1008. It was narrated that 'Abdullāh bin As-Sā'ib said: "I was with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on the day of the Conquest (of Makkah). He prayed in front of the Ka'bah. He took off his shoes and placed them to his left, and he started to recite Sûrat Al-Mu'minûn. When he reached the passage that mentions Mûsâ and 'Eisa, peace be upon them both, he started coughing, then he bowed." (Sahîh)
1007 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ حَدِيثًا رَفَعَهُ إِلَى ابْنُ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنُ السَّائِبِ، قَالَ: «حَضَرْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ فَصَلَّى فِي قُبُلِ الْكَعْبَةِ، فَخَلَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ فَوَضَعَهُمَا عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، فَافْتَتَحَ بِسُورَةِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ ذِكْرُ مُوسَى أَوْ عِيسَى عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ أَخَذَتْهُ سَعْلَةٌ فَرَكَعَ»

Had it been compulsory to recite the Surah completely, he would have waited for the cough to abate, and would have completed the Surah. The Prophet's ﷺ bowing down evidences its permissibility.
