Chapter 7 · Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat): Prostration while reciting the Qur'anحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ الْعَتَمَةَ، فَقَرَأَ: إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ، فَسَجَدَ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا هَذِهِ السَّجْدَةُ ؟ قَالَ: سَجَدْتُ بِهَا خَلْفَ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَا أَزَالُ أَسْجُدُ بِهَا حَتَّى أَلْقَاهُ .

I offered the night prayer behind Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ . He recited Surah Inshiqaq ( When the sky is rent asunder ) and prostrated himself. I asked him: What is this prostration ? He replied: I prostrated myself on account of this (surah) behind Abu al-Qasim (i.e. the Prophet). I shall continue prostrating on account of this till I meet him.
