1077. Narrated Rabī'a: 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb رضي الله عنه recited Sūrat An-Nahl (16) on a Friday on the pulpit and when he reached the Verse of Sajda, he got down from the pulpit and prostrated and the people also prostrated. The next Friday 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb recited the same Sūrah and when he reached the Verse of Sajda he said, "O people! When we recite the Verses of Sajda [during the Khutba (religious talk)] whoever prostrates does the right thing, yet there is no sin on the one who does not prostrate." And 'Umar did not prostrate (that day). Ibn 'Umar added, "Allāh has not made the prostration of recitation compulsory but if we wish we can perform it."

1077 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَهُمْ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الهُدَيْرِ التَّيْمِيِّ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: وَكَانَ رَبِيعَةُ مِنْ خِيَارِ النَّاسِ، عَمَّا حَضَرَ رَبِيعَةُ مِنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَرَأَ يَوْمَ الجُمُعَةِ عَلَى المِنْبَرِ بِسُورَةِ النَّحْلِ حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ السَّجْدَةَ نَزَلَ، فَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتِ الجُمُعَةُ القَابِلَةُ قَرَأَ بِهَا، حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ السَّجْدَةَ، قَالَ: «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا نَمُرُّ بِالسُّجُودِ، فَمَنْ سَجَدَ، فَقَدْ أَصَابَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْجُدْ، فَلاَ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ» وَزَادَ نَافِعٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَفْرِضِ السُّجُودَ إِلَّا أَنْ نَشَاءَ»
