Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ قُرِئَ عَلَى ابْنِ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَكَ هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ وَحَفْصُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَرَأَ بِآيَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فِيهَا سَجْدَةٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَجَدَ الرَّجُلُ وَسَجَدَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ آخَرُ آيَةً فِيهَا سَجْدَةٌ وَهُوَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَانْتَظَرَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَرَأْتُ السَّجْدَةَ فَلَمْ تَسْجُدْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كُنْتَ إِمَامًا فَلَوْ سَجَدْتَ سَجَدْتُ مَعَكَ وَقَدْ
English Translation
Ata' ibn Yasar said: It has reached me that a man recited a verse from the Quran containing a prostration in the presence of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and the man prostrated and the Prophet (peace be upon him) prostrated with him. Then another man recited a verse containing a prostration in the presence of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and the man waited for the Prophet to prostrate, but he did not prostrate. The man said: O Messenger of Allah, I recited the prostration verse, but you did not prostrate. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: You were the imam; had you prostrated, I would have prostrated with you.
