329 - Chapter on Prostration in {When the heaven is split asunder} and {Read}

1407 - Musaddad narrated to us, Sufyan narrated to us, from Ayyub ibn Musa, from 'Ata' ibn Mina', from Abu Hurayrah, who said: We prostrated with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, in {When the heaven is split asunder} and {Read in the name of your Lord who created}.

Abu Dawud said: Abu Hurayrah embraced Islam in year six, the year of Khaybar, and this prostration of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was among his final actions.
