Sahih al-Bukhari #3281

Prophets
Sahih

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

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ لَيْسَ ‏{‏ص‏}‏ مِنْ عَزَائِمِ السُّجُودِ، وَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَسْجُدُ فِيهَا‏.‏
The prostration in Sura-Sa`d is not amongst the compulsory prostrations, though I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) prostrating on reciting it.
Narrated by Narrated Ibn `Abbas:

Context

In this hadith, Ibn `Abbas narrates that the prostration in Sura-Sa`d is not one of the obligatory prostrations, yet he observed the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) performing it. This highlights the Prophet's practice of engaging in acts of worship that, while not compulsory, are still commendable and demonstrate his devotion to Allah.

Modern Application

In today's context, this hadith encourages Muslims to engage in additional acts of worship beyond the obligatory ones, such as voluntary prayers and recitations. It serves as a reminder that while certain actions may not be mandatory, they can enhance one's spiritual connection and devotion.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Prayer and Prostration (Sujud) because it discusses the act of prostration in a specific surah and the Prophet's (ﷺ) practice of it.
