English Translation
Yazid narrated to us, Ibn Abi Dhi'b informed us, from Ajlan, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, indeed I look behind me just as I look in front of me. Straighten your rows and perfect your bowing and prostration, for indeed I see you from behind my back.'
