The ruling on the imam prostrating at the prostration verse in Surat Sad
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the prostration in Surat Sad[Sad 38:24], is it prescribed for the imam to perform the prostration of recitation there?
The Shaykh:
There is scholarly disagreement among the scholars. "Prostrating and turning back" means Dawud (peace be upon him). Is this among the obligatory prostrations or not? The stronger position is that it is not among the obligatory prostrations. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Dawud thought that We had tried him. Yes.
The presenter:
Decided.
The Shaykh:
Prostrating and turning back, peace and blessings be upon him. Yes.
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the prostration in Surat Sad
[David] said, "He has certainly wronged you in demanding your ewe [in addition] to his ewes. And indeed, many associates oppress one another, except for those who believe and do righteous deeds - and few are they." And David became certain that We had tried him, and he asked forgiveness of his Lord and fell down bowing [in prostration] and turned in repentance [to Allah].
