Narrator:Ibn ‘Abbās

وَعَن ابْن عَبَّاس قَالَ: (سَجْدَةُ (ص) لَيْسَ مِنْ عَزَائِمِ السُّجُودِ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يسْجد فِيهَا
وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: قَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ: قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: أَأَسْجُدُ فِي (ص) فَقَرَأَ: (وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ دَاوُدَ وَسليمَان) حَتَّى أَتَى (فبهداهم اقتده) فَقَالَ: نَبِيُّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِمَّنْ أَمر أَن يَقْتَدِي بهم. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ

Ibn ‘Abbas said:

A prostration when reciting Sad (Al-Qur’an; 38) is not one of those which are divinely commanded, but I have seen the Prophet prostrate himself when it was recited. In a version Mujahid said that he asked Ibn ‘Abbas whether he should prostrate himself when reciting Sad, whereupon he recited, “And among his progeny David and Solomon . . . so copy the guidance they received,” (Al-Qur’an; 6:84-90) and said, “Your prophet was one of those who were commanded to copy them.” Bukhari transmitted it.

Reported by Al-Bukhari (No. 1069, 3422), Abu Dawud (No. 1409) and Ahmad (No. 3214). Cited in Mishkat al-Masabih (No. 1027).

The prostration of Sūrah Sād is not a compulsory one but I saw the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) prostrating while reciting it

Ibn Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The prostration of Sād is not a compulsory one but I saw the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) prostrating while reciting it."

A prostration while reciting Surat Sad (Surah 38) is not one of the 'Azaa'im (those which are always required), but I have seen Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) prostrating while reciting it. [Reported by al-Bukhari].
