Prostration During Recital of Qur'an

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhum):
On Fridays the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) used to recite Alf
Lam Mim Tanzil-As-Sajda (in the first Raka) and Hal ata'alal-lnsani i.e.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Masud (Radi-Allahu 'anhum):
The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) recited Suratan-Najm (103) at
Mecca and prostrated while reciting it and those who were with him did the
same except an old man who took a handful of small stones or earth and
lifted it to his forehead and said, "This is sufficient for me." Later on,
I saw him killed as a non-believer.

Eclipses

Narrated Fatima bint Al-Mundhir (Radi-Allahu 'anha):

Asma' bint Al Bakr said, "I came to 'Aisha the wife of the Prophet
(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) during the solar eclipse. The people were
standing and offering the prayer and she was also praying too. I asked her,
'What has happened to the people?' She pointed out with her hand towards
the sky and said, 'Subhan-Allah'. I said, 'Is there a sign?' She pointed
out in the affirmative." Asma' further said, "I too then stood up for the
prayer till I fainted and then poured water on my head.
When Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) had finished his
prayer, he thanked and praised Allah and said, 'I have seen at this place
of mine what I have never seen even Paradise and Hell. No doubt, it has
been inspired to me that you will be put to trial in the graves like or
nearly like the trial of (Masih) Ad-Dajjal. (I do not know which one of the
two Asma' said.) (The angels) will come to everyone of you and will ask
what do you know about this man (i.e. Muhammad). The believer or a firm
believer (I do not know which word Asma' said) will reply, 'He is Muhammad,
Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) who came to us with clear
evidences and guidance, so we accepted his teachings, believed and followed
him.' The angels will then say to him, 'Sleep peacefully as we knew surely
that you were a firm believer.' The hypocrite or doubtful person (I do not
know which word Asma' said) will say, 'I do not know. I heard the people
saying something so I said it (the same).' "
