Hadith 1394

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْخُزَاعِيُّ ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ السُّلَمِيُّ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ بَكَّارِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " كَانَ إِذَا أَتَاهُ أَمْرٌ يَسُرُّهُ أَوْ بُشِّرَ بِهِ ، خَرَّ سَاجِدًا شُكْرًا لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى " .
It was narrated from Abu Bakrah that when the Prophet (ﷺ) heard news that made him happy, or for which one should be happy, he would fall down prostrate in gratitude to Allah, the Blessed and Exalted.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
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.
