Abu Rafi' reported: I saw Abu Hurairah (RA) performing prostration (while reciting this verse: )" When the heaven burst asunder." I said to him: Do you prostrate yourself (while reciting)? He said: Yes, I saw my best Friend (ﷺ) prostrating himself on (the recital of this verse) and I shall continue prostrating till I meet him. Shu'bah asked: Do you mean (by Friend) the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) ? He said: Yes.
