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 ‏.‏

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.
