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.
