Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a person recites a verse of prostration and then performs prostration, Satan withdraws weeping to one side and says: Woe to him or to me! Man was commanded to prostrate and he prostrated, so Paradise is for him. And I was commanded to prostrate and I refused, so Hell is for me.
