Hello Adil,
Probably, both embraced Islam having said the shahada and then
joined the prayer ?

AntiSpam] [IslamCity] The One who did Sajdah to Allah
The One who did Sajdah to
Allah
The following incident was mentioned by
brother Aslam Nakhuda during a lecture that he gave on 24/1/2004. Brother
Aslam is an Imam of Jame Masjid Brampton in Canada.
He said that
three years back a group of eight brothers, including him, set out to
Texas, USA for dawah. They spent sometime there to remind the residents
about the reality of this life. On their way back, they stopped by a
service station beside a highway to perform the Magrib prayer. One of the
brothers gave the Adhan (Call to prayer). Two Non Muslim men were passing
by when the Adhan was being called. Being curious, they came to the
brothers and asked them who they were, where do they come from and what
they were doing. The brothers told them that they are Muslims who are
coming from Toronto, Canada with the glad tidings of Islam. A scholar, who
was with them, discussed about Islam with the non-Muslim men for 2 or 3
minutes. Then the brothers prepared to offer the salah. The non Muslims
who were standing by asked what they should be doing now. The brothers
told them to join the prayer and just follow along. The two men decided to
join the prayer. The imam recited Surah Fatiha and another surah after it.
Then he went to Ruku' and both the Non Muslims did the same. When time for
sajdah (prostration on the ground) came, the Non Muslims started
hesitating and didn't know whether they should also prostrate on the
ground as they never did this before. One of them decided not to do so and
he left the prayer. However, the other one just went to sajdah. After the
prayer, this person who agreed to prostrate to Allah was blessed with
iman. He accepted Islam from the brothers.
Dear readers, this is
what we have to do. We have to submit to the will of Allah and in return
He will bless us with iman. On the other hand, a person who is arrogant
and decide not to submit to the will of Allah may just be deprived of
iman.
