This hadith is listed as number 1062 in Maktaba Shamila
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاق ، قَالَ : ح وحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي الْبَرَاءُ وَهُوَ غَيْرُ كَذُوبٍ : " أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُصَلُّونَ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ ، لَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا يَحْنِي ظَهْرَهُ ، حَتَّى يَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَبْهَتَهُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ ، ثُمَّ يَخِرُّ مَنْ وَرَاءَهُ سُجَّدًا " .
Al-Bara' (b. 'Azib), and he was no liar (but a truthful Companion of the Holy Prophet), reported: They used to say prayer behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . I never saw anyone bending his back at the time when he (the Holy Prophet) raised his head, till the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) placed his forehead on the ground. They then fell in prostration after him.
