Sayyid al-sajidin (a)
Sayyid al-Sājidīn (a) (Arabic: سیّد الساجدین), meaning "the Master of Prostrators"[1] is among the epithets of Imam al-Sajjad (a), the fourth Imam of Shi'a. In Ilal al-sharayi', Shaykh al-Saduq mentioned the prostrations of Imam (a) as the proof and transmitted a hadith from Imam al-Baqir (a), "My father (Ali b. Husayn (a)) never mentioned a blessing, except he (a) made a prostration of gratitude and never recited a verse of the Qur'an which had a prostration but he (a) made the prostration for it. Whenever God drew away a danger or trick of a swindler from him, he (a) made a prostration and whenever he (a) finished the prayer, he (a) made a prostration; and whenever he (a) managed to reconcile between two people, he (a) made a prostration and these marks of prostration were on all the seven parts of his body used in prostration and thus he (a) was called "al-Sajjad" (the Prostrator).[2] Al-Sayyid Ni'mat Allah al-Jaza'iri mentioned the reason for giving the epithet of "Sayyid al-Sajidin", the above-mentioned hadith.[3] Baqir Sharif Qurashi too said that in the history of Islam, only Imam al-Sajjad (a) was titled as Sayyid al-Sajidin and Zayn al-Abidin.[4]
