Mukhtasar Muslim

Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I offered the ‘Isha prayer with Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), and in it he recited “Idha as-samaa’un shaqqat” (the Surah), and performed a prostration in it. (After the prayer) I asked, “What kind of prostration did you perform?” He replied, “I performed this prostration behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I will continue to do it until I meet him.” (Meaning, I will continue to do it for the rest of my life.)
