Musnad of al-Bara bin Azib
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1697 — he said: We used to pray behind the Messenger
حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ النَّرْسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ ، وَكَانَ غَيْرَ كَذُوبٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا نُصَلِّي خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَإِذَا قَالَ : سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ، لَمْ يَحْنِ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا ظَهْرَهُ حَتَّى يَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - جَبْهَتَهُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ، فَإِذَا وَضَعَ جَبْهَتَهُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ خَرَرْنَا سُجُودًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him), and he was never one to lie, that he said: "We used to pray behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When he (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah' (Allah has heard the one who praised Him), none of us would bend his back until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had placed his forehead on the ground; then, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) had placed his forehead on the ground, we would fall down in prostration."
