Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not precede me in bowing (ruku) and prostration (sujud), because as much as I bow before you, that much time you will get when I rise from bowing, and as much as I prostrate before you, that much time you will get when I rise from prostration, because my body has become heavy.
