Musnad Ahmad 20435

Translation

✧ Abu Bakrah came and found the Prophet ﷺ in the state of ruku (bowing) in prayer. He heard the sound of Abu Bakrah's sandals as he approached, intending to catch up with the rakah (unit of prayer). When the Prophet ﷺ finished the prayer and stood up, he asked, "Who was striving?" Abu Bakrah replied, "It was me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "May Allah increase your eagerness, and do not repeat it."
