يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْنَا السُّورَةَ فِيهَا السَّجْدَةُ، فَيَسْجُدُ وَنَسْجُدُ، حَتَّى مَا يَجِدُ أَحَدُنَا مَوْضِعَ جَبْهَتِهِ‏.‏

Explanation in Arabic

كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقرأ على الصحابة سورة فيها سجود التلاوة، فيسجد عليه الصلاة والسلام ويسجد الصحابة تبعًا له، حتى ما يجد بعض الصحابة موضعًا يسجد فيه؛ لكثرة الساجدين وضيق المكان.

  • مشروعية قراءة القرآن والاستماع له خارج الصلاة.
  • حرص الصحابة على فعل الخير والمسابقة إليه.
  • ثبوت سجود التلاوة.
  • سجود المستمع مع القارئ إذا سجد.

Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) recited the Sura which contained the prostration of recitation he used to prostrate and then, we, too, would prostrate and some of us did not find a place for prostration.

يَقْرَأُ السُّورَةَ الَّتِي فِيهَا السَّجْدَةُ فَيَسْجُدُ وَنَسْجُدُ حَتَّى مَا يَجِدُ أَحَدُنَا مَكَانًا لِمَوْضِعِ جَبْهَتِهِ‏.‏

Authentic Sunan Abu Dawud 1412

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would recite to us a surah (according to the version of Ibn Numair) outside the prayer (the agreed version goes), then he would prostrate along with him, and none of us could find a place for his forehead.

يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْنَا السُّورَةَ - قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ فِي غَيْرِ الصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا - فَيَسْجُدُ وَنَسْجُدُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى لاَ يَجِدُ أَحَدُنَا مَكَانًا لِمَوْضِعِ جَبْهَتِهِ ‏.‏
