Arabic text

956 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا شَرِيكٌ، وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، عَنْ الْمُخَوَّلِ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ تَنْزِيلُ السَّجْدَةَ، وَهَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ»

Commentary

It is desirable to recite these two Surahs in the dawn prayer on the blessed day of Friday, but it is not compulsory. According to some scholars, on the day of Friday, it is essential to recite in the dawn prayer a Surah (any such Surah) that contains a verse of prostration. But their argument has no evidence. Description of the Qur'ân Recital Prostration If the reciter is able to prostrate, he should do so. He should not just pass through casually. If one is not in a position to prostrate, he should simply bow down his head and perform the prostration symbolically with gesture - for instance, when a person is riding a bike or driving a car. However, if one is not able to prostrate opportunely, then there is no mention in Aḥādīth of one's performing it later on. If one is listening to a recital (of the Qur'ân), and he is able to manage to prostrate, he ought to prostrate. The Qur'ân recital prostration consists of neither Takbīr nor the Taslīm. It is merely a prostration. And Allāh knows best!
