Sunan Abi Dawud 1406 (Book 7, Hadith 6) #21698
Prostration to Allah is Necessary

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) recited a Surah and everyone prostrated except for one man who said that raising dust to his face was enough for him. He was later killed as an infidel.

Narrated 'Abd Allah (b. Mas'ud): The Messenger of Allah recited Surah al-Najm and prostrated himself. No one remained there who did not prostrate (along with him). A man from the people took a handful of pebbles or dust and raised it to his face saying: This is enough for me'.Abd Allah (b. Mas'ud) said: I later saw him killed as an infidel.
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ النَّجْمِ فَسَجَدَ فِيهَا وَمَا بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ إِلاَّ سَجَدَ فَأَخَذَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ كَفًّا مِنْ حَصًى أَوْ تُرَابٍ فَرَفَعَهُ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ وَقَالَ يَكْفِينِي هَذَا ‏.‏ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قُتِلَ كَافِرًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us about the importance of prostrating to Allah when we recite the Quran. It is narrated by 'Abd Allah b. Mas'ud that when the Prophet Muhammad recited a surah from the Quran, everyone present prostrated themselves in reverence and respect towards God except for one man who instead raised dust to his face saying it was enough for him. As a result of this action he was later killed as an infidel which shows us how important it is to show our respect and reverence towards God through prostration when we recite His words from the Quran. We should always remember that no matter what we do or say in life, nothing can replace our devotion and worship towards God Almighty and His words should be taken seriously at all times.
