It was
narrated that Mu’awiyah bin Abu Sufyan said:
“The Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Do not bow or prostrate before me. No matter how
far ahead of you I bow, you will catch up with me when I stand up,
and
no matter how far ahead of you I prostrate, you will catch up
with me
when I raise my head. I have become bulky.’”
