حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، بَكَّارِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا جَاءَهُ أَمْرُ سُرُورٍ أَوْ بُشِّرَ بِهِ خَرَّ سَاجِدًا شَاكِرًا لِلَّهِ

When anything came to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) which caused pleasure (or, by which he was made glad), he prostrated himself in gratitude to Allah.

আবূ বাকরাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর কাছে কোনো খুশির খবর আসলে অথবা তিনি কোনো সুসংবাদ পেলে আল্লাহর কাছে শুকরিয়াস্বরূপ সিজদায় পড়ে যেতেন।

ابوبکرہ رضی اللہ عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے پاس جب کوئی خوشی کی بات آتی یا آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو کوئی خوشخبری سنائی جاتی تو اللہ کا شکر ادا کرتے ہوئے سجدہ میں گر پڑتے ۱؎۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Makhlad bin Khalid], telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu 'Ashim] dari [Abu Bakrah Bakkar bin Abdul Aziz], telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Ayahku yaitu Abdul Aziz] dari [Abu Bakrah] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bahwa apabila terdapat perkara perkara yang menyenangkan atau beliau dibei kabar gembira maka beliau bersujud untuk bersyukur kepada Allah

Ebû Bekre'den demiştir ki: Nebi sallallahu aleyhi ve selleme, sevindirici bir haber ulaşınca veya kendisine bir müjde verilince Allah'a secde-i şükr ederek yere kapanırdı

What it means

The noble Hadīth shows the attitude of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) every time he received good news or glad tidings. He used to fall down in prostration expressing gratitude to Allah, the Almighty. Prostration of gratitude has been made permissible on the occasion of receiving a new blessing. However, it is not permissible in case of constant blessings such as the blessings of Islam, health, richness, and the like.

This is because the blessings of Allah are perpetual and uninterrupted. Had prostration been made permissible for such type of constant blessings, then one would have spent his whole life in prostration. Rather, expressing gratitude for such blessings should be by worshiping and obeying Allah, the Almighty.
