Sunan Abi DawudHadith Number 1415
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْعَطَّارُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَحْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتُ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَمِيمَةَ الْهُجَيْمِيُّ، قَالَ لَمَّا بَعَثْنَا الرَّكْبَ - قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ يَعْنِي إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ - كُنْتُ أَقُصُّ بَعْدَ صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ فَأَسْجُدُ فَنَهَانِي ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَلَمْ أَنْتَهِ ثَلاَثَ مِرَارٍ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ - رضى الله عنهم - فَلَمْ يَسْجُدُوا حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ .
AbuTamimah al-Hujaymi Narrated from:
When we came to Medina accompanying the caravan, I used to preach after the dawn prayer, and prostrate on account of the recitation of the Qur'an. Ibn Umar prohibited me three times, but I did not cease doing that. He then repeated (his prohibition) saying: I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), AbuBakr, Umar and Uthman, they would not prostrate (on account of the recitation of the Qur'an) till the sun had risen.

Summary of Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith 1415
This hadith is about the timing of sujud tilawah after the dawn prayer. Abu Tamimah al-Hujaymi says he used to preach after Fajr and prostrate because of Qur'an recitation. Ibn Umar stopped him three times. Then Ibn Umar explained that he had prayed behind the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم, Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman, and they would not prostrate on account of Qur'an recitation until the sun had risen. For searches like sujud tilawah after Fajr, sajdah tilawat after dawn prayer, and Ibn Umar prostration after Fajr, this narration gives the reported practice he used as his reason. The text is focused on waiting until sunrise in this setting.
What we learn from this hadith
- Abu Tamimah used to prostrate after Fajr due to Qur'an recitation.
- Ibn Umar stopped him more than once.
- Ibn Umar cited the practice of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the first three caliphs.
- The report specifically mentions waiting until the sun had risen.
