked Ibn Abbas about the prostration in Surah Sajdah, from where did you take it? He recited to me from the verse {And among his descendants were David and Solomon and Job} until he reached the verse {These are the ones whom Allah has guided, so from their guidance take an example}.  

ابن حبّان:٢٧٦٦أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ وَالْأَشَجُّ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ عَنِ الْعَوَّامِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ

قُلْتُ لِابْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ سَجْدَةُ ص مِنْ أَيْنَ أَخَذْتَهَا؟ قَالَ فَتَلَا عَلَيَّ {وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ دَاوُدُ وَسُلَيْمَانُ وَأَيُّوبُ} حَتَّى بَلَغَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ هَدَى اللَّهُ فَبِهُدَاهُمِ اقْتَدِهْ}
