prostrated. The next Friday 'Umar bin Al-Khattab recited
the same Sura and when he reached the verse of Sajda he
said, "O people! When we recite the verses of Sajda (during
the sermon) whoever prostrates does the right thing, yet
it is no sin for the one who does not prostrate." And 'Umar
did not prostrate (that day). Added Ibn 'Umar "Allah has
not made the prostration of recitation compulsory but if
we wish we can do it."
