Hadith text · Matn

‏ إِنَّمَا هِيَ تَوْبَةُ نَبِيٍّ وَلَكِنِّي رَأَيْتُكُمْ تَشَزَّنْتُمْ لِلسُّجُودِ ‏

‏ ‏.‏ فَنَزَلَ فَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدُوا ‏.‏

English translation

Narrated Sa'id al-Khudri:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited surah Sad on the pulpit. When he reached the place of prostration (in the surah), he descended and prostrated himself and the people prostrated with him. When the next day came, he recited it. When he reached the place of prostration (in the surah), the people became ready for prostration. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: This is the repentance of a Prophet (ﷺ) ; but I saw you being ready for prostration. So he descended and prostrated himself and the people prostrated along with him.
