"We came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we were young men close in age. He let us stay with him for twenty days. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was merciful and compassionate, and he thought that we were missing our families; he asked us about those whom we had left behind of our families, so we told him, and he said: 'Go back to your families, stay with them and teach them. Tell them when the time for prayer comes; let one of you call the Adhan and let the oldest of you lead the prayer.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 635)  

أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ شَبَبَةٌ مُتَقَارِبُونَ فَأَقَمْنَا عِنْدَهُ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً قَالَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَحِيمًا رَفِيقًا فَظَنَّ أَنَّا قَدِ اشْتَقْنَا أَهْلَنَا فَسَأَلَنَا عَمَّنْ تَرَكْنَا فِي أَهْلِنَا فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ فَقَالَ ارْجِعُوا إِلَى أَهْلِيكُمْ فَأَقِيمُوا فِيهِمْ وَعَلِّمُوهُمْ وَمُرُوهُمْ إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ لَكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ ثُمَّ لِيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَكْبَرُكُمْ  

Abu Sulaiman Malik b. al-Huwairth came to our mosque, and said: By Allah, I Shall offer prayer, though I do not intend to pray; I only intend to show you how I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying. The narrator said: ( He then prayed and ) he sat at the end of the first rak’ah when he raised his head after the last prostration. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 843)   

وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأُصَلِّي وَمَا أُرِيدُ الصَّلَاةَ وَلَكِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُرِيَكُمْ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي قَالَ فَقَعَدَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى حِينَ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السَّجْدَةِ الْأَخِيرَةِ ثُمَّ قَامَ  

He saw the Prophet ﷺ raise his hands when praying, when he bowed, when he raised his head from bowing, when he prostrated and when he raised his head from prostrating, until they were in level with the top part of his ears. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1085)   

أَنَّهُ رَأَى نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فِي صَلَاتِهِ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ رُكُوعِهِ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ سُجُودِهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said to him and to his companion: 'When the prayer is due, both of you give the Adhan and establish it.' He said once, 'Then establish it, then let the one with the most knowledge among you lead the prayer.' Khalid said, 'So I asked Abu Qilaba, 'Where is the recitation?' He said, 'Indeed, they used to recite in a similar manner.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ وَلِصَاحِبٍ لَهُ إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَأَذِّنَا وَأَقِيمَا وَقَالَ مَرَّةً فَأَقِيمَا ثُمَّ لِيَؤُمَّكُمَا أَكْبَرُكُمَا قَالَ خَالِدٌ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي قِلَابَةَ فَأَيْنَ الْقِرَاءَةُ؟ قَالَ إِنَّهُمَا كَانَا مُتَقَارِبَيْنِ  

[Machine] "So the prayer was established and they said, 'We seek your forgiveness, may Allah have mercy on you.' He said, 'No man among you should lead the prayer.' He then said, 'When a man visits a people, he should not lead them in prayer; instead, one of them should lead them.'"  

فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَقَالُوا أُمَّنَا رَحِمَكَ اللهُ فَقَالَ لَا يُصَلِّي رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺقَالَ إِذَا زَارَ رَجُلٌ قَوْمًا فَلَا يَؤُمَّهُمْ يَؤُمُّهُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ  

[Machine] He used to come to our mosque, so it was said to him "please step forward and lead the prayer." He replied, "Let one of you lead the prayer for you until I inform you why I do not lead the prayer for you." So when the people had finished praying, he said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'When one of you visits a people, let him not lead the prayer for them, rather let a man from among them lead.'"  

كَانَ يَأْتِينَا فِي مُصَلَّانَا فَقِيلَ لَهُ تَقَدَّمْ فَصَلِّ فَقَالَ لِيُصَلِّ بَعْضُكُمْ حَتَّى أُحَدِّثَكُمْ لِمَ لَمْ أُصَلِّ بِكُمْ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى الْقَوْمُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا زَارَ أَحَدُكُمْ قَوْمًا فَلَا يُصَلِّ بِهِمْ لِيُصَلِّ بِهِمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ  

He saw the Prophet ﷺ raise his hands when he bowed, and when he raised his head from bowing, until they were in level with the highest part of his ears. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1056)   

أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ
