حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

رضى الله عنهما قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَسْجُدَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَعْظُمٍ عَلَى الْجَبْهَةِ وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ وَالْيَدَيْنِ، وَالرُّكْبَتَيْنِ وَأَطْرَافِ الْقَدَمَيْنِ، وَلَا نَكْفِتَ الثِّيَابَ وَالشَّعَرَ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “I have been ordered to prostrate on seven bones i.e. on the forehead along with the tip of the nose and the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) pointed towards his nose, both hands, both knees and the toes of both feet and not to gather the clothes or the hair.”

ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী ইরশাদ করেছেনঃ আমি সাতটি অঙ্গের দ্বারা সিজদা্ করার জন্য নির্দেশিত হয়েছি। কপাল দ্বারা এবং তিনি হাত দিয়ে নাকের প্রতি ইশারা করে এর অন্তর্ভুক্ত করেন, আর দু’ হাত, দু’ হাঁটু এবং দু’ পায়ের আঙ্গুলসমূহ দ্বারা। আর আমরা যেন চুল ও কাপড় গুটিয়ে না নেই। (৮০৯)

ہم سے معلی بن اسد نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے وہیب بن خالد نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے عبداللہ بن طاؤس سے، انہوں نے اپنے باپ سے، انہوں نے ابن عباس رضی اللہ عنہما سے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا مجھے سات اعضاء پر سجدہ کرنے کا حکم ہوا ہے۔

پیشانی پر اور اپنے ہاتھ سے ناک کی طرف اشارہ کیا اور دونوں ہاتھ اور دونوں گھٹنے اور دونوں پاؤں کی انگلیوں پر۔ اس طرح کہ ہم نہ کپڑے سمیٹیں نہ بال۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Mu'alla bin Asad] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Wuhaib] dari ['Abdullah bin Thawus] dari [Bapaknya] dari [Ibnu 'Abbas] radliallahu 'anhu, ia berkata, "Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Aku diperintahkan untuk melaksanakan sujud dengan tujuh tulang (anggota sujud); kening -beliau lantas memberi isyarat dengan tangannya menunjuk hidung- kedua telapak tangan, kedua lutut dan ujung jari dari kedua kaki dan tidak boleh menahan rambut atau pakaian (sehingga menghalangi anggota sujud)

İbn Abbas (r.a.) Resûlullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in şöyle dediğini nakletmiştir: "Bana yedi aza üzerine secde etmem emrolundu: Alın - bu sırada mübarek eliyle burnuna da işaret buyurdular - iki el, iki diz ve ayakların uçları. Ayrıca namazda iken elbiselerimizle ve saçımızla başımızla oynamamamız emredildi." باب: السجود على الأنف والسجود على طين. 135. Secdede Burnu Yere Değdirmek Ve Çamura Secde Etmek

Sahih al-Bukhari 812, Book 10, Call to Prayers (Adhaan), Hadith 207. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that Allah commanded him to prostrate in prayer on seven body parts, which are: First: The forehead, i.e., the upper part of the face above the nose and eyes. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed with his hand to his nose to clarify that the forehead and the nose represent one part of the seven and to stress the fact that one must touch the ground with his nose in prostration. The second and third parts: The two hands. The fourth and fifth: The knees. The sixth and seventh: The toes of both feet. He commanded us not to tie our hair or fold up our clothes when prostrating on the ground to protect them; rather, we should let them spread out and fall on the ground to prostrate along with the body parts.

What it teaches

  • It is a must in prayer to prostrate on the seven parts.
  • It is disliked to tuck up and fold back the clothes and hair in prayer.
  • The one praying must maintain his composure during his prayer by placing the seven parts included in Sujūd (prostration) on the ground and resting on them until he recites the prescribed Dhikr (remembrance of Allah).
  • The prohibition of folding back the hair is exclusively prescribed for men apart from women, who are commanded to cover themselves in prayer.
