Sahih al-Bukhari #1048

Prostration During Recital of Qur'an
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقْرَأُ السُّورَةَ الَّتِي فِيهَا السَّجْدَةُ فَيَسْجُدُ وَنَسْجُدُ حَتَّى مَا يَجِدُ أَحَدُنَا مَكَانًا لِمَوْضِعِ جَبْهَتِهِ‏.‏
Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) recited the Sura which contained the prostration of recitation he used to prostrate and then, we, too, would prostrate and some of us did not find a place for prostration.
Narrated by Narrated Ibn `Umar.:

Context

This hadith recounts how the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) would prostrate during the recitation of specific verses in the Quran that require prostration. The companions would follow his lead, sometimes finding it difficult to find space for their prostration due to the crowd. This illustrates the communal aspect of worship and the importance of following the Prophet's (ﷺ) example in prayer.

Modern Application

In modern times, many Muslims strive to incorporate prostration during Quranic recitation into their daily prayers. This practice fosters a deeper connection to the Quran and enhances the spiritual experience of prayer.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Prayer and Prostration (Sujud) because it emphasizes the act of prostration during Quranic recitation as practiced by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
