English translation

1410. Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī said: "Once, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ recited Sūrat Ṣād while he was on the Minbar. When he reached (the Verse which has) the prostration, he descended and prostrated, and the people prostrated with him. On another day, he also recited it, so the people got ready to prostrate. (Seeing this,) the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'This was only the repentance of a Prophet! But I have seen that you have prepared yourselves for prostration,' and he descended and prostrated, and they prostrated along with him." (Ḥasan)

1410 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي هِلَالٍ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَرْحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ص، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ السَّجْدَةَ نَزَلَ فَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمٌ آخَرُ قَرَأَهَا ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ السَّجْدَةَ تَشَزَّنَ النَّاسُ لِلسُّجُودِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّمَا هِيَ تَوْبَةُ نَبِيٍّ، وَلَكِنِّي رَأَيْتُكُمْ تَشَزَّنْتُمْ لِلسُّجُودِ»، فَنَزَلَ فَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدُوا

Commentary

If a Khatib, while reciting from the Qur'an, recites a verse of prostration, he may climb down from the Minbar and perform the prostration. Listeners should also follow him.
