Arabic hadith text

عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا نُصَلِّي خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِذَا قَالَ: «سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ» . لَمْ يَحْنِ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا ظَهْرَهُ حَتَّى يَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسلم جَبهته على الأَرْض

Al-Bara ibn Azib said: We used to pray behind the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. When he said, God hears whoever praises Him, none of us would bend his back until the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, placed his forehead on the ground.
