عن عبد الله بن يزيد الخطمي الأنصاري رضي الله عنه قال: حدثني البراء -وهو غير كَذُوبٍ- قال: «كان رسول الله ﷺ إذا قال: سمع الله لمن حمده: لم يَحٍنِ أحدٌ منا ظهره حتى يقع رسول الله ﷺ ساجدًا، ثم نقع سجودًا بعده».
‘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."
This truthful Companion (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to lead his Companions in prayer, and they would perform the movements of prayer after he had performed them. When he raised his head from Rukū‘ and said: "Allah hears the one who praises Him,'' they would raise their heads after him. When he had reached the ground in prostration, they would then fall in prostration after him.
