1412. It was reported from 'Ubaidullāh, from Nāfi', from Ibn Umar who said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would recite a Sūrah to us,” Ibn Numair (one of the narrators) said: “outside of the prayer” — and then they were in accord[1] — “and he would prostrate, so we would prostrate with him, so much so that some of us would not find space to place our foreheads.” (Sahih)
1412 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي شُعَيْبٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ الْمَعْنَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْنَا السُّورَةَ -، قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ: فِي غَيْرِ الصَّلَاةِ، ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا: - فَيَسْجُدُ وَنَسْجُدُ مَعَهُ، حَتَّى لَا يَجِدَ أَحَدُنَا مَكَانًا لِمَوْضِعِ جَبْهَتِهِ "

[1] Meaning the narrators, since the author heard this from two different narrators.
During the group prayer, the followers follow the Imām; in the case of a reciter outside of the prayer, if he recites a Verse of prostration and others hear that, there is no connection between them as there is during the prayer. Hence, the durations of their prostrations need not be the same. One may perform a long prostration, the other a short one. One may lift up one's head before the other. Similarly, if the reciter does not prostrate, the listener, whether man, woman or child, may, with Wudū' or not.
