ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ قَدْرِ الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ لِلْمُصَلِّي فِي صَلَاتِهِ

[Machine] About Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib, it was reported, "The Prophet ﷺ used to lower his head after bowing (rukoo') and also after prostration (sujood), and his sitting between the two prostrations was close to being equal (to the rest of his body)."  

ابن حبّان:١٨٨٤أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى

عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ «كَانَ رُكُوعُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرَفْعُهُ رَأْسَهُ بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ وَسُجُودُهُ وَجُلُوسُهُ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ قَرِيبًا مِنَ السَّوَاءِ»

nasai:1065Yaʿqūb b. Ibrāhīm > Ibn ʿUlayyah > Shuʿbah > al-Ḥakam > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Abū Laylá > al-Barāʾ b. ʿĀzib

The bowing of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when he raised his head from bowing, and his prostration, and the time between the two prostration, were almost equal in length.  

النسائي:١٠٦٥أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ رُكُوعُهُ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَسُجُودُهُ وَمَا بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ قَرِيبًا مِنَ السَّوَاءِ  

darimi:1372Saʿīd b. al-Rabīʿ > Shuʿbah > al-Ḥakam > Ibn Abū Laylá > al-Barāʾ

The bowing of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when he raised his head from bowing, and his prostration, and the time between the two prostration, were almost equal in length. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1065)  

الدارمي:١٣٧٢أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى حَدَّثَنِي الْبَرَاءُ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ «رُكُوعُهُ إِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَسُجُودُهُ وَبَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ قَرِيبًا مِنَ السَّوَاءِ»
