Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The prostration in Sura-Sad is not amongst the compulsory prostrations, though I saw the Prophet
prostrating on reciting The Statement of Allah:–and to David We gave Solomon (for a son). How ex –
cellent (a) slave he was ever oft-returning in repentance (to us) (38.30) And His Statement:– He
said: My Lord Forgive me and grant me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me.’
(38.35) And His Statement:– ‘And they followed what the Devils gave out (falsely), of magic in the
life-time of Solomon.’ (2.102)
