Musnad Ahmad 20509

Translation

✧ I arrived while the Prophet of God ﷺ was bowing, and I was out of breath, so I bowed before the row. When the Messenger of God ﷺ finished the prayer, he said: Which of you bowed before the row? I said: I did. He said: May God increase you in keenness, but do not do it again.
