Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ مُنْقِذٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ‏:‏ كَانَ أَكْثَرُ جُلُوسِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَهُوَ مُسْتَقْبِلٌ الْقِبْلَةَ، فَقَرَأَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قُسَيْطٍ سَجْدَةً بَعْدَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ فَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدُوا إِلاَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، فَلَمَّا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ حَلَّ عَبْدُ اللهِ حَبْوَتَهُ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَقَالَ‏:‏ أَلَمْ تَرَ سَجْدَةَ أَصْحَابِكَ‏؟‏ إِنَّهُمْ سَجَدُوا فِي غَيْرِ حِينِ صَلاةٍ‏.‏

Sufyan ibn Munqidh’s father said that Ibn Umar usually sat facing the qibla. When Yazid ibn Abdullah ibn Qusayt recited a prostration verse after sunrise, he prostrated and the others did too, except Ibn Umar. When the sun had risen, Ibn Umar loosened his seated posture and prostrated. He said, “Did you see your companions’ prostration? They prostrated at a time when prayer is not performed.”
