The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited surah Sad on the pulpit. When he reached the place of prostration (in the surah), he descended and prostrated himself and the people prostrated with him. When the next day came, he recited it. When he reached the place of prostration (in the surah), the people became ready for prostration. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is the repentance of a Prophet ; but I saw you being ready for prostration. So he descended and prostrated himself and the people prostrated along with him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1410)
أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ص وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ السَّجْدَةَ نَزَلَ فَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمًا آخَرَ قَرَأَهَا فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ السَّجْدَةَ تَهَيَّأَ النَّاسُ لِلسُّجُودِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هِيَ تَوْبَةُ نَبِيٍّ وَلَكِنْ رَأَيْتُكُمْ تَهَيَّأْتُمْ لِلسُّجُودِ» فَنَزَلَ وَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ
