575. Ibn 'Abbās narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prostrated for it – meaning (in Sūrat An-Najm – and so did the Muslims, the idolaters, the Jinns, and the people." (Sahīh)
(He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Ibn Mas'ūd, and Abū Hurairah.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Ibn 'Abbās is a Hasan Sahīh Hadīth. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge. They held the view that there is a prostration in Sūrat An-Najm.
Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others said that there is no prostration in the Muṣṣal (section). This is the view of Mālik bin Anas. But the first view is more correct, and it is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Ibn Al-Mubārak, Ash-Shāfī, Aḥmad, and Ishāq.

Commentary
As the Prophet recited Sūrat An-Najm all those who were present became fascinated by the grandeur and dignity of the Verses, and they could not help but fall into prostration except one wretched person.
