The authenticity of the hadith: “If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone, I would command the wife to prostrate to her husband”

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the authenticity of the hadith ?

Answer:
The hadith is authentic. It was narrated by Mu'adh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him). He saw the people prostrating to their kings. He saw the people prostrating to their kings, from among the People of the Book and others. So he asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission to prostrate to him.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No. But If he has greatly honored her right over him, prostration as a greeting is not permissible. I mean, as for prostration as worship, that is shirk (associating partners with Allah). But this is prostration as a greeting. They used to prostrate to their kings, and the angels prostrated to Adam by the command of Allah; it was prostration as a greeting, not prostration as worship. Yes.
