and the like. This is not correct. Moreover, if he recites it outside the prayer and does not prostrate, has he done something disliked?

As for their saying, “Or he may prostrate and confuse those praying behind him,” we reply: this may indeed happen. Thus, if he prostrates, they may say, “Glory be to Allah,” to alert him, thinking that he has forgotten to bow. Perhaps, if he refuses to rise and remains in prostration, they will cease following him and say, “He has deliberately omitted an essential pillar, so we will not follow him.” Yet this confusion can be avoided if he raises his voice slightly when reciting the verse of prostration. If he raises his voice at the verse of prostration, the people will prostrate. But it may be said: only those who know that it is a verse of prostration will prostrate, whereas those who do not know will not.

Accordingly, we say: if confusion will result, then do not recite it; or recite it but do not prostrate. For if he recites it without prostrating, he has not done anything disliked. However, it is reported in the Sunan collections, through a chain of transmission open to question, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, recited Surah al-Sajdah in the Dhuhr prayer and prostrated during it. (1) If this hadith were authentic, it would settle the dispute conclusively, and we would say that it is permissible to recite a verse of prostration in a silent prayer and to prostrate upon it, just as the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did.

THE FOLLOWER IS REQUIRED TO FOLLOW HIM IN CASES OTHER THAN THIS ………

His statement: “The follower is required to follow him in cases other than this.”

(1) Reported by Imam Ahmad, 2:83; and Abu Dawud, Book of Prayer, chapter: The Amount of Recitation in the Zuhr and Asr Prayers, no. 807. Ibn Hajar said: “It is authentically reported from Ibn Umar that the Prophet recited a surah containing a prostration verse in the Zuhr prayer and prostrated with them.” Shaykh Abd al-Aziz ibn Baz commented: “There is room for scrutiny in declaring it authentic; the correct view is that it is weak.” Fath al-Bari, 2:378.
وما أشبه ذلك. وهذا ليس بصحيح. وأيضاً: أليس إذا قرأها خارجَ الصَّلاة ولم يسجد لم يفعل مكروهاً؟ وأما قولهم: أو يسجدُ ويشوِّشُ على المأمومين، فنقول: هذا قد يكون؛ ولهذا لو سَجَدَ سَبَّحوا به، ظَنًّا منهم أنَّه نسي الرُّكوع، ورُبَّما إذا أبى واستمرَّ ساجداً تركوه، وقالوا: تَرَكَ رُكناً متعمِّداً فلا نتابعه، لكن هذا يمكن أن يزول بأن يرفع صوته قليلاً عند آية السَّجدة، فإذا رَفع صوتَه بآية السَّجدة سَجَدَ النَّاسُ، لكن رُبَّما يُقالُ: يسجدُ مَن يعرفُ أنَّ هذه الآية آية سجدة، لكن مَنْ لا يعرف لا يسجد. وعليه فنقول: إذا حَصَلَ تشويش لا تقرأْ، أو اقرأْ ولا تسجد، لأنه إذا قرأَ ولم يسجدْ لم يأتِ مكروهاً، لكن قد وَرَدَ في السُّنَن بسندٍ فيه نظر أنَّ الرسول ﷺ: «قرأ في صلاة الظُّهر ﴿الم تنزيل السَّجدة﴾ وسَجَدَ فيها» (١) فلو صَحَّ هذا الحديث لكان فاصلاً للنِّزاع، وقلنا: إنَّه يجوزُ أن يقرأَ آيةَ سجدة في صلاة السِّرِّ، ويسجدَ فيها كما فَعَلَ النَّبيُّ ﷺ. وَيَلْزَمُ المَأْمُومَ مُتَابَعَتُهُ فِي غَيْرِهَا .......... قوله: «ويلزم المأموم متابعته في غيرها» أي: يلزم المأموم إذا سجد إمامه أن يتابعه.
(١) أخرجه الإمام أحمد (٢/ ٨٣)؛ وأبو داود، كتاب الصلاة، باب قَدْر القراءة في صلاة الظهر والعصر (٨٠٧). قال ابن حجر ﵀: «صح من حديث ابن عمر أنه ﷺ قرأ سورة فيها سجدة في صلاة الظهر فسجد بهم». وعلّق عليه سماحة الشيخ عبد العزيز بن باز ﵀ بقوله: «في تصحيحه نظر، والصواب: أنه ضعيف». «فتح الباري» (٢/ ٣٧٨).
