Hadith No.: 1389

1389 - (ق) عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم إِذَا قَالَ: (سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ) ، لَمْ يَحْنِ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا ظَهْرَهُ، حَتَّى يَقَعَ النَّبِيُّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم سَاجِداً، ثُمَّ نَقَعُ سُجُوداً بَعْدَهُ.

‘Abdullāh ibn Yazīd al-Khatmi al-Ansāri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Al-Barā' - and he is not a liar - said to me: "When the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: ''Allah hears the one who praises Him,' none of us would bend his back until the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) had fallen in prostration. We would then fall in prostration right after him."
