English narration

Narrated by أبو هريرة الدوسي

Narrated Abu Rafi: I offered the night prayer behind Abu Hurairah. 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.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا 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
