حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ خَلَّادٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِسْحَقَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَنِي الْبَرَائُ وَهُوَ غَيْرُ کَذُوبٍ قَالَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ لَمْ يَحْنِ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا ظَهْرَهُ حَتَّی يَقَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَاجِدًا ثُمَّ نَقَعُ سُجُودًا بَعْدَهُ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 1063
Al-Bara' (b. 'Azib), and he was no liar (but a truthful Companion of the Holy Prophet), reported: They used to say prayer behind the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). I never saw anyone bending his back at the time when he (the Holy Prophet) raised his head, till the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) placed his forehead on the ground. They then fell in prostration after him.
