578. Ubābah bin 'Āmir narrated: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Sūrat Al-Hajj has been esteemed by two prostrations?' He said: 'Yes, and whoever does not prostrate for them, he should not recite them.'" (Hasan)
Abū 'Eisā said: The chain for this Hadīth is not strong.
The people of knowledge differ over this, it is reported that 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb and Ibn 'Umar said: "Sūrat Al-Hajj has been esteemed in that it has two prostrations." This is
the view of Ibn Al-Mubārak, Ash-Shāfi'i, Aḥmad, and Ishāq.
Some of them held the view that there is one prostration in it, this is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Mālik, and the people of Al-Kūfah.

Commentary
This saying is reported on behalf of many noble Companions; they mean that as the recitation of these two Verses cannot be overlooked, the prostrations in them should also not be ignored.
