حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَکَّارُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ أَبِي بَکْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي بَکْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَاهُ أَمْرٌ فَسُرَّ بِهِ فَخَرَّ لِلَّهِ سَاجِدًا قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ بَکَّارِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَی هَذَا عِنْدَ أَکْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ رَأَوْا سَجْدَةَ الشُّکْرِ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1578
Narrated Abu Bakrah: The Prophet (ﷺ) was met by some affair that made him happy, so he prostrated to Allah. [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Gharib, we do not know of it except from this route, as a narration of Bakkar bin 'Abdul-'Aziz. This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge, they held the view that one could perform the prostration of gratitude. And Bakkar bin 'Adbul-'Aziz bin Abi Bakrah is Muqarib (average) in Hadith.
