Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Now, what is the evidence of the one who said that prostration of recitation is obligatory, Yahya?

The Shaykh : What? They cited evidence and said that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, blamed the one who left it, praised the one who did it, and commanded it.

The questioner : Wait, wait. He blamed the one who left it. I do not know about leaving it.

The Shaykh : The one who left... silence the occupation.

The questioner : The one who left the prostration of recitation.

The Shaykh : And when the Qur'an is recited to them, this is what he said.

The questioner : Yes, but is it the prostration of recitation that they want? Is it the prostration of recitation that they want?

The Shaykh : No, this is just a very weak evidence.

The questioner : Now, if He blamed the one who left the prostration? Hmm.

The Shaykh : Yes, yes, yes, and He commanded it.

The questioner : And He commanded it. Bring the evidence for these three things.

The Shaykh : As for the command for it, it is His saying, the Exalted:
O you who have believed, bowيَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ارْكَعُوا
[Al-Hajj 22:77]
and they prostrate. As for the blame, it is His saying, the Exalted:
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do notوَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا
[Al-Inshiqaq 84:21]
they do not prostrate. As for the praise, it is His saying, the Exalted:
Indeed, those who are near your Lord are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, and they exalt Him, and toإِنَّ الَّذِينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِ وَيُسَبِّحُونَهُ وَلَهُ
[Al-A'raf 7:206]
they prostrate.

The presenter : You have done well.
