1046. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbās said: "The Prophet ﷺ drew back the curtain when the people were in rows behind Abū Bakr, may Allāh be pleased with him, and said: 'O people, there is nothing left of the features of Prophethood except a good dream that a Muslim sees or is seen by others for him.' Then he said: Verily, I have been forbidden from reciting the Qur'an when bowing or prostrating. As for bowing, glorify the Lord therein, and as for prostration, strive hard in supplication, for it is more deserving of a response.” (Sahih)

Commentary
1. These utterances of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ are those of the last day of his blessed life.
2. The Prophet ﷺ could be given glad tidings by means of Revelation but his adherents or followers could be given it merely by means of dreams or occasionally by inner inspiration. Because his death was imminent and the coming of Revelation was about to cease, he ﷺ spoke the above-mentioned words.
