Sajdah-e-Tilaawat

Q: Is it mandatory to make sajda-e-tilaawat when reciting the 14 sajda verses of the Qur'an?

Please refer to the Sahih Hadith mentioned below which says it is optional. Narrated Rabi`a RA: `Umar bin Al-Khattab RA 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." (Bukhari - Vol. 2, Book 19, Hadith 183)
