Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surah Sad while he was on the pulpit. When he reached the place of prostration, he descended from the pulpit. He performed the prostration of recitation, and the people with him also performed the prostration. When the next day came, he recited (again), and when he reached the place of prostration of recitation, the people got ready to prostrate. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is an incident of a prophet's repentance, but I see you are ready to prostrate. Then he descended from the pulpit, performed the prostration, and the people also performed the prostration.
