The Book of the Commencement of the Prayer
Sahih

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

أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رَبَاحٌ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ أَبِي وَدَاعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمَكَّةَ سُورَةَ النَّجْمِ فَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي وَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ أَسْجُدَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَسْلَمَ الْمُطَّلِبُ ‏.‏
His father said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited Surat An-Najm in Makkah and prostrated, and those who were with him prostrated. I raised my head and refused to prostrate." At that time Al-Muttalib had not yet accepted Islam.
Narrated by It was narrated from Ja'far bin Al-Muttalib bin Abi Wada'ah that:

Context

Ja'far bin Al-Muttalib reported that during the recitation of Surat An-Najm, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ prostrated, and those with him followed suit. However, Ja'far himself refrained from prostrating at that moment. This event underscores the significance of prostration in worship and the varying responses individuals may have to spiritual experiences.

Modern Application

This hadith encourages us to reflect on our responses to spiritual moments, such as reading the Quran. It serves as a reminder that everyone may engage with their faith differently, and that's acceptable.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Quran and Prostration (Sujud) because it emphasizes the act of prostration during Quranic recitation and the importance of responding to divine messages.
