[Machine] "From the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , it was narrated that he used to make the four units of prayer equal in recitation and standing. He would make the first unit the longest, so that people could catch up, and he would make men stand in front of boys and boys stand behind them, while women stand behind the boys. He would say the takbeer (Allahu Akbar) every time he prostrated and every time he raised from prostration, and he would say the takbeer every time he stood up between the two units of prayer if he was sitting."  

أحمد:٢٢٩١١حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ يَعْنِي شَيْبَانَ وَلَيْثٌ عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُسَوِّي بَيْنَ الْأَرْبَعِ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ وَالْقِيَامِ وَيَجْعَلُ الرَّكْعَةَ الْأُولَى هِيَ أَطْوَلُهُنَّ لِكَيْ يَثُوبَ النَّاسُ وَيَجْعَلُ الرِّجَالَ قُدَّامَ الْغِلْمَانِ وَالْغِلْمَانَ خَلْفَهُمْ وَالنِّسَاءَ خَلْفَ الْغِلْمَانِ وَيُكَبِّرُ كُلَّمَا سَجَدَ وَكُلَّمَا رَفَعَ وَيُكَبِّرُ كُلَّمَا نَهَضَ بَيْنَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ إِذَا كَانَ جَالِسًا
