"إذَا جَاءَ أحَدُكُمْ المسجدَ فليُصلِّ سَجْدَتينِ مِنْ قَبلِ أنْ يَجْلِسَ، ثم ليَقعُدْ بْعدُ إنْ شاءَ. أوْ لِيذْهبْ لحاجَتِه".

أبو داود:٤٦٧ – حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلْيُصَلِّ سَجْدَتَيْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ
