and if he prays standing then pray standing, and bow when he
bows, and raise your heads when he raises his head; prostrate
when he prostrates; and if he says "Sami`a l−lahu liman
hamidah", you should say, "Rabbana wa laka l−hamd.:

baa`adta baina l−mashriqi wa l−maghrib. Allahumma, naqqini min
khatayaya kama yunaqqa th−thawbu l−abyadu mina d−danas.

the dwelling place of `Aisha, looked towards the Muslims who

Prophet wanted to come out for the prayer. The Muslims

prayer and then he let the curtain fall. He died in the last
hours of that day.
1.722:
Narrated Jabir bin Samura: The People of Kufa complained
against Sa`d to `Umar and the latter dismissed him and
appointed `Ammar as their chief . They lodged many complaints
against Sa`d and even they alleged that he did not pray
properly. `Umar sent for him and said, "O Aba 'Is−haq! These
people claim that you do not pray properly." Abu 'Is−haq said,
"By Allah, I used to pray with them a prayer similar to that
of Allah's Apostle and I never reduced anything of it. I used
to prolong the first two rak`at of `Isha prayer and shorten
the last two rak`at." `Umar said, "O Aba 'Is−haq, this was
what I thought about you." And then he sent one or more
persons with him to Kufa so as to ask the people about him. So
they went there and did not leave any mosque without asking
about him. All the people praised him till they came to the
mosque of the tribe of Bani `Abs; one of the men called Usama
bin Qatada with a surname of Aba Sa`da stood up and said, "As
you have put us under an oath; I am bound to tell you that
Sa`d never went himself with the army and never distributed
(the war booty) equally and never did justice in legal
verdicts." (On hearing it) Sa`d said, "I pray to Allah for
three things: O Allah! If this slave of yours is a liar and
got up for showing off, give him a long life, increase his
poverty and put him to trials." (And so it happened). Later on
when that person was asked how he was, he used to reply that
he was an old man in trial as the result of Sa`d's curse.
`Abdul Malik, the sub narrator, said that he had seen him
afterwards and his eyebrows were overhanging his eyes owing to
old age and he used to tease and assault the small girls in
the way.

person followed him. The man prayed and went to the Prophet
and greeted him. The Prophet returned the greeting and said to
him, "Go back and pray, for you have not prayed." The man went
back prayed in the same way as before, returned and greeted
the Prophet who said, "Go back and pray, for you have not
prayed." This happened thrice. The man said, "By Him Who sent
you with the Truth, I cannot offer the prayer in a better way
than this. Please, teach me how to pray." The Prophet said,
"When you stand for Prayer say Takbir and then recite from the
Holy Qur'an (of what you know by heart) and then bow till you
feel at ease. Then raise your head and stand up straight, then
prostrate till you feel at ease during your prostration, then
sit with calmness till you feel at ease (do not hurry) and do
the same in all your prayers.
1.725:
Narrated Jabir bin Samura: Sa`d said, "I used to pray with
them a prayer similar to that of Allah's Apostle (the prayer
of Zuhr and `Asr) reducing nothing from them. I used to
prolong the first two rak`at and shorten the last two rak`at."
`Umar said to Sa`d "This was what we thought about you."
1.726:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi Qatada: My father said, "The
Prophet in Zuhr prayers used to recite Al−Fatiha along with
two other Suras in the first two rak`at: a long one in the
first rak`a and a shorter (Sura) in the second, and at times
the verses were audible. In the `Asr prayer the Prophet used
to recite Al−Fatiha and two more Suras in the first two rak`at
and used to prolong the first rak`a. And he used to prolong
the first rak`a of the Fajr prayer and shorten the second.

beard."

"Wal Mursalati `Urfan" (77) and said, "O my son! By Allah,
your recitation made me remember that it was the last Sura I
heard from Allah's Apostle. He recited it in the Maghrib
prayer. "
1.731:

Narrated Abu Rafi`: I offered the `Isha' prayer behind Abu
Huraira and he recited, "Idha s−samaa'u n−shaqqat" (84) and
prostrated. On my inquiring, he said, "I prostrated behind
Abul−Qasim (the Prophet) (when he recited that Sura) and I
will go on doing it till I meet him."
1.734:
Narrated Al−Bara:
The Prophet was on a journey and recited in one of the first
two rak`at of the `Isha' prayer "Wa t−teeni wa z−zaitun." (95)
1.735:
Narrated Abu Rafi`: Once I prayed the `Isha' prayer with Abu
Huraira and he recited, "Idha s−samaa'u n−shaqqat" (84) and
prostrated. I said, "What is that?" He said, "I prostrated
behind Abul−Qasim, (the Prophet) (when he recited that Sura)
and I will go on doing it till I meet him."
1.736:
Narrated Al−Bara:

the `Isha' prayer, and I never heard a sweeter voice or a
better way of recitation than that of the Prophet.
1.737:
Narrated Jabir bin Samura: `Umar said to Sa`d, "The people
complained against you in everything, even in prayer." Sa`d
replied, "Really I used to prolong the first two rak`at and
shorten the last two and I will never shorten the prayer in
which I follow Allah's Apostle." `Umar said, "You are telling
the truth and that is what I think a tout you."
1.738:
Narrated Saiyar bin Salama: My father and I went to Abu
Barza−al−Aslami to ask him about the stated times for the
prayers. He replied, "The Prophet used to offer the Zuhr
prayer when the sun just declined from its highest position at
noon; the `Asr at a time when if a man went to the farthest
place in Medina (after praying) he would find the sun still
hot (bright). (The sub narrator said: I have forgotten what
Abu Barza said about the Maghrib prayer). The Prophet never
found any harm in delaying the `Isha' prayer to the first
third of the night and he never liked to sleep before it and
to talk after it. He used to offer the morning prayer at a
time when after finishing it one could recognize the person
sitting beside him and used to recite between 60 to 100 verses
in one or both the rak`at."
1.739:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Qur'an is recited in every prayer
and in those prayers in which Allah's Apostle recited aloud
for us, we recite aloud in the same prayers for you; and the
prayers in which the Prophet recited quietly, we recite
quietly. If you recite "Al−Fatiha" only it is sufficient but
if you recite something else in addition, it is better.
1.740:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet set out with the intention of
going to Suq `Ukaz (market of `Ukaz) along with some of his
companions. At the same time, a barrier was put between the
devils and the news of heaven. Fire commenced to be thrown at
them. The Devils went to their people, who asked them, "What
is wrong with you?" They said, "A barrier has been placed
between us and the news of heaven. And fire has been thrown at
us." They said, "The thing which has put a barrier between you
and the news of heaven must be something which has happened
recently. Go eastward and westward and see what has put a
barrier between you and the news of heaven." Those who went
towards Tuhama came across the Prophet at a place called
Nakhla and it was on the way to Suq `Ukaz and the Prophet was
offering the Fajr prayer with his companions. When they heard
the Qur'an they listened to it and said, "By Allah, this is
the thing which has put a barrier between us and the news of
heaven." They went to their people and said, "O our people;
verily we have heard a wonderful recital (Qur'an) which shows
the true path; we believed in it and would not ascribe
partners to our Lord." Allah revealed the following verses to
his Prophet (Sura 'Jinn') (72): "Say: It has been revealed to
me." And what was revealed to him was the conversation of the
Jinns.
1.741:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet recited aloud in the prayers
in which he was ordered to do so and quietly in the prayers in
which he was ordered to do so. "And your Lord is not
forgetful." "Verily there was a good example for you in the
ways of the Prophet."
1.742:
Narrated Abu Wa'il: A man came to Ibn Mas`ud and said, "I
recited the Mufassal (Suras) at night in one rak`a." Ibn
Mas`ud said, "This recitation is (too quick) like the
recitation of poetry. I know the identical Suras which the
Prophet used to recite in pairs." Ibn Mas`ud then mentioned 20
Mufassal Suras including two Suras from the family of (i.e.
those verses which begin with) Ha, Meem [??] (which the
Prophet used to recite) in each rak`a.
1.743:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi Qatada: My father said, "The
Prophet uses to recite Al−Fatiha followed by another Sura in
the first two rak`at of the prayer and used to recite only
Al−Fatiha in the last two rak`at of the Zuhr prayer. Sometimes
a verse or so was audible and he used to prolong the first
rak`a more than the second and used to do the same in the `Asr
and Fajr prayers."
1.744:
Narrated Abu Ma`mar: We said to Khabbab "Did Allah's Apostle
used to recite in Zuhr and `Asr prayers?" He replied in the
affirmative. We said, "How did you come to know about it?" He
said, "By the movement of his beard."
1.745:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi Qatada: My father said, "The
Prophet used to recite Al−Fatiha along with another Sura in

rak`a."

1.748:

says, "Amin" and the angels in the heavens say "Amin" and the
former coincides with the latter, all his past sins will be
forgiven."
1.749:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Say Amen when the
Imam says 'Ghairi l−maghdubi `alaihim wala d−daalleen' (not
the path of those who earn Your Anger (such as Jews) nor of
those who go astray (such as Christians)); all the past sins
of the person whose saying (of Amin) coincides with that of
the angels, will be forgiven".
1.750:
Narrated Abu Bakra: I reached the Prophet in the mosque while
he was bowing in prayer and I too bowed before joining the row
mentioned it to the Prophet and he said to me, "May Allah
increase your love for the good. But do not repeat it again
(bowing in that way).
1.751:
Narrated `Imran bin Husain: I offered the prayer with `Ali in
Basra and he made us remember the prayer which we used to pray
with Allah's Apostle. `Ali said Takbir on each rising and
bowing.
1.752:
Narrated Abu Salama: When Abu Huraira led us in prayer he used
to say Takbir on each bowing and rising. On the completion of
the prayer he used to say, "My prayer is more similar to the
prayer of Allah's Apostle than that of anyone of you."
1.753:
Narrated Mutarrif bin `Abdullah: `Imran bin Husain and I
offered the prayer behind `Ali bin Abi Talib. When `Ali
prostrated, he said the Takbir, when he raised his head, he
said the Takbir and when he got up for the third rak`a he said
the Takbir. On completion of the prayer `Imran took my hand
and said, "This (i.e. `Ali) made me remember the prayer of
Muhammad" Or he said, "He led us in a prayer like that of
Muhammad."
1.754:
Narrated `Ikrima:
I saw a person praying at Muqam−Ibrahim (the place of Abraham
by the Ka`ba) and he was saying Takbir on every bowing,
rising, standing and sitting. I asked Ibn `Abbas (about this
prayer). He admonished me saying: "Isn't that the prayer of
the Prophet?"
1.755:
Narrated `Ikrima:
I prayed behind a Sheikh at Mecca and he said twenty two
Takbirs (during the prayer). I told Ibn `Abbas that he (i.e.
that Sheikh) was foolish. Ibn `Abbas admonished me and said,
"This is the tradition of Abul−Qasim." And narrated Abu
Huraira: Whenever Allah's Apostle stood for the prayer, he
said Takbir on starting the prayer and then on bowing. On
rising from bowing he said, "Sami`a l−lahu liman hamidah," and
then while standing straight he used to say, "Rabbana laka−l
hamd" (Al−Laith said, "(The Prophet said), 'Wa laka l−hamd'."
He used to say Takbir on prostrating and on raising his head
from prostration; again he would Say Takbir on prostrating and
raising his head. He would then do the same in the whole of
the prayer till it was completed. On rising from the second
rak`a (after sitting for at−Tahiyyat), he used to say Takbir.
1.756:
Narrated Mus`ab bin Sa`d: I offered prayer beside my father
and approximated both my hands and placed them in between the
knees. My father told me not to do so and said, "We used to do
the same but we were forbidden (by the Prophet) to do it and
were ordered to place the hands on the knees."
1.757:
Narrated Zaid bin Wahb: Hudhaifa saw a person who was not
performing the bowing and prostration perfectly. He said to
him, "You have not prayed and if you should die you would die
on a religion other than that of Muhammad."
1.758:
Narrated Al−Bara:
The bowing, the prostration the sitting in between the two
prostrations and the standing after the bowing of the Prophet
but not qiyam (standing in the prayer) and qu`ud (sitting in
the prayer) used to be approximately equal (in duration).
1.759:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Once the Prophet entered the mosque, a
man came in, offered the prayer and greeted the Prophet. The
Prophet returned his greeting and said to him, "Go back and
pray again for you have not prayed." The man offered the
prayer again, came back and greeted the Prophet. He said to
him thrice, "Go back and pray again for you have not prayed."
The man said, "By Him Who has sent you with the truth! I do
not know a better way of praying. Kindly teach Me how to
pray." He said, "When you stand for the prayer, say Takbir and
then recite from the Qur'an what you know and then bow with
calmness till you feel at ease, then rise from bowing till you
stand straight. Afterwards prostrate calmly till you feel at
ease and then raise (your head) and sit with Calmness till you
feel at ease and then prostrate with calmness till you feel at
ease in prostration and do the same in the whole of your
prayer."
1.760:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet used to say in his bowing and prostrations,
"Subhanaka l−lahumma Rabbana wa bihamdika; Allahumma ghfir
li.' (Exalted [from unbecoming attributes] Are you O Allah our
Lord, and by Your praise [do I exalt you]. O Allah! Forgive
me).
1.761:
Narrated Abu Huraira: When the Prophet said, "Sami`a l−lahu
liman hamidah," (Allah heard those who sent praises to Him),
he would say, "Rabbana wa laka l−hamd." On bowing and raising
his head from it the Prophet used to say Takbir. He also used
to say Takbir on rising after the two prostrations. (See
Hadith No. 656).
1.762:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "When the Imam
says, "Sami`a l−lahu liman hamidah," you should say,

will be forgiven."

said, "Sami`a l−lahu liman hamidah." A man behind him said,
"Rabbana wa laka l−hamdu, hamdan kathiran taiyiban mubarakan
fihi" (O our Lord! All the praises are for You, many good and
blessed praises). When the Prophet completed the prayer, he
asked, "Who has said these words?" The man replied, "I." The
Prophet said, "I saw over thirty angels competing to write it
first." Prophet rose (from bowing) and stood straight till all
the vertebrae of his spinal column came to a natural position.

standing after bowing and the interval between the two
prostrations of the Prophet used to be equal in duration .
1.767:
Narrated Aiyub:
Abu Qilaba said, "Malik bin Huwairith used to demonstrate to
us the prayer of the Prophet at times other than that of the
compulsory prayers. So (once) he stood up for prayer and
performed a perfect Qiyam (standing and reciting from the Holy
Qur'an) and then bowed and performed bowing perfectly; then he
raised his head and stood straight for a while." Abu Qilaba
added, "Malik bin Huwairith in that demonstration prayed like
this Sheikh of ours, Abu Yazid." Abu, Yazid used to sit (for a
while) on raising his head from the second prostration before
getting up.
1.768:
Narrated Abu Bakr bin `Abdur Rahman Ibn Harith bin Hisham and
Abu Salama bin `Abdur Rahman: Abu Huraira used to say Takbir
in all the prayers, compulsory and optional −− in the month of
Ramadan or other months. He used to say Takbir on standing for
prayer and on bowing; then he would say, "Sami`a l−lahu liman
hamidah," and before prostrating he would say "Rabbana wa laka
l−hamd." Then he would say Takbir on prostrating and on
raising his head from the prostration, then another Takbir on
prostrating (for the second time), and on raising his head
from the prostration. He also would say the Takbir on standing
from the second rak`a. He used to do the same in every rak`a
till he completed the prayer. On completion of the prayer, he
would say, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is! No doubt my
prayer is closer to that of Allah's Apostle than yours, and
this was His prayer till he left this world." And Abu Huraira
said, "When Allah's Apostle raised his head from (bowing) he
used to say "Sami`a l−lahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa laka
l−hamd." He Would invoke Allah for some people by naming them:
"O Allah! Save Al−Walid bin Al−Walid and Salama bin Hisham and
`Aiyash bin Abi Rabi`a and the weak and the helpless people
among the faithful believers O Allah! Be hard on the tribe of
Mudar and let them suffer from famine years like that of the
time of Joseph." In those days the Eastern section of the
tribe of Mudar was against the Prophet.
1.769:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle fell from a horse and
the right side of his body was injured. We went to inquire
about his health meanwhile it was time for the prayer and he
led the prayer sitting and we also prayed while sitting. On
completion of the prayer he said, "The Imam is to be followed;
say Takbir when he says it; bow when he bows; rise when he
rises and when he says "Sami`a l−lahu liman hamidah," say,
"Rabbana wa laka l−hamd", and prostrate if he prostrates."
Sufyan narrated the same from Ma`mar. Ibn Juraij said that his
(the Prophet's) right leg had been injured.
1.770:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The people said, "O Allah's Apostle!
Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He replied,
"Do you have any doubt in seeing the full moon on a clear (not
cloudy) night?" They replied, "No, O Allah's Apostle!" He
said, "Do you have any doubt in seeing the sun when there are
no clouds?" They replied in the negative. He said, "You will
see Allah (your Lord) in the same way. On the Day of
Resurrection, people will be gathered and He will order the
people to follow what they used to worship. So some of them
will follow the sun, some will follow the moon, and some will
follow other deities; and only this nation (Muslims) will be
left with its hypocrites. Allah will come to them and say, 'I
am Your Lord.' They will say, 'We shall stay in this place
till our Lord comes to us and when our Lord will come, we will
recognize Him. Then Allah will come to them again and say, 'I
am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord.' Allah will
call them, and As−Sirat (a bridge) will be laid across Hell
and I (Muhammad) shall be the first amongst the Apostles to
cross it with my followers. Nobody except the Apostles will
then be able to speak and they will be saying then, 'O Allah!
Save us. O Allah Save us.' There will be hooks like the thorns
of Sa'dan [??] in Hell. Have you seen the thorns of Sa'dan
[??]?" The people said, "Yes." He said, "These hooks will be
like the thorns of Sa'dan [??] but nobody except Allah knows
their greatness in size and these will entangle the people
according to their deeds; some of them will fall and stay in
Hell forever; others will receive punishment (torn into small
pieces) and will get out of Hell, till when Allah intends
mercy on whomever He likes amongst the people of Hell, He will
order the angels to take out of Hell those who worshipped none
but Him alone. The angels will take them out by recognizing
them from the traces of prostrations, for Allah has forbidden
the (Hell) fire to eat away those traces. So they will come
out of the Fire, it will eat away from the whole of the human
body except the marks of the prostrations. At that time they
will come out of the Fire as mere skeletons. The Water of Life
will be poured on them and as a result they will grow like the
seeds growing on the bank of flowing water. Then when Allah
had finished from the Judgments amongst his creations, one man
will be left between Hell and Paradise and he will be the last
man from the people of Hell to enter paradise. He will be
facing Hell, and will say, 'O Allah! Turn my face from the
fire as its wind has dried me and its steam has burnt me.'
Allah will ask him, "Will you ask for anything more in case
this favor is granted to you?' He will say, "No by Your
(Honor) Power!" And he will give to his Lord (Allah) what he
will of the pledges and the covenants. Allah will then turn
his face from the Fire. When he will face Paradise and will
see its charm, he will remain quiet as long as Allah will. He
then will say, 'O my Lord! Let me go to the gate of Paradise.'
Allah will ask him, 'Didn't you give pledges and make
covenants (to the effect) that you would not ask for anything
more than what you requested at first?' He will say, 'O my
Lord! Do not make me the most wretched, amongst Your
creatures.' Allah will say, 'If this request is granted, will
you then ask for anything else?' He will say, 'No! By Your
Power! I shall not ask for anything else.' Then he will give
to his Lord what He will of the pledges and the covenants.
Allah will then let him go to the gate of Paradise. On
reaching then and seeing its life, charm, and pleasure, he
will remain quiet as long as Allah wills and then will say, 'O
my Lord ! Let me enter Paradise.' Allah will say, May Allah be
merciful unto you, O son of Adam! How treacherous you are!
Haven't you made covenants and given pledges that you will not
ask for anything more that what you have been given?' He will
say, 'O my Lord! Do not make me the most wretched amongst Your
creatures.' So Allah will laugh and allow him to enter
Paradise and will ask him to request as much as he likes. He
will do so till all his desires have been fulfilled . Then
Allah will say, 'Request more of such and such things.' Allah
will remind him and when all his desires and wishes; have been
fulfilled, Allah will say "All this is granted to you and a
similar amount besides." Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri, said to Abu
Huraira, 'Allah's Apostle said, "Allah said, 'That is for you
and ten times more like it.' "Abu Huraira said, "I do not
remember from Allah's Apostle except (his saying), 'All this
is granted to you and a similar amount besides." Abu Sa`id
said, "I heard him saying, 'That is for you and ten times more
the like of it."
1.771:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Malik bin Buhaina: Whenever the Prophet
used to offer prayer he used to keep arms away (from the body)
so that the whiteness of his armpits was visible.
1.772:
Narrated Abu Wail: Hudhaifa said, "I saw a person not
performing his bowing and prostrations perfectly. When he
completed the prayer, I told him that he had not prayed." I
think that Hudhaifa added (i.e. said to the man), "Had you
died, you would have died on a tradition other than that of
the Prophet Muhammad."
1.773:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet was ordered (by Allah) to
prostrate on seven parts and not to tuck up the clothes or
hair (while praying). Those parts are: the forehead (along
with the tip of nose), both hands, both knees, and (toes of)
both feet.
1.774:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, "We have been ordered
to prostrates on seven bones and not to tuck up the clothes or
hair."
1.775:
Narrated Al−Bara' bin `Azib: (He was not a liar) We used to
pray behind the Prophet and when he said, "Sami`a l−lahu liman
hamidah", none of us would bend his back (to go for
prostration) till the Prophet had placed his, forehead on the
ground.
1.776:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, "I have been ordered to
prostrate on seven bones i.e. on the forehead along with the
tip of the nose and the Prophet pointed towards his nose, both
hands, both knees and the toes of both feet and not to gather
the clothes or the hair."
1.777:
Narrated Abu Salama: Once I went to Abu− Sa`id Al−Khudri and
asked him, "Won't you come with us to the date−palm trees to
have a talk?" So Abu Sa`id went out and I asked him, "Tell me
what you heard from the Prophet about the Night of Qadr." Abu
Sa`id replied, "Once Allah's Apostle performed I`tikaf
(seclusion) on the first ten days of the month of Ramadan and
we did the same with him. Gabriel came to him and said, 'The
night you are looking for is ahead of you.' So the Prophet
performed the I`tikaf in the middle (second) ten days of the
month of Ramadan and we too performed I`tikaf with him.
Gabriel came to him and said, 'The night which you are looking
for is ahead of you.' In the morning of the 20th of Ramadan
the Prophet delivered a sermon saying, 'Whoever has performed
I`tikaf with me should continue it. I have been shown the
Night of "Qadr", but have forgotten its date, but it is in the
odd nights of the last ten nights. I saw in my dream that I
was prostrating in mud and water.' In those days the roof of
the mosque was made of branches of date−palm trees. At that
time the sky was clear and no cloud was visible, but suddenly
a cloud came and it rained. The Prophet led us in the prayer
and I saw the traces of mud on the forehead and on the nose of
Allah's Apostle. So it was the confirmation of that dream."
1.778:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: The people used to pray with the
Prophet tying their Izars around their necks because of their
small sizes and the women were directed that they should not
raise their heads from the prostrations till the men had sat
straight.
1.779:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet was ordered to prostrate on
seven bony parts and not to tuck up his clothes or hair.
1.780:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, "I have been ordered to
prostrate on seven (bones) and not to tuck up the hair or
garment."
1.781:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet used to say frequently in his bowing and
prostrations "Subhanaka l−lahumma Rabbana wa bihamdika,
Allahumma ghfir li" (Exalted [from unbecoming attributes] Are
you O Allah our Lord, and by Your praise [do I exalt you]. O
Allah! Forgive me). In this way [??] he was acting on what was
explained to him in the Holy Qur'an.
1.782:
Narrated Abu Qilaba: Once Malik bin Huwairith said to his
friends, "Shall I show you how Allah's Apostle used to offer
his prayers?" And it was not the time for any of the
compulsory congregational prayers. So he stood up (for the
prayer) bowed and said the Takbir, then he raised his head and
remained standing for a while and then prostrated and raised
his head for a while (sat up for a while). He prayed like our
Sheikh `Amr Ibn Salama. (Aiyub said, "The latter used to do a
thing which I did not see the people doing i.e. he used to sit
between the third and the fourth rak`a). Malik bin Huwairith
said, "We came to the Prophet (after embracing Islam) and
stayed with him. He said to us, 'When you go back to your
families, pray such and such a prayer at such and such a time,
pray such and such a prayer at such and such a time, and when
there is the time for the prayer then only of you should
pronounce the Adhan for the prayer and the oldest of you
should lead the prayer."
1.783:
Narrated Al−Bara': The time taken by the Prophet in
prostrations, bowing, and the sitting interval between the two
prostrations was about the same.
1.784:
Narrated Thabit:
Anas said, "I will leave no stone unturned in making you offer
the prayer as I have seen the Prophet making us offer it."
Anas used to do a thing which I have not seen you doing. He
used to stand after the bowing for such a long time that one
would think that he had forgotten (the prostrations) and he
used to sit in−between the prostrations so long that one would
think that he had forgotten the second prostration.
1.785:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, "Be straight in the
prostrations and none of you should put his forearms on the
ground (in the prostration) like a dog."
1.786:
Narrated Malik bin Huwairith Al−Laithi: I saw the Prophet
praying and in the odd rak`at, he used to sit for a moment
before getting up.
1.787:
Narrated Aiyub:
Abu Qilaba said, "Malik bin Huwairith came to us and led us in
the prayer in this mosque of ours and said, 'I lead you in
prayer but I do not want to offer the prayer but just to show
you how Allah's Apostle performed his prayers." I asked Abu
Qilaba, "How was the prayer of Malik bin Huwairith?" He
replied, "Like the prayer of this Sheikh of ours−− i.e. `Amr
bin Salima." That Sheikh used to pronounce the Takbir
perfectly and when he raised his head from the second
prostration he would sit for a while and then support himself
on the ground and get up.
1.788:
Narrated Sa`id bin Al−Harith: Abu Sa`id led us in the prayer
and said the Takbir aloud on arising from the prostration, and
on prostrating, on rising again, and on getting up from the
second rak`a. Abu Sa`id said, "I saw the Prophet doing the
same."
1.789:
Narrated Mutarrif: `Imran and I prayed behind `Ali bin Abi
Talib and he said Takbir on prostrating, on rising and on
getting up after the two rak`at (i.e. after the second rak`a).
When the prayer was finished, `Imran took me by the hand and
said, "He (`Ali) has prayed the prayer of Muhammad" (or said,
"He made us remember the prayer of Muhammad).
1.790:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abdullah: I saw `Abdullah bin `Umar
crossing his legs while sitting in the prayer and I, a mere
youngster in those days, did the same. Ibn `Umar forbade me to
do so, and said, "The proper way is to keep the right foot
propped up and bend the left in the prayer." I said
questioningly, "But you are doing so (crossing the legs)." He
said, "My feet cannot bear my weight."
1.791:
Narrated Muhammad bin `Amr bin `Ata': I was sitting with some
of the companions of Allah's Apostle and we were discussing
about the way of praying of the Prophet. Abu Humaid As−Sa`idi
said, "I remember the prayer of Allah's Apostle better than
any one of you. I saw him raising both his hands up to the
level of the shoulders on saying the Takbir; and on bowing he
placed his hands on both knees and bent his back straight,
then he stood up straight from bowing till all the vertebrate
took their normal positions. In prostrations, he placed both
his hands on the ground with the forearms away from the ground
and away from his body, and his toes were facing the Qibla. On
sitting In the second rak`a he sat on his left foot and
propped up the right one; and in the last rak`a he pushed his
left foot forward and kept the other foot propped up and sat
over the buttocks."
1.792:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Buhaina: (he was from the tribe of Uzd
Shanu'a [??] and was the ally of the tribe of `Abdul−Manaf and
was one of the companions of the Prophet): Once the Prophet
led us in the Zuhr prayer and stood up after the second rak`a
and did not sit down. The people stood up with him. When the
prayer was about to end and the people were waiting for him to
say the Taslim, he said Takbir while sitting and prostrated
twice before saying the Taslim and then he said the Taslim."
1.793:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Malik bin Buhaina: Once Allah's Apostle
led us in the Zuhr prayer and got up (after the prostrations
of the second rak`a) although he should have sat (for the
Tashahhud). So at the end of the prayer, he prostrated twice
while sitting (prostrations of Sahu).
1.794:
Narrated Shaqiq bin Salama: `Abdullah said, "Whenever we
prayed behind the Prophet we used to recite (in sitting)
'Peace be on Gabriel, Michael, peace be on so and so. Once
Allah's Apostle looked back at us and said, 'Allah Himself is
As−Salam (Peace), and if anyone of you prays then he should
say, at−Tahiyatu li l−lahi wa s−salawatu wa t−taiyibat.
As−salamu `alalika aiyuha n−Nabiyu wa rahmatu l−lahi wa
barakatuh. As−salamu `alaina wa `ala `ibadi l−lahi s−salihin.
(All the compliments, prayers and good things are due to
Allah; peace be on you, O Prophet, and Allah's mercy and
blessings [be on you]. Peace be on us an on the pious subjects
of Allah). (If you say that, it will reach all the subjects in
the heaven and the earth). Ash−hadu al−la ilaha illa l−lah, wa
ash−hadu anna Muhammadan `Abduhu wa Rasuluh. (I testify that
there is no Deity [worthy of worship] but Allah, and I testify
that Muhammad is His slave and His Apostle).
1.795:
Narrated `Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) Allah's Apostle used to invoke Allah
in the prayer saying "Allahumma inni a`udhu bika min `adhabi
l−qabr, wa a`udhu bika min fitnati l−masihi d−dajjal, wa
a`udhu bika min fitnati l−mahya wa fitnati l−mamat. Allahumma
inni a`udhu bika mina l−ma'thami wa l−maghram. (O Allah, I
seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave, from
the afflictions of the imposter−Messiah, and from the
afflictions of life and death. O Allah, I seek refuge with You
from sins and from debt)." Somebody said to him, "Why do you
so frequently seek refuge with Allah from being in debt?" The
Prophet replied, "A person in debt tells lies whenever he
speaks, and breaks promises whenever he makes (them)." `Aisha
also narrated: I heard Allah's Apostle in his prayer seeking
refuge with Allah from the afflictions of Ad−Dajjal.
1.796:
Narrated Abu Bakr As−Siddiq: I asked Allah's Apostle to teach
me an invocation so that I may invoke Allah with it in my
prayer. He told me to say, "Allahumma inni zalumtu nafsi
zulman kathiran, Wala yaghfiru dh−dhunuba illa anta, fa ghfir
li maghfiratan min `indika, wa r−hamni, innaka anta l−ghafuru
r−rahim (O Allah! I have done great injustice to myself and
none except You forgives sins, so bestow on me a forgiveness
from You, and Have Mercy on me, You are the Forgiver, the
Merciful).
1.797:
Narrated `Abdullah: When we prayed with the Prophet we used to
say, "Peace be on Allah from His slaves and peace be on so and
so." The Prophet said, "Don't say As−Salam be on Allah, for He
Himself is As−Salam, but say, at−tahiyatu li l−lahi wa
s−salawatu wa t−taiyibat. As−salamu `alaika aiyuha n−Nabiyu wa
rahmatu l−lahi wa barakatuh. As−salamu `alaina wa `ala `ibadi
l−lahi s−salihin. (If you say this then it will reach all the
slaves in heaven or between heaven and earth). Ash−hadu al
la−ilaha illa l−lah, wa ash−hadu anna Muhammadan `Abduhu wa
Rasuluh.' Then select the invocation you like best and recite
it." (See Hadith No. 794, 795 & 796).
1.798:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri: I saw Allah's Apostle
prostrating in mud and water and saw the mark of mud on his
forehead.
1.799:
Narrated Um Salama: Whenever Allah's Apostle finished his
prayers with Taslim, the women would get up and he would stay
on for a while in his place before getting up. Ibn Shihab
said, "I think (and Allah knows better), that the purpose of
his stay was that the women might leave before the men who had
finished their prayer. "
1.800:
Narrated `Itban bin Malik: We prayed with the Prophet and used
to finish our prayer with the Taslim along with him.
1.801:
Narrated Mahmud bin Ar−Rabi`: I remember Allah's Apostle and
also the mouthful of water which he took from a bucket in our
house and ejected (on me). I heard from `Itban bin Malik
Al−Ansari, who was one from Bani Salim, saying, "I used to
lead my tribe of Bani Salim in prayer. Once I went to the
Prophet and said to him, 'I have weak eyesight and at times
the rainwater flood intervenes between me and the mosque of my
tribe and I wish that you would come to my house and pray at
some place so that I could take that place as a place for
praying (mosque). He said, "Allah willing, I shall do that."
Next day Allah's Apostle along with Abu Bakr, came to my house
after the sun had risen high and he asked permission to enter.
I gave him permission, but he didn't sit till he said to me,
"Where do you want me to pray in your house?" I pointed to a
place in the house where I wanted him to pray. So he stood up
for the prayer and we aligned behind him. He completed the
prayer with Taslim and we did the same simultaneously."
1.802:
Narrated Abu Ma`bad: (the freed slave of Ibn `Abbas) Ibn
`Abbas told me, "In the lifetime of the Prophet it was the
custom to celebrate Allah's praises aloud after the compulsory
congregational prayers." Ibn `Abbas further said, "When I
heard the Dhikr, I would learn that the compulsory
congregational prayer had ended."
1.803:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: I used to recognize the completion of the
prayer of the Prophet by hearing Takbir.
1.804:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Some poor people came to the Prophet and
said, "The wealthy people will get higher grades and will have
permanent enjoyment and they pray like us and fast as we do.
They have more money by which they perform the Hajj, and
`Umra; fight and struggle in Allah's Cause and give in
charity." The Prophet said, "Shall I not tell you a thing upon
which if you acted you would catch up with those who have
surpassed you? Nobody would overtake you and you would be
better than the people amongst whom you live except those who
would do the same. Say "Subhana l−lah", "Al hamdu li l−lah"
and "Allahu Akbar" thirty three times each after every
(compulsory) prayer." We differed and some of us said that we
should say, "Subhan−al−lah" thirty three times and "Al hamdu
li l−lah" thirty three times and "Allahu Akbar" thirty four
times. I went to the Prophet who said, "Say, "Subhan−al−lah"
and "Al hamdu li l−lah" and "Allahu Akbar" all together [??],
thirty three times."
1.805:
Narrated Warrad:
(the clerk of Al−Mughira bin Shu`ba) Once Al−Mughira dictated
to me in a letter addressed to Muawiya that the Prophet used
to say after every compulsory prayer, "La ilaha illa l−lahu
wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahu l−mulku wa lahu l−hamdu, wa huwa
`ala kulli shay'in qadir. Allahumma la mani`a lima a`taita, wa
la mu`tiya lima mana`ta, wa la yanfa`u dhal−jaddi minka
l−jadd. [There is no Deity but Allah, Alone, no Partner to
Him. His is the Kingdom and all praise, and Omnipotent is he.
O Allah! Nobody can hold back what you gave, nobody can give
what You held back, and no struggler's effort can benefit
against You]." And Al−Hasan said, "Al−jadd' means prosperity
[??]."
1.806:
Narrated Samura bin Jundub: The Prophet used to face us on
completion of the prayer.
1.807:
Narrated Zaid bin Khalid Al−Juhani: The Prophet led us in the
Fajr prayer at Hudaibiya after a rainy night. On completion of
the prayer, he faced the people and said, "Do you know what
your Lord has said (revealed)?" The people replied, "Allah and
His Apostle know better." He said, "Allah has said, 'In this
morning some of my slaves remained as true believers and some
became non−believers; whoever said that the rain was due to
the Blessings and the Mercy of Allah had belief in Me and he
disbelieves in the stars, and whoever said that it rained
because of a particular star had no belief in Me but believes
in that star.' "
1.808:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Once the Prophet delayed the `Isha'
prayer until midnight and then came to us. Having prayed he
faced us and said, "The people had prayed and slept but you
were in the prayer as long as you were waiting for it."
1.809:
Narrated Um Salama: "The Prophet after finishing the prayer
with Taslim used to stay at his place for a while." Ibn Shihab
said, "I think (and Allah knows better), that he used to wait
for the departure of the women who had prayed." Ibn Shihab
wrote that he had heard it from Hind bint Al−Harith
Al−Firasiya from Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet (Hind was
from the companions of Um Salama) who said, "When the Prophet
finished the prayer with Taslim, the women would depart and
enter their houses before Allah's Apostle departed."
1.810:
Narrated `Uqba:
I offered the `Asr prayer behind the Prophet at Medina. When
he had finished the prayer with Taslim, he got up hurriedly
and went out by crossing the rows of the people to one of the
dwellings of his wives. The people got scared at his speed .
The Prophet came back and found the people surprised at his
haste and said to them, "I remembered a piece of gold Lying in
my house and I did not like it to divert my attention from
Allah's worship, so I have ordered it to be distributed (in
charity).
1.811:
Narrated `Abdullah: You should not give away a part of your
prayer to Satan by thinking that it is necessary to depart
(after finishing the prayer) from one's right side only; I
have seen the Prophet often leave from the left side.
1.812:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: During the holy battle of Khaibar the
Prophet said, "Whoever ate from this plant (i.e. garlic)
should not enter our mosque."
1.813:
Narrated `Ata':
I heard Jabir bin `Abdullah saying, "The Prophet said,
'Whoever eats (from) this plant (he meant garlic) should keep
away from our mosque." I said, "What does he mean by that?" He
replied, "I think he means only raw garlic."
1.814:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: The Prophet said, "Whoever eats
garlic or onion should keep away from our mosque or should
remain in his house." (Jabir bin `Abdullah, in another
narration said, "Once a big pot containing cooked vegetables
was brought. On finding unpleasant smell coming from it, the
Prophet asked, 'What is in it?' He was told all the names of
the vegetables that were in it. The Prophet ordered that it
should be brought near to some of his companions who were with
him. When the Prophet saw it he disliked to eat it and said,
'Eat. (I don't eat) for I converse with those whom you don't
converse with (i.e. the angels).
1.815:
Narrated `Abdul `Aziz: A man asked Anas, "What did you hear
from the Prophet about garlic?" He said, "The Prophet said,
'Whoever has eaten this plant should neither come near us nor
pray with us."
1.816:
Narrated Sulaiman Ash−Shaibam [Shaibani??]: I heard Ash−Shu`bi
saying, "A person who was accompanying the Prophet passed by a
grave that was separated from the other graves told me that
the Prophet once led the people in the (funeral) prayer and
the people had aligned behind him. I said, "O Aba `Amr! Who
told you about it?" He said, "Ibn `Abbas."
1.817:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri: The Prophet said, "Ghusl (taking
a bath) on Friday is compulsory for every Muslim reaching the
age of puberty."
1.818:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: One night I slept at the house of my aunt
Maimuna and the Prophet slept (too). He got up (for prayer) in
the last hours of the night and performed a light ablution
from a hanging leather skin. (`Amr, the sub−narrator described
that the ablution was very light). Then he stood up for prayer
and I got up too and performed the ablution in the same way
and joined him on his left side. He pulled me to the right and
prayed as much as Allah will. Then he lay down and slept and I
heard his breath sounds till the Mu'adh−dhin came to him to
inform him about the (Fajr) prayer. He left with him for the
prayer and prayed without repeating the ablution. (Sufyan the
sub−narrator said: We said to `Amr, "Some people say, 'The
eyes of the Prophet sleep but his heart never sleeps.' " `Amr
said, "'Ubai bin `Umar said, 'The dreams of the Prophets are

in dream that I was slaughtering you (offering you in
sacrifice).") (37.102)

Allah's Apostle for a meal which she had prepared specially
for him. He ate some of it and said, "Get up. I shall lead you
in the prayer." I brought a mat that had become black owing to

stood on it and prayed two rak`at; and the orphan was with me
(in the first row), and the old lady stood behind us.

Narrated `Aisha:
Once Allah's Apostle delayed the `Isha' prayer till `Umar

those days none but the people of Medina prayed.
1.822:
Narrated `Abdur Rahman bin `Abis: A person asked Ibn `Abbas,
"Have you ever presented yourself at the (`Id) prayer with
Allah's Apostle?" He replied, "Yes." And had it not been for
my kinship (position) with the Prophet it would not have been
possible for me to do so (for he was too young). The Prophet
went to the mark near the house of Kathir bin As−Salt and
delivered a sermon. He then went towards the women. He advised
and reminded them and asked them to give alms. So the woman
would bring her hand near her neck and take off her necklace
and put it in the garment of Bilal. Then the Prophet and Bilal
came to the house."
1.823:
Narrated `Aisha:
Once Allah's Apostle delayed the `Isha' prayer till `Umar

leave covered in their sheets and were not recognized owing to
the darkness.

"Allah's Apostle said, "Whenever I stand for prayer, I want to
prolong it but on hearing the cries of a child, I would
shorten it as I dislike to put its mother in trouble."
1.828:
Narrated `Aisha:
Had Allah's Apostle known what the women were doing, he would
have forbidden them from going to the mosque as the women of
Bani Israel had been forbidden. Yahya bin Sa`id (a
sub−narrator) asked `Amra (another sub−narrator), "Were the
women of Bani Israel forbidden?" She replied "Yes."
1.829:
Narrated Um Salama: Whenever Allah's Apostle completed the
prayer with Taslim, the women used to get up immediately and
Allah's Apostle would remain at his place for someone before
getting up. (The sub−narrator (Az−Zuhri) said, "We think, and

leave before men could get in touch with them).

horse and fell down and the right side of his body was
injured. On that day he prayed one of the prayers sitting and
we also prayed behind him sitting. When the Prophet finished
the prayer with Taslim, he said, "The Imam is to be followed
and if he prays standing then pray standing, and bow when he

when he prostrates; and if he says "Sami`a l−lahu liman
hamidah", you should say, "Rabbana wa laka l−hamd.:

between the Takbir and the recitation of Qur'an and that
interval of silence used to be a short one. I said to the

in the pause between Takbir and recitation?" The Prophet said,
"I say, 'Allahumma, baa`id baini wa baina khatayaya kama
baa`adta baina l−mashriqi wa l−maghrib. Allahumma, naqqini min
khatayaya kama yunaqqa th−thawbu l−abyadu mina d−danas.
Allahumma, ighsil khatayaya bi l−maa'i wa th−thalji wa l−barad

prostration. On completion o the prayer, he said, "Paradise
became s near to me that if I had dared, I would have plucked
one of its bunches for you and Hell became so near to me that
said, 'O my Lord will I be among those people?' Then suddenly

so that it could feed itself."
1.713:

Paradise and wanted to have a bunch of fruit from it. Had I
taken it, you would have eaten from it as long as the world
remains."

went up to the pulpit and beckoned with both hands towards the
Qibla of the mosque and then said, "When I started leading you

I have seen today." He repeated the last statement thrice.
1.717:

"They should stop (looking towards the sky during the prayer);
otherwise their eyesight would be taken away."

Apostle suddenly appeared before them by living the curtain of
the dwelling place of `Aisha, looked towards the Muslims who
were standing in rows. He smiled with pleasure. Abu Bakr
started retreating to join the row on the assumption that the
Prophet wanted to come out for the prayer. The Muslims
intended to leave the prayer (and were on the verge of being
put to trial), but the Prophet beckoned them to complete their
prayer and then he let the curtain fall. He died in the last
hours of that day.
1.722:
Narrated Jabir bin Samura: The People of Kufa complained
against Sa`d to `Umar and the latter dismissed him and
appointed `Ammar as their chief . They lodged many complaints
against Sa`d and even they alleged that he did not pray
properly. `Umar sent for him and said, "O Aba 'Is−haq! These
people claim that you do not pray properly." Abu 'Is−haq said,
"By Allah, I used to pray with them a prayer similar to that
of Allah's Apostle and I never reduced anything of it. I used
to prolong the first two rak`at of `Isha prayer and shorten
the last two rak`at." `Umar said, "O Aba 'Is−haq, this was
what I thought about you." And then he sent one or more
persons with him to Kufa so as to ask the people about him. So
they went there and did not leave any mosque without asking
about him. All the people praised him till they came to the
mosque of the tribe of Bani `Abs; one of the men called Usama
bin Qatada with a surname of Aba Sa`da stood up and said, "As
you have put us under an oath; I am bound to tell you that
Sa`d never went himself with the army and never distributed
(the war booty) equally and never did justice in legal
verdicts." (On hearing it) Sa`d said, "I pray to Allah for
three things: O Allah! If this slave of yours is a liar and
got up for showing off, give him a long life, increase his
poverty and put him to trials." (And so it happened). Later on
when that person was asked how he was, he used to reply that
he was an old man in trial as the result of Sa`d's curse.

afterwards and his eyebrows were overhanging his eyes owing to
old age and he used to tease and assault the small girls in
the way.

person followed him. The man prayed and went to the Prophet
and greeted him. The Prophet returned the greeting and said to
him, "Go back and pray, for you have not prayed." The man went
back prayed in the same way as before, returned and greeted
the Prophet who said, "Go back and pray, for you have not
prayed." This happened thrice. The man said, "By Him Who sent
you with the Truth, I cannot offer the prayer in a better way
than this. Please, teach me how to pray." The Prophet said,
"When you stand for Prayer say Takbir and then recite from the
Holy Qur'an (of what you know by heart) and then bow till you
feel at ease. Then raise your head and stand up straight, then
prostrate till you feel at ease during your prostration, then
sit with calmness till you feel at ease (do not hurry) and do
the same in all your prayers.
1.725:
Narrated Jabir bin Samura: Sa`d said, "I used to pray with
them a prayer similar to that of Allah's Apostle (the prayer
of Zuhr and `Asr) reducing nothing from them. I used to
prolong the first two rak`at and shorten the last two rak`at."
`Umar said to Sa`d "This was what we thought about you."
1.726:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi Qatada: My father said, "The
Prophet in Zuhr prayers used to recite Al−Fatiha along with
two other Suras in the first two rak`at: a long one in the
first rak`a and a shorter (Sura) in the second, and at times
the verses were audible. In the `Asr prayer the Prophet used
to recite Al−Fatiha and two more Suras in the first two rak`at
and used to prolong the first rak`a. And he used to prolong
the first rak`a of the Fajr prayer and shorten the second.

beard."

"Wal Mursalati `Urfan" (77) and said, "O my son! By Allah,

heard from Allah's Apostle. He recited it in the Maghrib
prayer. "
1.731:

Abul−Qasim (the Prophet) (when he recited that Sura) and I
will go on doing it till I meet him."
1.734:

The Prophet was on a journey and recited in one of the first
two rak`at of the `Isha' prayer "Wa t−teeni wa z−zaitun." (95)
1.735:
Narrated Abu Rafi`: Once I prayed the `Isha' prayer with Abu
Huraira and he recited, "Idha s−samaa'u n−shaqqat" (84) and
prostrated. I said, "What is that?" He said, "I prostrated
behind Abul−Qasim, (the Prophet) (when he recited that Sura)
and I will go on doing it till I meet him."
1.736:

better way of recitation than that of the Prophet.
1.737:
Narrated Jabir bin Samura: `Umar said to Sa`d, "The people
complained against you in everything, even in prayer." Sa`d
replied, "Really I used to prolong the first two rak`at and
shorten the last two and I will never shorten the prayer in
which I follow Allah's Apostle." `Umar said, "You are telling
the truth and that is what I think a tout you."
1.738:
Narrated Saiyar bin Salama: My father and I went to Abu
Barza−al−Aslami to ask him about the stated times for the
prayers. He replied, "The Prophet used to offer the Zuhr
prayer when the sun just declined from its highest position at
noon; the `Asr at a time when if a man went to the farthest
place in Medina (after praying) he would find the sun still
hot (bright). (The sub narrator said: I have forgotten what
Abu Barza said about the Maghrib prayer). The Prophet never
found any harm in delaying the `Isha' prayer to the first
third of the night and he never liked to sleep before it and
to talk after it. He used to offer the morning prayer at a
time when after finishing it one could recognize the person
sitting beside him and used to recite between 60 to 100 verses
in one or both the rak`at."
1.739:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Qur'an is recited in every prayer
and in those prayers in which Allah's Apostle recited aloud
for us, we recite aloud in the same prayers for you; and the
prayers in which the Prophet recited quietly, we recite
quietly. If you recite "Al−Fatiha" only it is sufficient but
if you recite something else in addition, it is better.
1.740:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet set out with the intention of
going to Suq `Ukaz (market of `Ukaz) along with some of his
companions. At the same time, a barrier was put between the
devils and the news of heaven. Fire commenced to be thrown at
them. The Devils went to their people, who asked them, "What
is wrong with you?" They said, "A barrier has been placed
between us and the news of heaven. And fire has been thrown at
us." They said, "The thing which has put a barrier between you
and the news of heaven must be something which has happened
recently. Go eastward and westward and see what has put a
barrier between you and the news of heaven." Those who went
towards Tuhama came across the Prophet at a place called
Nakhla and it was on the way to Suq `Ukaz and the Prophet was
offering the Fajr prayer with his companions. When they heard
the Qur'an they listened to it and said, "By Allah, this is
the thing which has put a barrier between us and the news of
heaven." They went to their people and said, "O our people;
verily we have heard a wonderful recital (Qur'an) which shows
the true path; we believed in it and would not ascribe
partners to our Lord." Allah revealed the following verses to
his Prophet (Sura 'Jinn') (72): "Say: It has been revealed to
me." And what was revealed to him was the conversation of the
Jinns.
1.741:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet recited aloud in the prayers
in which he was ordered to do so and quietly in the prayers in
which he was ordered to do so. "And your Lord is not
forgetful." "Verily there was a good example for you in the
ways of the Prophet."
1.742:
Narrated Abu Wa'il: A man came to Ibn Mas`ud and said, "I
recited the Mufassal (Suras) at night in one rak`a." Ibn
Mas`ud said, "This recitation is (too quick) like the
recitation of poetry. I know the identical Suras which the
Prophet used to recite in pairs." Ibn Mas`ud then mentioned 20
Mufassal Suras including two Suras from the family of (i.e.
those verses which begin with) Ha, Meem [??] (which the
Prophet used to recite) in each rak`a.
1.743:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi Qatada: My father said, "The
Prophet uses to recite Al−Fatiha followed by another Sura in
the first two rak`at of the prayer and used to recite only
Al−Fatiha in the last two rak`at of the Zuhr prayer. Sometimes
a verse or so was audible and he used to prolong the first
rak`a more than the second and used to do the same in the `Asr
and Fajr prayers."
1.744:
Narrated Abu Ma`mar: We said to Khabbab "Did Allah's Apostle
used to recite in Zuhr and `Asr prayers?" He replied in the
affirmative. We said, "How did you come to know about it?" He
said, "By the movement of his beard."
1.745:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi Qatada: My father said, "The
Prophet used to recite Al−Fatiha along with another Sura in

rak`a."

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Say Amen when the
Imam says 'Ghairi l−maghdubi `alaihim wala d−daalleen' (not
the path of those who earn Your Anger (such as Jews) nor of
those who go astray (such as Christians)); all the past sins
of the person whose saying (of Amin) coincides with that of
the angels, will be forgiven".
1.750:
Narrated Abu Bakra: I reached the Prophet in the mosque while
he was bowing in prayer and I too bowed before joining the row
mentioned it to the Prophet and he said to me, "May Allah
increase your love for the good. But do not repeat it again
(bowing in that way).
1.751:
Narrated `Imran bin Husain: I offered the prayer with `Ali in
Basra and he made us remember the prayer which we used to pray
with Allah's Apostle. `Ali said Takbir on each rising and
bowing.
1.752:
Narrated Abu Salama: When Abu Huraira led us in prayer he used
to say Takbir on each bowing and rising. On the completion of
the prayer he used to say, "My prayer is more similar to the
prayer of Allah's Apostle than that of anyone of you."
1.753:
Narrated Mutarrif bin `Abdullah: `Imran bin Husain and I
offered the prayer behind `Ali bin Abi Talib. When `Ali
prostrated, he said the Takbir, when he raised his head, he
said the Takbir and when he got up for the third rak`a he said
the Takbir. On completion of the prayer `Imran took my hand
and said, "This (i.e. `Ali) made me remember the prayer of
Muhammad" Or he said, "He led us in a prayer like that of
Muhammad."
1.754:
Narrated `Ikrima:
I saw a person praying at Muqam−Ibrahim (the place of Abraham
by the Ka`ba) and he was saying Takbir on every bowing,
rising, standing and sitting. I asked Ibn `Abbas (about this
prayer). He admonished me saying: "Isn't that the prayer of
the Prophet?"
1.755:
Narrated `Ikrima:
I prayed behind a Sheikh at Mecca and he said twenty two
Takbirs (during the prayer). I told Ibn `Abbas that he (i.e.
that Sheikh) was foolish. Ibn `Abbas admonished me and said,
"This is the tradition of Abul−Qasim." And narrated Abu
Huraira: Whenever Allah's Apostle stood for the prayer, he
said Takbir on starting the prayer and then on bowing. On
rising from bowing he said, "Sami`a l−lahu liman hamidah," and
then while standing straight he used to say, "Rabbana laka−l
hamd" (Al−Laith said, "(The Prophet said), 'Wa laka l−hamd'."
He used to say Takbir on prostrating and on raising his head
from prostration; again he would Say Takbir on prostrating and
raising his head. He would then do the same in the whole of
the prayer till it was completed. On rising from the second
rak`a (after sitting for at−Tahiyyat), he used to say Takbir.
1.756:
Narrated Mus`ab bin Sa`d: I offered prayer beside my father
and approximated both my hands and placed them in between the
knees. My father told me not to do so and said, "We used to do
the same but we were forbidden (by the Prophet) to do it and
were ordered to place the hands on the knees."
1.757:
Narrated Zaid bin Wahb: Hudhaifa saw a person who was not
performing the bowing and prostration perfectly. He said to
him, "You have not prayed and if you should die you would die
on a religion other than that of Muhammad."
1.758:
Narrated Al−Bara:
The bowing, the prostration the sitting in between the two
prostrations and the standing after the bowing of the Prophet
but not qiyam (standing in the prayer) and qu`ud (sitting in
the prayer) used to be approximately equal (in duration).
1.759:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Once the Prophet entered the mosque, a
man came in, offered the prayer and greeted the Prophet. The
Prophet returned his greeting and said to him, "Go back and
pray again for you have not prayed." The man offered the
prayer again, came back and greeted the Prophet. He said to
him thrice, "Go back and pray again for you have not prayed."
The man said, "By Him Who has sent you with the truth! I do
not know a better way of praying. Kindly teach Me how to
pray." He said, "When you stand for the prayer, say Takbir and
then recite from the Qur'an what you know and then bow with
calmness till you feel at ease, then rise from bowing till you
stand straight. Afterwards prostrate calmly till you feel at
ease and then raise (your head) and sit with Calmness till you
feel at ease and then prostrate with calmness till you feel at
ease in prostration and do the same in the whole of your
prayer."
1.760:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet used to say in his bowing and prostrations,
"Subhanaka l−lahumma Rabbana wa bihamdika; Allahumma ghfir
li.' (Exalted [from unbecoming attributes] Are you O Allah our
Lord, and by Your praise [do I exalt you]. O Allah! Forgive
me).
1.761:
Narrated Abu Huraira: When the Prophet said, "Sami`a l−lahu
liman hamidah," (Allah heard those who sent praises to Him),
he would say, "Rabbana wa laka l−hamd." On bowing and raising
his head from it the Prophet used to say Takbir. He also used
to say Takbir on rising after the two prostrations. (See
Hadith No. 656).
1.762:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "When the Imam
says, "Sami`a l−lahu liman hamidah," you should say,
"Allahumma Rabbana laka l−hamd." And if the saying of any one
of you coincides with that of the angels, all his past sins
will be forgiven."
1.763:
Narrated Anas:
The qunut [supplication before going down for prostration]
used to be recited in the Maghrib and the Fajr prayers.
1.764:
Narrated Rifa`a bin Rafi` Az−Zuraqi: One day we were praying
behind the Prophet. When he raised his head from bowing, he
said, "Sami`a l−lahu liman hamidah." A man behind him said,
"Rabbana wa laka l−hamdu, hamdan kathiran taiyiban mubarakan
fihi" (O our Lord! All the praises are for You, many good and
blessed praises). When the Prophet completed the prayer, he
asked, "Who has said these words?" The man replied, "I." The
Prophet said, "I saw over thirty angels competing to write it
first." Prophet rose (from bowing) and stood straight till all
the vertebrae of his spinal column came to a natural position.
1.765:
Narrated Thabit:
Anas used to demonstrate to us the prayer of the Prophet and
while demonstrating, he used to raise his head from bowing and
stand so long that we would say that he had forgotten (the
prostration).
1.766:
Narrated Al−Bara': The bowing, the prostrations, the period of
standing after bowing and the interval between the two
prostrations of the Prophet used to be equal in duration .
1.767:
Narrated Aiyub:
Abu Qilaba said, "Malik bin Huwairith used to demonstrate to
us the prayer of the Prophet at times other than that of the
compulsory prayers. So (once) he stood up for prayer and
performed a perfect Qiyam (standing and reciting from the Holy
Qur'an) and then bowed and performed bowing perfectly; then he
raised his head and stood straight for a while." Abu Qilaba
added, "Malik bin Huwairith in that demonstration prayed like
this Sheikh of ours, Abu Yazid." Abu, Yazid used to sit (for a
while) on raising his head from the second prostration before
getting up.
1.768:
Narrated Abu Bakr bin `Abdur Rahman Ibn Harith bin Hisham and
Abu Salama bin `Abdur Rahman: Abu Huraira used to say Takbir
in all the prayers, compulsory and optional −− in the month of
Ramadan or other months. He used to say Takbir on standing for
prayer and on bowing; then he would say, "Sami`a l−lahu liman
hamidah," and before prostrating he would say "Rabbana wa laka
l−hamd." Then he would say Takbir on prostrating and on
raising his head from the prostration, then another Takbir on
prostrating (for the second time), and on raising his head
from the prostration. He also would say the Takbir on standing
from the second rak`a. He used to do the same in every rak`a
till he completed the prayer. On completion of the prayer, he
would say, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is! No doubt my
prayer is closer to that of Allah's Apostle than yours, and
this was His prayer till he left this world." And Abu Huraira
said, "When Allah's Apostle raised his head from (bowing) he
used to say "Sami`a l−lahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa laka
l−hamd." He Would invoke Allah for some people by naming them:
"O Allah! Save Al−Walid bin Al−Walid and Salama bin Hisham and
`Aiyash bin Abi Rabi`a and the weak and the helpless people
among the faithful believers O Allah! Be hard on the tribe of
Mudar and let them suffer from famine years like that of the
time of Joseph." In those days the Eastern section of the
tribe of Mudar was against the Prophet.
1.769:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle fell from a horse and
the right side of his body was injured. We went to inquire
about his health meanwhile it was time for the prayer and he
led the prayer sitting and we also prayed while sitting. On
completion of the prayer he said, "The Imam is to be followed;
say Takbir when he says it; bow when he bows; rise when he
rises and when he says "Sami`a l−lahu liman hamidah," say,
"Rabbana wa laka l−hamd", and prostrate if he prostrates."
Sufyan narrated the same from Ma`mar. Ibn Juraij said that his
(the Prophet's) right leg had been injured.
1.770:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The people said, "O Allah's Apostle!
Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He replied,
"Do you have any doubt in seeing the full moon on a clear (not
cloudy) night?" They replied, "No, O Allah's Apostle!" He
said, "Do you have any doubt in seeing the sun when there are
no clouds?" They replied in the negative. He said, "You will
see Allah (your Lord) in the same way. On the Day of
Resurrection, people will be gathered and He will order the
people to follow what they used to worship. So some of them
will follow the sun, some will follow the moon, and some will
follow other deities; and only this nation (Muslims) will be
left with its hypocrites. Allah will come to them and say, 'I
am Your Lord.' They will say, 'We shall stay in this place
till our Lord comes to us and when our Lord will come, we will
recognize Him. Then Allah will come to them again and say, 'I
am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord.' Allah will
call them, and As−Sirat (a bridge) will be laid across Hell
and I (Muhammad) shall be the first amongst the Apostles to
cross it with my followers. Nobody except the Apostles will
then be able to speak and they will be saying then, 'O Allah!
Save us. O Allah Save us.' There will be hooks like the thorns
of Sa'dan [??] in Hell. Have you seen the thorns of Sa'dan
[??]?" The people said, "Yes." He said, "These hooks will be
like the thorns of Sa'dan [??] but nobody except Allah knows
their greatness in size and these will entangle the people
according to their deeds; some of them will fall and stay in
Hell forever; others will receive punishment (torn into small
pieces) and will get out of Hell, till when Allah intends
mercy on whomever He likes amongst the people of Hell, He will
order the angels to take out of Hell those who worshipped none
but Him alone. The angels will take them out by recognizing
them from the traces of prostrations, for Allah has forbidden
the (Hell) fire to eat away those traces. So they will come
out of the Fire, it will eat away from the whole of the human
body except the marks of the prostrations. At that time they
will come out of the Fire as mere skeletons. The Water of Life
will be poured on them and as a result they will grow like the
seeds growing on the bank of flowing water. Then when Allah
had finished from the Judgments amongst his creations, one man
will be left between Hell and Paradise and he will be the last
man from the people of Hell to enter paradise. He will be
facing Hell, and will say, 'O Allah! Turn my face from the
fire as its wind has dried me and its steam has burnt me.'
Allah will ask him, "Will you ask for anything more in case
this favor is granted to you?' He will say, "No by Your
(Honor) Power!" And he will give to his Lord (Allah) what he
will of the pledges and the covenants. Allah will then turn
his face from the Fire. When he will face Paradise and will
see its charm, he will remain quiet as long as Allah will. He
then will say, 'O my Lord! Let me go to the gate of Paradise.'
Allah will ask him, 'Didn't you give pledges and make
covenants (to the effect) that you would not ask for anything
more than what you requested at first?' He will say, 'O my
Lord! Do not make me the most wretched, amongst Your
creatures.' Allah will say, 'If this request is granted, will
you then ask for anything else?' He will say, 'No! By Your
Power! I shall not ask for anything else.' Then he will give
to his Lord what He will of the pledges and the covenants.
Allah will then let him go to the gate of Paradise. On
reaching then and seeing its life, charm, and pleasure, he
will remain quiet as long as Allah wills and then will say, 'O
my Lord ! Let me enter Paradise.' Allah will say, May Allah be
merciful unto you, O son of Adam! How treacherous you are!
Haven't you made covenants and given pledges that you will not
ask for anything more that what you have been given?' He will
say, 'O my Lord! Do not make me the most wretched amongst Your
creatures.' So Allah will laugh and allow him to enter
Paradise and will ask him to request as much as he likes. He
will do so till all his desires have been fulfilled . Then
Allah will say, 'Request more of such and such things.' Allah
will remind him and when all his desires and wishes; have been
fulfilled, Allah will say "All this is granted to you and a
similar amount besides." Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri, said to Abu
Huraira, 'Allah's Apostle said, "Allah said, 'That is for you
and ten times more like it.' "Abu Huraira said, "I do not
remember from Allah's Apostle except (his saying), 'All this
is granted to you and a similar amount besides." Abu Sa`id
said, "I heard him saying, 'That is for you and ten times more
the like of it."
1.771:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Malik bin Buhaina: Whenever the Prophet
used to offer prayer he used to keep arms away (from the body)
so that the whiteness of his armpits was visible.
1.772:
Narrated Abu Wail: Hudhaifa said, "I saw a person not
performing his bowing and prostrations perfectly. When he
completed the prayer, I told him that he had not prayed." I
think that Hudhaifa added (i.e. said to the man), "Had you
died, you would have died on a tradition other than that of
the Prophet Muhammad."
1.773:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet was ordered (by Allah) to
prostrate on seven parts and not to tuck up the clothes or
hair (while praying). Those parts are: the forehead (along
with the tip of nose), both hands, both knees, and (toes of)
both feet.
1.774:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, "We have been ordered
to prostrates on seven bones and not to tuck up the clothes or
hair."
1.775:
Narrated Al−Bara' bin `Azib: (He was not a liar) We used to
pray behind the Prophet and when he said, "Sami`a l−lahu liman
hamidah", none of us would bend his back (to go for
prostration) till the Prophet had placed his, forehead on the
ground.
1.776:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, "I have been ordered to
prostrate on seven bones i.e. on the forehead along with the
tip of the nose and the Prophet pointed towards his nose, both
hands, both knees and the toes of both feet and not to gather
the clothes or the hair."
1.777:
Narrated Abu Salama: Once I went to Abu− Sa`id Al−Khudri and
asked him, "Won't you come with us to the date−palm trees to
have a talk?" So Abu Sa`id went out and I asked him, "Tell me
what you heard from the Prophet about the Night of Qadr." Abu
Sa`id replied, "Once Allah's Apostle performed I`tikaf
(seclusion) on the first ten days of the month of Ramadan and
we did the same with him. Gabriel came to him and said, 'The
night you are looking for is ahead of you.' So the Prophet
performed the I`tikaf in the middle (second) ten days of the
month of Ramadan and we too performed I`tikaf with him.
Gabriel came to him and said, 'The night which you are looking
for is ahead of you.' In the morning of the 20th of Ramadan
the Prophet delivered a sermon saying, 'Whoever has performed
I`tikaf with me should continue it. I have been shown the
Night of "Qadr", but have forgotten its date, but it is in the
odd nights of the last ten nights. I saw in my dream that I
was prostrating in mud and water.' In those days the roof of
the mosque was made of branches of date−palm trees. At that
time the sky was clear and no cloud was visible, but suddenly
a cloud came and it rained. The Prophet led us in the prayer
and I saw the traces of mud on the forehead and on the nose of
Allah's Apostle. So it was the confirmation of that dream."
1.778:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: The people used to pray with the
Prophet tying their Izars around their necks because of their
small sizes and the women were directed that they should not
raise their heads from the prostrations till the men had sat
straight.
1.779:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet was ordered to prostrate on
seven bony parts and not to tuck up his clothes or hair.
1.780:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, "I have been ordered to
prostrate on seven (bones) and not to tuck up the hair or
garment."
1.781:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet used to say frequently in his bowing and
prostrations "Subhanaka l−lahumma Rabbana wa bihamdika,
Allahumma ghfir li" (Exalted [from unbecoming attributes] Are
you O Allah our Lord, and by Your praise [do I exalt you]. O
Allah! Forgive me). In this way [??] he was acting on what was
explained to him in the Holy Qur'an.
1.782:
Narrated Abu Qilaba: Once Malik bin Huwairith said to his
friends, "Shall I show you how Allah's Apostle used to offer
his prayers?" And it was not the time for any of the
compulsory congregational prayers. So he stood up (for the
prayer) bowed and said the Takbir, then he raised his head and
remained standing for a while and then prostrated and raised
his head for a while (sat up for a while). He prayed like our
Sheikh `Amr Ibn Salama. (Aiyub said, "The latter used to do a
thing which I did not see the people doing i.e. he used to sit
between the third and the fourth rak`a). Malik bin Huwairith
said, "We came to the Prophet (after embracing Islam) and
stayed with him. He said to us, 'When you go back to your
families, pray such and such a prayer at such and such a time,
pray such and such a prayer at such and such a time, and when
there is the time for the prayer then only of you should
pronounce the Adhan for the prayer and the oldest of you
should lead the prayer."
1.783:
Narrated Al−Bara': The time taken by the Prophet in
prostrations, bowing, and the sitting interval between the two
prostrations was about the same.
1.784:
Narrated Thabit:
Anas said, "I will leave no stone unturned in making you offer
the prayer as I have seen the Prophet making us offer it."
Anas used to do a thing which I have not seen you doing. He
used to stand after the bowing for such a long time that one
would think that he had forgotten (the prostrations) and he
used to sit in−between the prostrations so long that one would
think that he had forgotten the second prostration.
1.785:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, "Be straight in the
prostrations and none of you should put his forearms on the
ground (in the prostration) like a dog."
1.786:
Narrated Malik bin Huwairith Al−Laithi: I saw the Prophet
praying and in the odd rak`at, he used to sit for a moment
before getting up.
1.787:
Narrated Aiyub:
Abu Qilaba said, "Malik bin Huwairith came to us and led us in
the prayer in this mosque of ours and said, 'I lead you in
prayer but I do not want to offer the prayer but just to show
you how Allah's Apostle performed his prayers." I asked Abu
Qilaba, "How was the prayer of Malik bin Huwairith?" He
replied, "Like the prayer of this Sheikh of ours−− i.e. `Amr
bin Salima." That Sheikh used to pronounce the Takbir
perfectly and when he raised his head from the second
prostration he would sit for a while and then support himself
on the ground and get up.
1.788:
Narrated Sa`id bin Al−Harith: Abu Sa`id led us in the prayer
and said the Takbir aloud on arising from the prostration, and
on prostrating, on rising again, and on getting up from the
second rak`a. Abu Sa`id said, "I saw the Prophet doing the
same."
1.789:
Narrated Mutarrif: `Imran and I prayed behind `Ali bin Abi
Talib and he said Takbir on prostrating, on rising and on
getting up after the two rak`at (i.e. after the second rak`a).
When the prayer was finished, `Imran took me by the hand and
said, "He (`Ali) has prayed the prayer of Muhammad" (or said,
"He made us remember the prayer of Muhammad).
1.790:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abdullah: I saw `Abdullah bin `Umar
crossing his legs while sitting in the prayer and I, a mere
youngster in those days, did the same. Ibn `Umar forbade me to
do so, and said, "The proper way is to keep the right foot
propped up and bend the left in the prayer." I said
questioningly, "But you are doing so (crossing the legs)." He
said, "My feet cannot bear my weight."
1.791:
Narrated Muhammad bin `Amr bin `Ata': I was sitting with some
of the companions of Allah's Apostle and we were discussing
about the way of praying of the Prophet. Abu Humaid As−Sa`idi
said, "I remember the prayer of Allah's Apostle better than
any one of you. I saw him raising both his hands up to the
level of the shoulders on saying the Takbir; and on bowing he
placed his hands on both knees and bent his back straight,
then he stood up straight from bowing till all the vertebrate
took their normal positions. In prostrations, he placed both
his hands on the ground with the forearms away from the ground
and away from his body, and his toes were facing the Qibla. On
sitting In the second rak`a he sat on his left foot and
propped up the right one; and in the last rak`a he pushed his
left foot forward and kept the other foot propped up and sat
over the buttocks."
1.792:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Buhaina: (he was from the tribe of Uzd
Shanu'a [??] and was the ally of the tribe of `Abdul−Manaf and
was one of the companions of the Prophet): Once the Prophet
led us in the Zuhr prayer and stood up after the second rak`a
and did not sit down. The people stood up with him. When the
prayer was about to end and the people were waiting for him to
say the Taslim, he said Takbir while sitting and prostrated
twice before saying the Taslim and then he said the Taslim."
1.793:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Malik bin Buhaina: Once Allah's Apostle
led us in the Zuhr prayer and got up (after the prostrations
of the second rak`a) although he should have sat (for the
Tashahhud). So at the end of the prayer, he prostrated twice
while sitting (prostrations of Sahu).
1.794:
Narrated Shaqiq bin Salama: `Abdullah said, "Whenever we
prayed behind the Prophet we used to recite (in sitting)
'Peace be on Gabriel, Michael, peace be on so and so. Once
Allah's Apostle looked back at us and said, 'Allah Himself is
As−Salam (Peace), and if anyone of you prays then he should
say, at−Tahiyatu li l−lahi wa s−salawatu wa t−taiyibat.
As−salamu `alalika aiyuha n−Nabiyu wa rahmatu l−lahi wa
barakatuh. As−salamu `alaina wa `ala `ibadi l−lahi s−salihin.
(All the compliments, prayers and good things are due to
Allah; peace be on you, O Prophet, and Allah's mercy and
blessings [be on you]. Peace be on us an on the pious subjects
of Allah). (If you say that, it will reach all the subjects in
the heaven and the earth). Ash−hadu al−la ilaha illa l−lah, wa
ash−hadu anna Muhammadan `Abduhu wa Rasuluh. (I testify that
there is no Deity [worthy of worship] but Allah, and I testify
that Muhammad is His slave and His Apostle).
1.795:
Narrated `Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) Allah's Apostle used to invoke Allah
in the prayer saying "Allahumma inni a`udhu bika min `adhabi
l−qabr, wa a`udhu bika min fitnati l−masihi d−dajjal, wa
a`udhu bika min fitnati l−mahya wa fitnati l−mamat. Allahumma
inni a`udhu bika mina l−ma'thami wa l−maghram. (O Allah, I
seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave, from
the afflictions of the imposter−Messiah, and from the
afflictions of life and death. O Allah, I seek refuge with You
from sins and from debt)." Somebody said to him, "Why do you
so frequently seek refuge with Allah from being in debt?" The
Prophet replied, "A person in debt tells lies whenever he
speaks, and breaks promises whenever he makes (them)." `Aisha
also narrated: I heard Allah's Apostle in his prayer seeking
refuge with Allah from the afflictions of Ad−Dajjal.
1.796:
Narrated Abu Bakr As−Siddiq: I asked Allah's Apostle to teach
me an invocation so that I may invoke Allah with it in my
prayer. He told me to say, "Allahumma inni zalumtu nafsi
zulman kathiran, Wala yaghfiru dh−dhunuba illa anta, fa ghfir
li maghfiratan min `indika, wa r−hamni, innaka anta l−ghafuru
r−rahim (O Allah! I have done great injustice to myself and
none except You forgives sins, so bestow on me a forgiveness
from You, and Have Mercy on me, You are the Forgiver, the
Merciful).
1.797:
Narrated `Abdullah: When we prayed with the Prophet we used to
say, "Peace be on Allah from His slaves and peace be on so and
so." The Prophet said, "Don't say As−Salam be on Allah, for He
Himself is As−Salam, but say, at−tahiyatu li l−lahi wa
s−salawatu wa t−taiyibat. As−salamu `alaika aiyuha n−Nabiyu wa
rahmatu l−lahi wa barakatuh. As−salamu `alaina wa `ala `ibadi
l−lahi s−salihin. (If you say this then it will reach all the
slaves in heaven or between heaven and earth). Ash−hadu al
la−ilaha illa l−lah, wa ash−hadu anna Muhammadan `Abduhu wa
Rasuluh.' Then select the invocation you like best and recite
it." (See Hadith No. 794, 795 & 796).
1.798:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri: I saw Allah's Apostle
prostrating in mud and water and saw the mark of mud on his
forehead.
1.799:
Narrated Um Salama: Whenever Allah's Apostle finished his
prayers with Taslim, the women would get up and he would stay
on for a while in his place before getting up. Ibn Shihab
said, "I think (and Allah knows better), that the purpose of
his stay was that the women might leave before the men who had
finished their prayer. "
1.800:
Narrated `Itban bin Malik: We prayed with the Prophet and used
to finish our prayer with the Taslim along with him.
1.801:
Narrated Mahmud bin Ar−Rabi`: I remember Allah's Apostle and
also the mouthful of water which he took from a bucket in our
house and ejected (on me). I heard from `Itban bin Malik
Al−Ansari, who was one from Bani Salim, saying, "I used to
lead my tribe of Bani Salim in prayer. Once I went to the
Prophet and said to him, 'I have weak eyesight and at times
the rainwater flood intervenes between me and the mosque of my
tribe and I wish that you would come to my house and pray at
some place so that I could take that place as a place for
praying (mosque). He said, "Allah willing, I shall do that."
Next day Allah's Apostle along with Abu Bakr, came to my house
after the sun had risen high and he asked permission to enter.
I gave him permission, but he didn't sit till he said to me,
"Where do you want me to pray in your house?" I pointed to a
place in the house where I wanted him to pray. So he stood up
for the prayer and we aligned behind him. He completed the
prayer with Taslim and we did the same simultaneously."
1.802:
Narrated Abu Ma`bad: (the freed slave of Ibn `Abbas) Ibn
`Abbas told me, "In the lifetime of the Prophet it was the
custom to celebrate Allah's praises aloud after the compulsory
congregational prayers." Ibn `Abbas further said, "When I
heard the Dhikr, I would learn that the compulsory
congregational prayer had ended."
1.803:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: I used to recognize the completion of the
prayer of the Prophet by hearing Takbir.
1.804:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Some poor people came to the Prophet and
said, "The wealthy people will get higher grades and will have
permanent enjoyment and they pray like us and fast as we do.
They have more money by which they perform the Hajj, and
`Umra; fight and struggle in Allah's Cause and give in
charity." The Prophet said, "Shall I not tell you a thing upon
which if you acted you would catch up with those who have
surpassed you? Nobody would overtake you and you would be
better than the people amongst whom you live except those who
would do the same. Say "Subhana l−lah", "Al hamdu li l−lah"
and "Allahu Akbar" thirty three times each after every
(compulsory) prayer." We differed and some of us said that we
should say, "Subhan−al−lah" thirty three times and "Al hamdu
li l−lah" thirty three times and "Allahu Akbar" thirty four
times. I went to the Prophet who said, "Say, "Subhan−al−lah"
and "Al hamdu li l−lah" and "Allahu Akbar" all together [??],
thirty three times."
1.805:
Narrated Warrad:
(the clerk of Al−Mughira bin Shu`ba) Once Al−Mughira dictated
to me in a letter addressed to Muawiya that the Prophet used
to say after every compulsory prayer, "La ilaha illa l−lahu
wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahu l−mulku wa lahu l−hamdu, wa huwa
`ala kulli shay'in qadir. Allahumma la mani`a lima a`taita, wa
la mu`tiya lima mana`ta, wa la yanfa`u dhal−jaddi minka
l−jadd. [There is no Deity but Allah, Alone, no Partner to
Him. His is the Kingdom and all praise, and Omnipotent is he.
O Allah! Nobody can hold back what you gave, nobody can give
what You held back, and no struggler's effort can benefit
against You]." And Al−Hasan said, "Al−jadd' means prosperity
[??]."
1.806:
Narrated Samura bin Jundub: The Prophet used to face us on
completion of the prayer.
1.807:
Narrated Zaid bin Khalid Al−Juhani: The Prophet led us in the
Fajr prayer at Hudaibiya after a rainy night. On completion of
the prayer, he faced the people and said, "Do you know what
your Lord has said (revealed)?" The people replied, "Allah and
His Apostle know better." He said, "Allah has said, 'In this
morning some of my slaves remained as true believers and some
became non−believers; whoever said that the rain was due to
the Blessings and the Mercy of Allah had belief in Me and he
disbelieves in the stars, and whoever said that it rained
because of a particular star had no belief in Me but believes
in that star.' "
1.808:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Once the Prophet delayed the `Isha'
prayer until midnight and then came to us. Having prayed he

were in the prayer as long as you were waiting for it."

Narrated Um Salama: "The Prophet after finishing the prayer
with Taslim used to stay at his place for a while." Ibn Shihab
said, "I think (and Allah knows better), that he used to wait
for the departure of the women who had prayed." Ibn Shihab
wrote that he had heard it from Hind bint Al−Harith
Al−Firasiya from Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet (Hind was
from the companions of Um Salama) who said, "When the Prophet
finished the prayer with Taslim, the women would depart and
enter their houses before Allah's Apostle departed."
1.810:
Narrated `Uqba:
I offered the `Asr prayer behind the Prophet at Medina. When
he had finished the prayer with Taslim, he got up hurriedly
and went out by crossing the rows of the people to one of the
dwellings of his wives. The people got scared at his speed .
The Prophet came back and found the people surprised at his
haste and said to them, "I remembered a piece of gold Lying in
my house and I did not like it to divert my attention from
Allah's worship, so I have ordered it to be distributed (in
charity).
1.811:
Narrated `Abdullah: You should not give away a part of your
prayer to Satan by thinking that it is necessary to depart
(after finishing the prayer) from one's right side only; I
have seen the Prophet often leave from the left side.

Prophet said, "Whoever ate from this plant (i.e. garlic)
should not enter our mosque."

I heard Jabir bin `Abdullah saying, "The Prophet said,
'Whoever eats (from) this plant (he meant garlic) should keep
away from our mosque." I said, "What does he mean by that?" He
replied, "I think he means only raw garlic."
1.814:

garlic or onion should keep away from our mosque or should
remain in his house." (Jabir bin `Abdullah, in another
narration said, "Once a big pot containing cooked vegetables
was brought. On finding unpleasant smell coming from it, the
Prophet asked, 'What is in it?' He was told all the names of
the vegetables that were in it. The Prophet ordered that it
should be brought near to some of his companions who were with
him. When the Prophet saw it he disliked to eat it and said,
'Eat. (I don't eat) for I converse with those whom you don't
converse with (i.e. the angels).
1.815:
Narrated `Abdul `Aziz: A man asked Anas, "What did you hear
from the Prophet about garlic?" He said, "The Prophet said,
'Whoever has eaten this plant should neither come near us nor
pray with us."

saying, "A person who was accompanying the Prophet passed by a
grave that was separated from the other graves told me that
the Prophet once led the people in the (funeral) prayer and
the people had aligned behind him. I said, "O Aba `Amr! Who
told you about it?" He said, "Ibn `Abbas."

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri: The Prophet said, "Ghusl (taking
a bath) on Friday is compulsory for every Muslim reaching the
age of puberty."
1.818:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: One night I slept at the house of my aunt
Maimuna and the Prophet slept (too). He got up (for prayer) in
the last hours of the night and performed a light ablution
from a hanging leather skin. (`Amr, the sub−narrator described
that the ablution was very light). Then he stood up for prayer
and I got up too and performed the ablution in the same way
and joined him on his left side. He pulled me to the right and
prayed as much as Allah will. Then he lay down and slept and I
heard his breath sounds till the Mu'adh−dhin came to him to
inform him about the (Fajr) prayer. He left with him for the
prayer and prayed without repeating the ablution. (Sufyan the
sub−narrator said: We said to `Amr, "Some people say, 'The
eyes of the Prophet sleep but his heart never sleeps.' " `Amr
said, "'Ubai bin `Umar said, 'The dreams of the Prophets are
Divine Inspirations. Then he recited, '(O my son), I have seen
in dream that I was slaughtering you (offering you in
sacrifice).") (37.102)
1.819:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: My grandmother Mulaika invited
Allah's Apostle for a meal which she had prepared specially
for him. He ate some of it and said, "Get up. I shall lead you
in the prayer." I brought a mat that had become black owing to
excessive use and I sprinkled water on it. Allah's Apostle
stood on it and prayed two rak`at; and the orphan was with me
(in the first row), and the old lady stood behind us.
1.820:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Once I came riding a she−ass and I, then,
had just attained the age of puberty. Allah's Apostle was
leading the people in prayer at Mina facing no wall. I passed
in front of the row and let loose the she−ass for grazing and
joined the row and no one objected to my deed.
1.821:
Narrated `Aisha:
Once Allah's Apostle delayed the `Isha' prayer till `Umar
informed him that the women and children had slept. Then
Allah's Apostle came out and said: "None from amongst the
dwellers of earth have prayed this prayer except you." In
those days none but the people of Medina prayed.
1.822:
Narrated `Abdur Rahman bin `Abis: A person asked Ibn `Abbas,
"Have you ever presented yourself at the (`Id) prayer with
Allah's Apostle?" He replied, "Yes." And had it not been for
my kinship (position) with the Prophet it would not have been
possible for me to do so (for he was too young). The Prophet
went to the mark near the house of Kathir bin As−Salt and
delivered a sermon. He then went towards the women. He advised
and reminded them and asked them to give alms. So the woman
would bring her hand near her neck and take off her necklace
and put it in the garment of Bilal. Then the Prophet and Bilal
came to the house."
1.823:
Narrated `Aisha:
Once Allah's Apostle delayed the `Isha' prayer till `Umar
informed him that the women and children had slept. The
Prophet came out and said, "None except you from amongst the
dwellers of earth is waiting for this prayer." In those days,
there was no prayer except in Medina and they used to pray the
`Isha' prayer between the disappearance of the twilight and
the first third of the night.

permission to go to the mosque at night, allow them."

of Allah's Apostle the women used to get up when they finished
their compulsory prayers with Taslim. The Prophet and the men
would stay on at their places as long as Allah will. When the
Prophet got up, the men would then get up.
1.826:
Narrated `Aisha:
When Allah's Apostle finished the Fajr prayer, the women would
leave covered in their sheets and were not recognized owing to
the darkness.
1.827:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi Qatada Al−Ansari: My father said,
"Allah's Apostle said, "Whenever I stand for prayer, I want to
prolong it but on hearing the cries of a child, I would
shorten it as I dislike to put its mother in trouble."
1.828:
Narrated `Aisha:
Had Allah's Apostle known what the women were doing, he would
have forbidden them from going to the mosque as the women of
Bani Israel had been forbidden. Yahya bin Sa`id (a
sub−narrator) asked `Amra (another sub−narrator), "Were the
women of Bani Israel forbidden?" She replied "Yes."
1.829:
Narrated Um Salama: Whenever Allah's Apostle completed the
prayer with Taslim, the women used to get up immediately and
Allah's Apostle would remain at his place for someone before
getting up. (The sub−narrator (Az−Zuhri) said, "We think, and
Allah knows better, that he did so, so that the women might
leave before men could get in touch with them).

still dark and the believing women used to return (after

to darkness, or they could not recognize one another.

said, 'If the wife of any one of you asks permission (to go to
the mosque) do not forbid her."
