Sahih Muslim Book - 4, Hadith - 1074

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ أَخْبَرَنِى سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سُحَيْمٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ كَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- السِّتَارَةَ وَالنَّاسُ صُفُوفٌ خَلْفَ أَبِى بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ « أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْ مُبَشِّرَاتِ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلاَّ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ يَرَاهَا الْمُسْلِمُ أَوْ تُرَى لَهُ أَلاَ وَإِنِّى نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ رَاكِعًا أَوْ سَاجِدًا فَأَمَّا الرُّكُوعُ فَعَظِّمُوا فِيهِ الرَّبَّ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَأَمَّا السُّجُودُ فَاجْتَهِدُوا فِى الدُّعَاءِ فَقَمِنٌ أَنْ يُسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ ».

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) (during his fatal illness) drew back the curtain and the people were lined up in rows behind Abu Bakr. He said: 'O people, there is nothing left of the glad tidings of Prophet-hood except a good dream that a Muslim sees or that is seen for him. Be it-known that I have been forbidden to recite the Qur'an when bowing or prostrating. As for bowing, glorify your Lord [the Mighty and Sublime] therein, and as for prostrating, strive in supplication, for it is deserving of a response (from your Lord)."'
