حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ بَكَّارِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ : إِذَا جَاءَهُ أَمْرُ سُرُورٍ ، أَوْ بُشِّرَ بِهِ خَرَّ سَاجِدًا شَاكِرًا لِلَّهِ .
Narrated Abu Bakrah: When anything came to the Prophet ﷺ which caused pleasure (or, by which he was made glad), he prostrated himself in gratitude to Allah.

Explanation:
1:
The prostration of gratitude (sujud al-shukr) performed by Ka'b ibn Malik radi Allahu anhu is established through authentic narrations, and upon hearing the news of the killing of Musaylimah the Liar, Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu also fell into prostration. Thus, it is legislated to perform the prostration of gratitude upon receiving news that brings happiness and joy to the heart.
