1085. It was narrated that Abū Būshr said: “I heard Yūsuf – meaning Ibn Māhak – narrating that Hākīm said: ‘I gave my pledge of allegiance to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, pledging that I would go down (in prostration) only after standing up from bowing.’” (Sahīh)
1084 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يُوسُفَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مَاهَكَ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ: «بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ لَا أَخِرَّ إِلَّا قَائِمًا»

The meaning of this saying is: I would not directly sink down into the posture of prostration. I would rather stand upright from the bowing posture, and then I would sink down into the prostration.
