5175. It was narrated that 'Alī said: "My beloved, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, forbade me three things but I do not say that he forbade them to the people. He forbade me from wearing rings of gold, from wearing Al-Qassī, and Al-Mu'asfar Al-Mufaddam (garments that are deeply dyed with safflower),[4] and (he forbade me) from reciting Qur'ân when prostrating or bowing." He was followed (in that narration) by Aḍ-Ḍahḥāk bin Uṭhmān: (Ṣaḥīḥ)
5172 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَنَفِيُّ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ: حَدَّثَنَا وَقَال عُثْمَانُ: أَنْبَأَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: نَهَانِي حِبِّي صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ثَلَاثٍ لَا أَقُولُ نَهَى النَّاسَ " نَهَانِي: عَنْ تَخَتُّمِ الذَّهَبِ، وَعَنْ لُبْسِ الْقَسِّيِّ، وَعَنِ الْمُعَصْفَرِ الْمُفَدَّمَةِ، وَلَا أَقْرَأُ سَاجِدًا، وَلَا رَاكِعًا " تَابَعَهُ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ

[4] No. 5175 has it Al-Mu'asfaril-Mufaddam, while No. 5176 has it: Al-Mufaddam and Al-Mu'asfar. In No. 3601 of Sunan Ibn Mājah is the following: It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar
1. 'I do not say': The purpose is to emphasize that since Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had addressed me in the singular, I too employ the singular forms, and not the plural. Otherwise, the hereunder mentioned substances are unlawful for every Muslim as they were unlawful for 'Alī ﷺ. But the unlawfulness of gold and silk is for men. 2. 'In the postures of bowing and prostrating': The reason for the unlawfulness of reciting the Qur'ân might perhaps have been due to the fact that the bowing and prostrating are the conditions of extreme helplessness and humbleness or debasement before Allāh, Most High. And the Glorious Qur'ân is the Speech of Allāh, which is of immensely lofty rank. It is not suitable or compatible with these states or postures. And Allāh knows best!
