It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he came while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in bowing (ruku‘). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard the sound of Abu Bakrah’s shoes; he was running to catch the ruku‘. After finishing the prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked,“Who was running?”He presented himself. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him,“May Allah increase you in eagerness for religion, but do not do this again.”
