When we recite the Holy Qur'an,there comes the fourteenth points where there are the verses of Prostration,my question is do we need to perform prostration when we listen to the respective verse?
Answer: Normally this is believed that we need to perform sajida/ prostration There is a book of Prostration in Sahih Bukhari on this subject as well one must go through it for clear understanding.However, I am referring one hadith that will answer your question.
Narrated Rabi`a: `Umar bin Al-Khattab recited Surat-an-Nahl on a Friday on the pulpit and when he reached the verse of Sajda he got down from the pulpit and prostrated and the people also 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.
