He recited Surah Inshiqaq and performed a prostration in it. I asked,“O Abu Hurairah! What kind of prostration is this?”He replied,“I performed this prostration following Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him), so I will always continue to perform this prostration until I join him (peace and blessings be upon him).”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed a prostration in the first rak'ah of the Zuhr prayer.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite a Surah containing a verse of prostration before us, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was not in prayer. Then, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the prostration of recitation, we would also prostrate along with him (peace and blessings be upon him), to the extent that some of us would not even find a place to put our foreheads down.

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to teach us the Qur'an.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, recited Surah An-Najm and performed prostration, and the people also performed prostration along with him, peace and blessings be upon him and his family.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mutlib bin Abu Wada‘ah Sahmi, he says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surah An-Najm in Makkah and performed sajdah (prostration), and those who were with him also performed sajdah. However, I raised my head and refused to perform sajdah. In fact, Sayyiduna Mutlib (may Allah be pleased with him) had not yet embraced Islam at that time. After accepting Islam, whenever he heard anyone reciting it, he would perform sajdah.
