[Machine] "That I pray with you as I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying with us," Thabit said, "And Anas used to do something that I don't see you doing. When he raised his head from the bowing position, he would stand still until the person behind him said, 'He has forgotten.' And when he raised his head between the two prostrations, he would sit until the person behind him said, 'He has forgotten the phrase of the hadith of Sulaiman ibn Harb.'"  

أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ بِكُمْ كَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي بِنَا قَالَ ثَابِتٌ وَكَانَ أَنَسٌ يَصْنَعُ شَيْئًا لَا أَرَاكُمْ تَصْنَعُونَهُ كَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ قَامَ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ قَدْ نَسِيَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ قَعَدَ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ قَدْ نَسِيَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ حَرْبٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to mention the Hadith regarding the description of his prayer. He said: "When he raised his head from bowing, he would not prostrate until he stood upright, and when he raised his head from prostration, he would not prostrate until he sat straight."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي صِفَةِ صَلَاتِهِ وَقَالَتْ كَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ لَمْ يَسْجُدْ حَتَّى يَسْتَوِيَ قَائِمًا وَكَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ لَمْ يَسْجُدْ حَتَّى يَسْتَوِيَ قَاعِدًا  

[Machine] to his companions, "Shall I not show you how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray?" He then stood up and performed the prayer. He then raised his head and stood straight for a while, then he prostrated. He then raised his head and waited for a moment, then he prostrated again. Abu Qilaba said, "Our Sheikh, Amr ibn Salama, prayed in this manner." Ayyub said, "Amr used to do something that I do not see people doing. When he raised his head from the last two prostrations in the first and third units, he sat down for a moment and then stood up."  

لِأَصْحَابِهِ أَلَا أُرِيكُمْ كَيْفَ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَذَلِكَ فِي غَيْرِ حِينَ صَلَاةٍ فَقَامَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَكَبَّرَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَامَ هُنَيْئَةً ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ انْتَظَرَ هُنَيْئَةً ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ صَلَّى صَلَاةَ شَيْخِنَا هَذَا يَعْنِي عَمْرَو بْنَ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ أَيُّوبُ وَكَانَ عَمْرٌو يَصْنَعُ شَيْئًا لَا أَرَى النَّاسَ يَصْنَعُونَهُ كَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ آخِرِ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ فِي الْأُولَى وَالثَّالِثَةِ اسْتَوَى قَاعِدًا ثُمَّ يَقُومُ  

[Machine] Abu Humaid, Abu Usaid, Sahl bin Saad, and Muhammad bin Muslimah gathered together and mentioned the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Abu Humaid said, "I have the most knowledge about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." So, he mentioned it and mentioned the prostration. Then, he raised his head until every bone returned to its place.  

اجْتَمَعَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ وَأَبُو أُسَيْدٍ وَسَهْلُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ فَذَكَرُوا صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ أَنَا أَعْلَمُكُمْ بِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَهَا وَذَكَرَ السُّجُودَ قَالَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ حَتَّى رَجَعَ كُلُّ عَظْمٍ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ  

"Shall I not show you how I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray?" We said: "Yes." So he stood up and when he bowed, he placed his palms on his knees and put his fingers behind his knees, and held his arms out from his sides, until every part of him settled. Then he raised his head and stood up until every part of him settled. Then he prostrated and held his arms out from his sides, until every part of him settled. Then he sat up until every part of him settled. Then he prostrated again until every part of him settled. Then he did four rak'ahs like that. Then he said: "This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray, and this is how he used to lead us in prayer." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1037)   

قَالَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو أَلَا أُصَلِّي كَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي؟ فَقُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي فَلَمَّا رَكَعَ وَضَعَ رَاحَتَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَجَعَلَ أَصَابِعَهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَجَافَى إِبْطَيْهِ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَامَ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَجَافَى إِبْطَيْهِ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَعَدَ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ صَنَعَ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي وَهَكَذَا كَانَ يُصَلِّي بِنَا
