حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُعَاذُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ قَالَا أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ يَحْيَی عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَرَأَ إِذَا السَّمَائُ انْشَقَّتْ فَسَجَدَ بِهَا فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ أَلَمْ أَرَکَ تَسْجُدُ قَالَ لَوْ لَمْ أَرَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْجُدُ لَمْ أَسْجُدْ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 1074
Narrated Abu Salma: I saw Abu Huraira reciting Idha-Sama' un-Shaqqat and he prostrated during its recitation. I asked Abu Huraira, "Didn't I see you prostrating?" Abu Huraira said, "Had I not seen the Prophet prostrating, I would not have prostrated."
