حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ أَنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ زُرَيْعٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ زِيَادٍ الْأَعْلَمِ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ أَنَّ أَبَا بَکْرَةَ حَدَّثَ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَنَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَاکِعٌ قَالَ فَرَکَعْتُ دُونَ الصَّفِّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَادَکَ اللَّهُ حِرْصًا وَلَا تَعُدْ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 683
Abu Bakrah said that he came to the mosque when the prophet ﷺ was bowing. So I bowed outside the row (before joining it). The prophet ﷺ said; May Allah increase your eagerness! But do not do it again.
