English translation
It is narrated from Muadh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that after returning from Yemen, he submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! I saw the Christians prostrating before their priests and religious leaders. It occurred to my heart that you are more deserving of such reverence, so should we not prostrate to you?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If I were to command anyone to prostrate before another, I would have commanded a woman to prostrate before her husband."
