What is your opinion regarding what is mentioned in Ibn Hajar, and transmitted from him by al-Shawkani, concerning the lack of established evidence for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prostrating in prostration of recitation in the Fajr prayer on Friday?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding, for example, the Shaykh, on Friday, O Shaykh!

The Shaykh : The prayer!

The questioner : In the Fajr prayer on Friday, Surat al-Sajdah is recited and prostration is performed in it. Ibn Hajar and al-Shawkani mentioned that the prostration in Surat al-Sajdah in the Fajr prayer on Friday is not established in the hadith according to them. Ibn Hajar mentioned that, the prostration, it is only the recitation of Surat al-Sajdah! So is it?

The Shaykh : What is this talk?

The questioner : I said there are two hadiths.

The Shaykh : You are mistaken.

The questioner : This is what he mentioned in the book on Prostration in the Qur'an.

The Shaykh : Absolutely not.

The questioner : Ibn Hajar, and al-Shawkani transmitted that from him.

The Shaykh : How? Did the Messenger (peace be upon him) not prostrate in the Fajr prayer on Friday?

The questioner : In the Fajr prayer on Friday, it is not established according to them.

The Shaykh : No, this is established in the authentic collections.

The questioner : I remember the hadith regarding that.

The Shaykh : That the Messenger (peace be upon him) used to recite Surat al-Sajdah on Friday and prostrate in it.

The questioner : In the Fajr prayer?

The Shaykh : From the closest matters, and you did not refer to "The Description of Prayer"? In it, it is mentioned what the Messenger (peace be upon him) used to recite in the morning of Friday.
