Hadith #335
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ النَّجْمِ فَسَجَدَ
وَمَا بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا سَجَدَ إِلَّا رَجُلًا رَفَعَ كَفًّا مِنْ حَصًى فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَقَالَ يَكْفِينِي هَذَا قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قُتِلَ كَافِرًا

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Affan, from Shu'ba, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Aswad — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited Surah al-Najm [53] and prostrated — and no one among the people remained except that he prostrated, except one man who raised a handful of pebbles and placed them on his forehead, saying: "This is enough for me." 'Abdullah said: 'I later saw him killed as an unbeliever.'
