وَعَن مَيْمُونَة قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا سَجَدَ جَافَى بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى لَوْ أَنَّ بَهْمَةً أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَمُرَّ تَحْتَ يَدَيْهِ مرت. هَذَا لفظ أبي دَاوُد كَمَا صَرَّحَ فِي شَرْحِ السُّنَّةِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَلِمُسْلِمٍ بِمَعْنَاهُ: قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا سجد لوشاءت بهمة أَن تمر بَين يَدَيْهِ لمرت
'Ikrima said that when Ibn ‘Abbas was told that a certain wife of the Prophet had died, he prostrated himself. Someone asked him why he made prostration at such a time, and he replied, “God’s Messenger told us to prostrate ourselves when we saw a sign, and what sign is greater than the departure of the Prophet's wives?”
Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi transmitted it.
