أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ يُوسُفَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مَاهَکَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ حَکِيمٍ قَالَ بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ لَا أَخِرَّ إِلَّا قَائِمًا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1089
It was narrated that Abu Bushr said: “I heard Yusuf — meaning Ibn Mahak — narrating that Hakim said: ‘I gave my pledge of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم pledging that I would go down (in prostration) only after standing up from bowing.” (Sahih)
