The Meaning of the Saying of Allah the Exalted: "And Your Turning About Among the Prostrators"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And how the relationship is between the hadith of Islam, that Allah the Mighty and Majestic loves, and the noble verse,
The Shaykh:
The meaning of "Your turning about among the prostrators" is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would rise at night to pray and prostrate, just as the people of faith rise to pray and prostrate. It is not intended, as some say, that it means he turned about in the loins of the prostrators from Adam to such-and-such. There is no evidence for this. Yes,[Ash-Shu'ara 26:218-219] When you rise, why? The night prayer, the night prayer, yes.

(218) Who sees you when you arise (219) And your movement among those who prostrate.
