460 – It is narrated from the words of Abu Qatada that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“If one of you comes to the mosque, let him pray two prostrations before sitting down and then, if he wishes, he may remain sitting or go about his business.”
This hadith was narrated by Abu Dawood 467.
Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith authentic. See Sahih al-jami ‘as-Saghir 460.
