Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would recite a verse of prostration in our presence and perform prostration, so we would also prostrate with him (due to the crowd) in such a way that there would not even be enough space to place our foreheads where we performed prostration.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once in Makkah, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surah An-Najm and performed a prostration. All those who were with him (Muslims and disbelievers) also prostrated along with him. However, an old man (Umayyah bin Khalaf) picked up some pebbles or soil in his hand and brought it up to his forehead and said, "This is sufficient for me." I saw that later that old man remained a disbeliever and was killed.

Ata bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him) asked Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) about this matter. He expressed with certainty that he had recited Surah An-Najm before the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not perform sajdah (prostration) in it.

Hazrat Abu Rafi' narrates that I offered the 'Isha prayer with Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him). He recited "Idha al-sama'unshaqqat" and performed a prostration (sajdah). I asked him, "What is this prostration?" He replied, "In this surah, I performed a prostration behind Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him), so I will always perform a prostration in it until I meet him (peace and blessings be upon him)."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I used to know that the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had ended because of the takbeer.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that two old Jewish women from Medina came to me and said that the people of the graves will be punished in their graves, but I denied them and could not confirm what they said. Then both women left, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived, so I said, "O Messenger of Allah, two old women..." and then I mentioned the incident to you. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "They have spoken the truth; the people of the graves will be punished, and all animals will hear their punishment." Then I saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began to seek Allah's refuge from the punishment of the grave after every prayer.

Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) seeking refuge from the trial of the Dajjal in prayer.

The noble wife of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her), said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to recite this supplication in prayer: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, I seek refuge in You from the trials of life and death, I seek refuge in You from the trial of the Dajjal, and O Allah, I seek refuge in You from sins and from debt." Someone (i.e., Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her) said to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that you seek refuge from debt very frequently. Upon this, he replied that when a person becomes indebted, he tells lies and breaks promises.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate in this way: O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, and from the punishment of Hell, and from the trials of life and death, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of the false messiah (Dajjal).

The scribe of Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him), Warad, narrated that Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) had him write to Sayyiduna Mu’awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) in a letter that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite this supplication after every obligatory prayer:“There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, sovereignty belongs to Him and all praise is for Him, and He is powerful over everything. O Allah, there is none who can withhold what You give, and none who can give what You withhold, and the wealth of the wealthy will not benefit them in Your presence.”
