حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي الدَّبَّاغَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الدَّانَاجِ حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ فَكَانَ إِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ كَبَّرَ قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ لَا أُمَّ لَكَ أَوَلَيْسَتْ تِلْكَ سُنَّةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2257
Tkrimah, the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: I prayed behind Abu Hurairah; when he bowed, and when he prostrated, he said Allahu Akbar. I mentioned that to Ibn 'Abbas and he said: May you have no mother! Isn't that the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)?
