Whoever thinks that Allah has not made prostration of recitation compulsory

وَقِيلَ لِعِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ الرَّجُلُ يَسْمَعُ السَّجْدَةَ وَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ لَهَا قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ قَعَدَ لَهَا كَأَنَّهُ لاَ يُوجِبُهُ عَلَيْهِ. وَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ مَا لِهَذَا غَدَوْنَا. وَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِنَّمَا السَّجْدَةُ عَلَى مَنِ اسْتَمَعَهَا. وَقَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ لاَ يَسْجُدُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ طَاهِرًا، فَإِذَا سَجَدْتَ وَأَنْتَ فِي حَضَرٍ فَاسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ، فَإِنْ كُنْتَ رَاكِبًا فَلاَ عَلَيْكَ حَيْثُ كَانَ وَجْهُكَ. وَكَانَ السَّائِبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ لاَ يَسْجُدُ لِسُجُودِ الْقَاصِّ.And 'Imran bin Hussain was asked if a man heard As-Sajda but was not sitting to listen to it (would the prostration be compulsory for him?) He said, "In my opinion, prostration is not compulsory for him even if he were sitting to listen to it." And Salman (who once heard Surat As-Sajda but did not prostrate) said, "I did not come with the intention of listening to it", and 'Uthman رضي الله عنه said, "The prostration is compulsory for the person who listens to it." And Az-Zuhri said, "Do not perform the prostration of recitation without ablution, and when you are a non-traveler, face the Qiblah while performing the prostration of recitation and if you are riding perform it in whatever direction you are facing." And As-Sa'ib bin Yazid did not perform the prostrations of recitation while a story-teller or a preacher was reciting the Verses of prostration. ​​
