Jami at-Tirmidhi 3891 (Book 49, Hadith 291) #29553
Prostrating Upon Seeing a Sign

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of prostrating when one sees a sign, and how even Ibn Abbas did so upon hearing the news of one of the Prophet's wives passing away.

Narrated 'Ikrimah: "After Salat As-Subh, it was said to Ibn 'Abbas that so-and-so - one of the wives of the Prophet - has died, so he prostrated. So it was said to him: 'Do you prostrate at this hour?' So he said: 'Has not the Messenger of Allah already said: 'If you see a sign then prostrate?' Then which sign is grater than the passing of (one of) the wives of the Prophet ?'"
حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّاسٌ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ أَبُو غَسَّانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَلْمُ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَكَانَ ثِقَةً عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبَانَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، قَالَ قِيلَ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ بَعْدَ صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ مَاتَتْ فُلاَنَةُ لِبَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ فَسَجَدَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَتَسْجُدُ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ آيَةً فَاسْجُدُوا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَىُّ آيَةٍ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَهَابِ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ
