[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed a prayer and Suraqah said to us, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for us one day, then he ascended the pulpit and said about the prayer and in the bowing position, then he said, 'I see you from behind me as I see you from in front of me.'"  

أحمد:١٣٣٨٢حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ وَسُرَيْجٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ يُونُسُ قَالَ

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةً وَقَالَ سُرَيْجٌ صَلَّى لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا صَلَاةً ثُمَّ رَقِيَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَقَالَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَفِي الرُّكُوعِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَرَاكُمْ مِنْ وَرَائِي كَمَا أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِي
