Hadith 39
The Book of Prayers
Al-Bara' reported, and he was no liar:
When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Allah listened to him who praised Him, none of us bent his back till he (the Prophet) prostrated; we then, afterwards, went down in prostration.
وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ خَلاَّدٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ - حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنِي الْبَرَاءُ، - وَهُوَ غَيْرُ كَذُوبٍ - قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا قَالَ
سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ
