It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I was standing in the courtyard of the mosque when I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) coming out of the door that faces the graveyard. I waited a little, then went out after him and saw that he (peace and blessings be upon him) had entered one of the gardens of al-Aswaf. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution, then prayed two rak'ahs, and made one prostration so long (that I became worried). When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished the tashahhud, I came before him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "May my father and mother be ransomed for you! You made such a prostration that, because of its length, I feared that Allah might have taken your soul." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibril gave me the glad tidings that whoever sends blessings (salah) upon me, Allah will send mercy upon him, and whoever sends salam upon me, Allah will send peace upon him."
