Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 959
This Hadith about An-Najm prostration is short and clear. Abdullah narrated that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم recited Surah An-Najm and prostrated during it. The hadith does not add a location, a long description of who was present, or a detailed ruling. It simply reports the Prophet’s action during the recitation of this surah. That makes it easy for readers looking for a sujud tilawah hadith connected to An-Najm. The core message is that recitation of this surah was followed by prostration in the report. The wording should be understood as a direct narration of what Abdullah saw or transmitted from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.
