Sahih al-Bukhari 3422 (Book 60, Hadith 94) #3272
Prostrating During Recitation of Sura-Sa'd

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was not obligated to prostrate when reciting Sura-Sa'd, but he did so anyway.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The prostration in Sura-Sa'd is not amongst the compulsory prostrations, though I saw the Prophet prostrating on reciting it.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ لَيْسَ ‏{‏ص‏}‏ مِنْ عَزَائِمِ السُّجُودِ، وَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَسْجُدُ فِيهَا‏.‏
