وحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، قَالَ : صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ صَلَاةَ الْعَتَمَةِ ، " فَقَرَأَ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ فَسَجَدَ فِيهَا " ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : مَا هَذِهِ السَّجْدَةُ ؟ فَقَالَ : سَجَدْتُ بِهَا خَلْفَ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَلَا أَزَالُ أَسْجُدُ بِهَا حَتَّى أَلْقَاهُ ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى : فَلَا أَزَالُ أَسْجُدُهَا .
Abu Rafi' reported: I said the night prayer along with Abu Hurairah (RA) and -as he recited: "When the heaven burst asunder," he performed prostration. I said to him: What prostration is this? He said: I prostrated myself (on this occasion of recital) behind Abu'I-Qasim (Muhammad. may peace be upon him), and I would go on doing this till I meet him (in the next world). Ibn 'Abu al-A'la said: ( Abu Hurairah (RA) uttered this:) I would not abandon performing prostration.
