The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to begin prayer with takbir (saying Allahu Akbar) and the recitation: "Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Universe." When he bowed he neither kept his head up nor bent it down, but kept it between these extremes; when he raised his head after bowing he did not prostrate himself till he had stood erect; when he raised his head after prostration he did not prostrate himself again till he sat up. At the end of every two rak'ahs he recited the tahiyya; and he used to place his left foot flat (on the ground) and raise up the right; he prohibited the devil's way of sitting on the heels, and he forbade people to spread out their arms like a wild beast. And he used to finish the prayer with the taslim. (Using translation from Muslim 498)

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَفْتَتِحُ الصَّلَاةَ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ وَالْقِرَاءَةِ بِالْحَمْدِ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَكَانَ إِذَا رَكَعَ لَمْ يُشْخِصْ رَأْسَهُ وَلَمْ يُصَوِّبْهُ وَلَكِنْ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ وَكَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ لَمْ يَسْجُدْ حَتَّى يَسْتَوِيَ قَائِمًا وَكَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ لَمْ يَسْجُدْ حَتَّى يَسْتَوِيَ قَاعِدًا وَكَانَ يَفْرِشُ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى وَيَنْصِبُ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى وَكَانَ يَقُولُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَحِيَّةٌ وَكَانَ يَنْهَانَا عَنْ عَقِبِ الشَّيْطَانِ وَكَانَ يَنْهَانَا أَنْ يَفْرِشَ أَحَدُنَا ذِرَاعَيْهِ افْتِرَاشَ السَّبُعِ وَكَانَ يَخْتِمُ الصَّلَاةَ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ وَلَفْظُهُمَا سَوَاءٌ إِلَّا أَنَّ فِي رِوَايَةِ يَزِيدَ وَكَانَ يَنْهَى عَنْ عَقِبِ الشَّيْطَانِ قَالَ عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى عَقِبُ الشَّيْطَانِ أَنْ يَقْعُدَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ قَدَمَيْهِ جَمِيعًا

[Machine] When we used to pray behind the Prophet ﷺ, we would say, by motioning with his index finger, "Assalamu alaikum, assalamu alaikum". Then the Prophet ﷺ said to us, "What is wrong with some people who throw their hands in prayer as if they were the tails of horses? Is it not sufficient for any of you, or for one of you, to place his hand on his thigh, then to greet his brother from his right and left (side)?"

كُنَّا إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قُلْنَا يَعْنِي الْإِشَارَةَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ السَّبَابَةِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَ لَنَا يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَرْمُونَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ الْخَيْلِ الشُّمْسِ أَلَا يَكْفِي أَحَدَكُمْ أَوْ أَحَدَهُمْ أَنْ يَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمَ عَلَى أَخِيهِ مِنْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ

[Machine] If we pray behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and one of us finishes his prayer, he should signal with his hand from his right and from his left. When he finishes, he should say, "What is the matter with any of you throwing his hand as if they are the tails of sunlit horses? Is it not sufficient for any of you to say like this?" And he pointed with his finger and greeted his brother from his right and from his left.

إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَلَّمَ أَحَدُنَا أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ مِنْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَمِنْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى قَالَ مَا بَالُ أَحَدِكُمْ يَرْمِي بِيَدِهِ كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ خَيْلٍ شُمْسٍ إِنَّمَا يَكْفِي أَوَلَا يَكْفِي أَحَدَكُمْ أَنْ يَقُولَ هَكَذَا وَأَشَارَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ وَيُسَلِّمُ عَلَى أَخِيهِ مِنْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَمِنْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ؟

[Machine] Narrated by Ali, he said that the Prophet ﷺ said, "The key to prayer is purification, its initiation is the Takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar), and its conclusion is the Tasleem (saying As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah)." This was also narrated in the Hadith of Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri and others from the Prophet ﷺ . This indicates the weakness of...

عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مِفْتَاحُ الصَّلَاةِ الطُّهُورُ وَإِحْرَامُهَا التَّكْبِيرُ وَإِحْلَالُهَا التَّسْلِيمُ وَرُوِّينَا ذَلِكَ فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ وَغَيْرِهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَفِي ذَلِكَ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى ضِعْفِ

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet, ﷺ , and if this is true about him, then it is concealed by what

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَإِنْ صَحَّ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُ فَهُوَ مَحْجُوجٌ بِمَا

[Machine] Abdullah said, "The takbir is the opening of the prayer, and its closure is the taslim when the imam says it. So stand up if you wish. And this authentic narration is evidence of the correctness of what we say."

قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ مِفْتَاحُ الصَّلَاةِ التَّكْبِيرُ وَانْقِضَاؤُهَا التَّسْلِيمُ إِذَا سَلَّمَ الْإِمَامُ فَقُمْ إِنْ شِئْتَ وَهَذَا الْأَثَرُ الصَّحِيحُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ يَدُلُّ عَلَى صِحَّةِ مَا نَقُولُ

[Machine] And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the hand of Abdullah and taught him the Tashahhud (saying in the prayer): "Say: All greetings, prayers, and good things are for Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and on the righteous servants of Allah." Abu Khaythamah said: "And some of our companions added to this hadith from Hasan: 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.'" Abu Khaythamah said: "I have preserved this from Hasan in the rest of this hadith: if you do this or fulfill this, then you have fulfilled your prayer. If you wish to stand, then stand. And if you wish to sit, then sit. This is a hadith that has been transmitted."

وَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَعَلَّمَهُ التَّشَهُّدَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَقَالَ قُلْ التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحَمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ قَالَ أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ وَزَادَنِي فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنِ الْحَسَنِ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ بَلَغَ حِفْظِي عَنِ الْحَسَنِ فِي بَقِيَّةِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ هَذَا أَوْ قَضَيْتَ هَذَا فَقَدْ قَضَيْتَ صَلَاتَكَ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تَقُومَ فَقُمْ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تَقْعُدَ فَاقْعُدْ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ قَدْ

[Machine] Abdullah bin Mas'ood, when you have finished this, you have indeed fulfilled your prayer. So, if you wish, then stand up and if you wish, then sit down.

عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ إِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ هَذَا فَقَدْ قَضَيْتَ صَلَاتَكَ فَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَقُمْ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَاقْعُدْ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ taught me the Tashahhud, which he mentioned to his servant and messenger. Abdullah bin Mas'ud said, "When you have finished your prayer, if you wish, remain seated, and if you wish, leave." The Sheikh said, may Allah have mercy on him, "And this statement, 'When you have finished your prayer,' if it is preserved, is similar to what we have narrated from Abdullah bin Mas'ud regarding the end of the prayer with the Tasleem, and what we have narrated from him from the Prophet ﷺ regarding the Tasleem, as if he intended to refute those who claimed that it is not permissible for the follower to leave after finishing the prayer before the Imam leaves. And if the first statement is proven from the Prophet ﷺ , it is known that the Prophet's teaching of Abdullah bin Mas'ud the Tashahhud in the prayer was at the beginning of what was legislated for Tashahhud, and then after that, the prayer was legislated upon the Prophet ﷺ based on their saying, 'We have greeted you with peace, so how should the prayer be upon you?' Then the Tasleem was legislated in the prayer with him or after him, so the matter is referring to him, and Allah knows best. And the one who affirms this..."

عَلَّمَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ التَّشَهُّدَ فَذَكَرَهُ إِلَى عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ صَلَاتِكَ فَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَاثْبُتْ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَانْصَرِفْ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَهَذِهِ اللَّفْظَةُ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ صَلَاتِكَ إِنْ كَانَتْ مَحْفُوظَةً أَشْبَهُ بِمَا رُوِّينَا عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فِي انْقِضَاءِ الصَّلَاةِ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ وَبِمَا سَنَرْوِيهِ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي التَّسْلِيمِ وَكَأَنَّهُ أَرَادَ خِلَافَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَجُوزُ لِلْمَأْمُومِ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ بَعْدَ الْفَرَاغِ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ قَبْلَ انْصِرَافِ الْإِمَامِ وَإِنْ كَانَتِ اللَّفْظَةُ الْأُولَى ثَابِتَةً عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَمَعْلُومٌ أَنَّ تَعْلِيمَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ تَشَهُّدَ الصَّلَاةِ كَانَ فِي ابْتِدَاءِ مَا شُرِعَ التَّشَهُّدُ ثُمَّ كَانَ بَعْدَهُ شُرِعَتِ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِدَلِيلِ قَوْلِهِمْ قَدْ عَرَفْنَا السَّلَامَ عَلَيْكَ فَكَيْفَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَيْكَ ثُمَّ شُرِعَ التَّسْلِيمُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ مَعَهُ أَوْ بَعْدَهُ فَصَارَ الْأَمْرُ إِلَيْهِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ وَالَّذِي يُؤَكِّدُ هَذَا

[Machine] That when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished reciting the Tashahhud in the prayer, he would turn his face towards the people before giving the salutation, and he would do the same.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا قَضَى التَّشَهُّدَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ بِوَجْهِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ التَّسْلِيمُ وَكَذَلِكَ

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When the Imam finishes the prayer and sits, and then something affects him before he speaks, his prayer is completed. And whoever is behind him, if he completes the prayer, then his prayer is not valid. And 'Abdul-Rahman bin Ziyad mentioned it, and he has a different wording, and 'Abdul-Rahman is not relied upon as evidence. Yahya Al-Qattan and 'Abdul-Rahman bin Mahdi do not narrate it from him due to his weakness and the criticism of Ahmad bin Hanbal and Yahya bin Ma'in and others from the memorizers. Then the answer regarding it is like the answer to what we have narrated from Ibn Mas'ud. And with Allah is the facilitation."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا قَضَى الْإِمَامُ الصَّلَاةَ وَقَعَدَ فَأَحْدَثَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ فَقَدْ تَمَّتْ صَلَاتُهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ خَلْفَهُ مِمَّنْ أَتَمَّ الصَّلَاةَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَصِحُّ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ يَنْفَرِدُ بِهِ وَهُوَ مُخْتَلِفٌ عَلَيْهِ فِي لَفْظِهِ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ لَا يُحْتَجُّ بِهِ كَانَ يَحْيَى الْقَطَّانُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ لَا يُحَدِّثَانِ عَنْهُ لِضَعْفِهِ وَجَرَّحَهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ وَغَيْرُهُمَا مِنَ الْحُفَّاظِ ثُمَّ الْجَوَابُ عَنْهُ كَالْجَوَابِ عَمَّا رُوِّينَا عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ

[Machine] I prayed behind a man in Mecca who made two prostrations after the prayer and I mentioned that to Abdullah. He asked, "How did he understand that?" Al-Hakam said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do that."

صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَجُلٍ بِمَكَّةَ فَسَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمَتَيْنِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ أَنَّى عَقَلَهَا؟ وَقَالَ الْحَكَمُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ

[Machine] "That the imam of the people of Mecca, may ﷺ , performed two salutations, so I mentioned it to Abdullah. Abdullah said, 'How did he perform them?'"

أَنَّ إِمَامًا لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمَتَيْنِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ أَنَّى عَلِقَهَا؟

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to greet by saying "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah" with his right hand until the whiteness of his right cheek was visible, and with his left hand until the whiteness of his left cheek was visible. This is a hadith.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ الْأَيْسَرِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raising his hands in every takbeer, as well as in every raf', wudu', qiyam, and sitting. He used to give salutations from his right side and his left side, until I could see the whiteness of his cheeks in both of them. I also saw Abu Bakr and Umar doing the same. And Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us, narrating from Abu al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, narrating from al-Hasan ibn Mukram, narrating from Abu al-Nadr, narrating from Abu Khaythamah, narrating from Abu Ishaq, narrating from Abu Bakr ibn al-Hasan al-Qadi who reported that Abu Ja'far ibn Duheim informed him, narrating from Ahmad ibn Hazim, narrating from Ishaq ibn Mansur al-Saluli, narrating from Israil and Zuhair, narrating from Abu Ishaq with similar words, and he added, "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah," and "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah," and "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah." And I saw Abu Bakr and Umar doing the same. And likewise.

أَنَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُكَبِّرُ فِي كُلِّ رَفْعٍ وَوَضْعٍ وَقِيَامٍ وَقُعُودٍ وَيُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ حَتَّى أَرَى بَيَاضَ خَدَّيْهِ فِي كِلَيْهِمَا وَرَأَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ يَفْعَلَانِ ذَلِكَ 2976 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ ثنا أَبُو النَّضْرِ ثنا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ثنا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي أنبأ أَبُو جَعْفَرِ بْنُ دُحَيْمٍ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ السَّلُولِيُّ ثنا إِسْرَائِيلُ وَزُهَيْرٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ بِمِثْلِهِ وَزَادَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَرَأَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ يَفْعَلَانِهِ وَكَذَلِكَ

[Machine] What I have not forgotten is that I always used to greet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in prayer from his right and his left saying, "Peace and mercy be upon you." Then he said, "It is as if I am looking at the whiteness of his cheeks, like this."

مَا نَسِيتُ مِنَ الْأَشْيَاءِ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ تَسْلِيمَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَيَاضِ خَدَّيْهِ وَكَذَلِكَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to greet with his right hand and his left hand, until his cheek was visible saying, "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah." This is reported by Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas and Jabir bin Samurah from the Prophet ﷺ.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ خَدُّهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَهُوَ ثَابِتٌ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ وَجَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ

[Machine] I used to see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ greet with his right hand and with his left hand, until I could see the whiteness of his cheek.

كُنْتُ أَرَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ حَتَّى أَرَى بَيَاضَ خَدِّهِ

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offering the prayer with two greetings. One greeting with his right hand saying, "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah," and one greeting with his left hand saying, "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah, until the whiteness of his cheeks could be seen from here and here." So, I mentioned this hadith to Az-Zuhri and he said, "This is a hadith that I have not heard from the hadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." So, Isma'il bin Muhammad said to him, "Have you eaten the hadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?'' He said, "No.'' He said, "So, have you heard two-thirds of it?'' He said, "No.'' He said, "Then have you heard half of it?'' Az-Zuhri stood at half or two-thirds of it and said to him, "Put this hadith in what you have not heard.''

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُسَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ تَسْلِيمَتَيْنِ تَسْلِيمَةً عَنْ يَمِينِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَتَسْلِيمَةً عَنْ يَسَارِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ خَدَّيْهِ مِنْ هَاهُنَا وَهَاهُنَا قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ فَقَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَكُلَّ حَدِيثِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَمِعْتَ؟ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ لَا قَالَ فَثُلُثَيْهِ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَنِصْفَهُ؟ فَوَقَفَ الزُّهْرِيُّ عِنْدَ النِّصْفِ أَوْ عِنْدَ الثُّلُثِ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِسْمَاعِيلُ اجْعَلْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فِيمَا لَمْ تَسْمَعْ

[Machine] When we used to pray behind the Prophet ﷺ , we would say as a sign with his index finger: "Peace be upon you, peace be upon you." The Prophet ﷺ then said to us, "Why do some people throw their hands during prayer as if they were the tails of wild horses at sunset? Is it not enough for one of you to place his hand on his thigh and then say the salaam by turning his hand to the right and left?"

كُنَّا إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قُلْنَا يَعْنِي الْإِشَارَةَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ السَّبَابَةِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَ لَنَا يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَرْمُونَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ الْخَيْلِ الشُّمْسِ أَمَا يَكْفِي أَحَدَهُمْ أَوْ أَحَدَكُمْ أَنْ يَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ

[Machine] Regarding the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Allah is greater every time Allah is greater every time he lowers (his hands), then he says, "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah" to his right "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah" to his left. Its chain of narration was established by Hajjaj ibn Muhammad and a group, and parts of it were omitted by Ibn Jurayj. Abdul-Aziz ibn Muhammad Ad-Darawardi differed in it from Amr ibn Yahya. And whoever establishes it has an argument and is not harmed by the differing of those who opposed him. Allah knows best.

عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ كُلَّمَا وَضَعَ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ كُلَّمَا رَفَعَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَقَامَ إِسْنَادَهُ حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَجَمَاعَةٌ وَقَصَرَ بِهِ بَعْضُهُمْ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ وَاخْتَلَفَ فِيهِ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ عَلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى وَمَنْ أَقَامَهُ حُجَّةٌ فَلَا يَضُرُّهُ خِلَافُ مَنْ خَالَفَهُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ

[Machine] He prayed with the Messenger of Allah and mentioned the hadith and he indicated about his right and his left, and likewise.

أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَفِيهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَكَذَلِكَ

[Machine] From Abu Razin, and he added in it, "Peace be upon you, peace be upon you."

عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ وَزَادَ فِيهِ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to offer a single salutation (greeting) during prayer, tilting his face slightly towards the right side. This was something that only Zuhair bin Muhammad did. It has also been narrated from another source that Aisha said he would pause after the face.

النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ تَسْلِيمَةً وَاحِدَةً تِلْقَاءَ وَجْهِهِ يَمِيلُ إِلَى الشِّقِّ الْأَيْمَنِ شَيْئًا أَوْ قَلِيلًا تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَرُوِي مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ مَوْقُوفًا

[Machine] She used to deliver one greeting in her prayer before turning her face to say "peace be upon you". Abu Abdullah followed her, as did Wahib and Yahya ibn Sa'id, narrated from Ubaydullah, from Al-Qasim, and Ad-Darawardi narrated from Ubaydullah, from Abdul Rahman ibn Al-Qasim, from his father who said: The Prophet ﷺ said: "The Sheikh and the Odd number are better preserved than the Even number." It was also narrated from Anas ibn Malik, Samurah ibn Jundab, and Salamah ibn Al-Akwa' from the Prophet ﷺ .

كَانَتْ تُسَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ تَسْلِيمَةً وَاحِدَةً قِبَلَ وَجْهِهَا السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ تَابَعَهُ وُهَيْبٌ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ وَقَالَ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَالْعَدَدُ أَوْلَى بِالْحِفْظِ مِنَ الْوَاحِدِ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَسَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ

‘Abdul-Muhaimin bin ‘Abbas bin Sahl bin Sa’d As-Sa’idi narrated from his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said one Taslim to the front. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 918)

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ تَسْلِيمَةً وَاحِدَةً

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to complete the greeting (taslim) in prayer by facing his face towards the front. And when he completed the greeting from his right side, he would complete the greeting from his left side.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُسَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ تَسْلِيمَةً قُبَالَةَ وَجْهِهِ فَإِذَا سَلَّمَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ سَلَّمَ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution, then he wiped his head once and prayed, then he greeted once. It has been narrated from a group of Companions that they also greeted with one greeting, and this is from the permissible difference and to confine oneself to what is permissible. And with Allah is success.

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ تَوَضَّأَ فَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ مَرَّةً وَصَلَّى فَسَلَّمَ مَرَّةً وَرُوِيَ عَنْ جِمَاعَةٍ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ ؓ أَنَّهُمْ سَلَّمُوا تَسْلِيمَةً وَاحِدَةً وَهُوَ مِنَ الِاخْتِلَافِ الْمُبَاحِ وَالِاقْتِصَارِ عَلَى الْجَائِزِ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Omitting the greeting of peace is a Sunnah, like this."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَذْفُ السَّلَامِ سُنَّةٌ هَكَذَا

[Machine] Indeed, it does not extend peace and removes it.

إِنَّهُ لَا يَمُدُّ السَّلَامَ وَيَحْذِفُهُ

"I heard Jabir bin Samurah say: 'When we prayed behind the Prophet ﷺ we used to say: As-salamu 'alaykum, as-salamu 'alaykum (peace be upon you, peace be upon you)" - and Mis'ar (one of the narrators) pointed with his hand to the right and the left. He ﷺ said: 'What is the matter with these people who wave their hands as if they are the tails of wild horses? It is sufficient for one to place his hands on his thighs and to say the salam to his brother to his right and left." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1318)

كُنَّا إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قُلْنَا بِأَيْدِينَا السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا بَالُ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ الْخَيْلِ الشُّمْسِ أَمَا يَكْفِي أَحَدَكُمْ أَنْ يَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمَ عَلَى أَخِيهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَشِمَالِهِ

The Prophet ﷺ commanded us to respond to the salutation of the imam. and to love each other, and to salute each other. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1001)

أَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ نَرُدَّ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ وَأَنْ نَتَحَابَّ وَأَنْ يُسَلِّمَ بَعْضُنَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to greet our Imam with Salam, and to greet one another with Salam.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 922)

أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نُسَلِّمَ عَلَى أَئِمَّتِنَا وَأَنْ يُسَلِّمَ بَعْضُنَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ

[Machine] After the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us that when in the middle of the prayer or at the end of it, we should start before the tasleem by saying the greetings, praises, prayers, and dominion belong to Allah, then send peace on the right side, then send peace on your reciter and on yourselves. This is an indication that responding to the imam means that he intends to respond in his tasleem from the prayer, not that he starts it individually. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that he used to say, "Peace be upon you" on his right side, then he would respond to the imam. If someone greets him on his left side, he responds to him. And it was narrated from Az-Zuhri that he said, "Responding to the imam's peace is a Sunnah." And Yahya bin Sa'id al-Ansari used to say, "When you send peace on your right side, you are exempt from responding to him."

بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ أَمَّا بَعْدَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ فِي وَسَطِ الصَّلَاةِ أَوْ حِينَ انْقِضَائِهَا فَابْدَءُوا قَبْلَ التَّسْلِيمِ فَقُولُوا التَّحِيَّاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ ثُمَّ سَلِّمُوا عَلَى الْيَمِينِ ثُمَّ سَلِّمُوا عَلَى قَارِئِكُمْ وَعَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَفِي هَذِهِ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّ الْمُرَادَ بِالرَّدِّ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ أَنْ يَنْوِيَ فِي تَسْلِيمِهِ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ الرَّدَّ عَلَيْهِ لَا أَنَّهُ يُفْرِدُهُ وَرُوِّينَا عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ يَرُدُّ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ فَإِنْ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ وَرُوِّينَا عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ الرَّدُّ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ سَلَامُهُ سُنَّةٌ وَكَانَ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ يَقُولُ إِذَا سَلَّمْتَ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ أَجْزَأَكَ مِنَ الرَّدِّ عَلَيْهِ

We said our prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and, while pronouncing salutations, we made gestures with our hands (indicating)" Peace be upon you, peace be upon you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked towards us and said: Why is it that you make gestures with your hands like the tails of headstrong horses? When any one of you pro- nounces salutation (in prayer) he should only turn his face towards his companion and should not make a gesture with his hand. (Using translation from Muslim 431b)

صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَكُنَّا إِذَا سَلَّمْنَا قُلْنَا بِأَيْدِينَا السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُكُمْ تُشِيرُونَ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ خَيْلٍ شُمْسٍ إِذَا سَلَّمَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَلْتَفِتْ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَلَا يَرْمِي بِيَدِهِ

[Machine] I heard Utban ibn Malik al-Ansari mention a hadith about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with them. He then made the taslim (saying "As-salamu alaykum") and we also said the taslim.

سَمِعْتُ عِتْبَانَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِهِمْ قَالَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَسَلَّمْنَا حِينَ سَلَّمَ

Jabir ibn Yazid ibn al-Aswad reported on the authority of his father: I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When he finished the prayer, he would turn (his face from the direction of the Ka'bah). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 614)

صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَانَ إِذَا انْصَرَفَ انْحَرَفَ

When we prayed behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ we cherished to be on his right side so that his face would turn towards us (at the end of the prayer), and he (the narrator) said: I heard him say: O my Lord! save me from Thy torment on the Day when Thoil, wouldst raise or gather Thy servants. (Using translation from Muslim 709a)

كُنَّا إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَحْبَبْنَا أَنْ نَكُونَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ لَيُقْبِلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ قَالَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ رَبِّ قِنِي عَذَابَكَ يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to have the shortest prayer among the people. He said, "I have prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and when he finished the prayer, he would stand up, and then I prayed with Abu Bakr, and when he finished the prayer, he would take a step back as if he were stepping back from a pit. Abdullah bin Farrukh al-Misri was the only one who narrated this, and Allah knows best. It is also narrated from Abu Duhah from Masruq who said, "Abu Bakr Siddiq, when he finished the prayer, he would stand up as if he were sitting on a high platform." And we have also been narrated from Ali that he would finish the prayer and then he would stand up.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَخَفَّ النَّاسِ صَلَاةً فِي تَمَامٍ قَالَ وَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَانَ سَاعَةَ يُسَلِّمُ يَقُومُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ فَكَانَ إِذَا سَلَّمَ وَثَبَ مَكَانَهُ كَأَنَّهُ يَقُومُ عَنْ رَضْفٍ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ الْمِصْرِيُّ وَلَهُ إِفْرَادٌ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ وَالْمَشْهُورُ عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ ؓ إِذَا سَلَّمَ قَامَ كَأَنَّهُ جَالِسٌ عَلَى الرَّضْفِ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ عَلِيٍّ أَنَّهُ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَامَ

[Machine] Narrated by Umar ibn Al-Khattab, and Allah knows best.

عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ وَاللهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ

[Machine] Narrated Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ : "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to stand up when he finished his prayer, and the women would remain standing until he completed his greetings. The Prophet ﷺ would then stay in his place for a while, walking a short distance. Ibn Shihab said: 'We see that he does this so that the women may leave before he is reached by those who have finished their prayer and departed from the congregation.'"

عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَلَّمَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ قَامَ النِّسَاءُ حِينَ يَقْضِي تَسْلِيمَهُ وَمَكَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي مَكَانِهِ يَسِيرًا قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فَنَرَى مُكْثَهُ ذَلِكَ وَاللهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ لِكَيْ يَنْفُذَ النِّسَاءُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُدْرِكَهُنَّ مَنِ انْصَرَفَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ

Umm Salamah said; When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave the salutation, he stayed for a while. By this people thought that women should return earlier than men. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1040)

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا سَلَّمَ مَكَثَ قَلِيلًا كَانُوا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَيْمَا تَنْفُذَ النِّسَاءُ قَبْلَ الرِّجَالِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not sit after prayer except for the amount of time it takes to say "O Allah, you are the peace, and peace comes from you. Blessed are you, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor."

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَجْلِسُ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا بِقَدْرِ مَا يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلَامُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلَامُ تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ

[Machine] Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, narrated: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he would seek forgiveness three times, then he would say: "O Allah, You are peace and from You is peace. Blessed are You, O Possessor of majesty and honor." Then Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz narrated to us, who informed us that Abu Bakr ibn Abdullah informed him that Al-Hasan ibn Sufyan informed him that Dawud ibn Rushayd informed him that Al-Walid ibn Muslim informed him that Al-Awza'i heard from Abu Ammar, who heard from Abu Asma'ah, who heard from Thawban, and he mentioned the Hadith in a similar manner except that it contains the addition: "And to You is peace. Blessed are You, O Possessor of majesty and honor." Al-Walid said: I said to Al-Awza'i, "And how is seeking forgiveness done?" He said: One says: "I seek forgiveness from Allah, I seek forgiveness from Allah."

حَدَّثَنِي ثَوْبَانُ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ اسْتَغْفَرَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلَامُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلَامُ تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ 3007 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ ثنا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ثنا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ زَادَ وَإِلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ قَالَ الْوَلِيدُ قُلْتُ لِلْأَوْزَاعِيِّ وَكَيْفَ الِاسْتِغْفَارُ؟ قَالَ يَقُولُ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ

[Machine] In His saying, "Do not raise your voice in prayer nor be silent in it," [Surah Al-Isra 110], it means supplication.

ؓ فِي قَوْلِهِ {لَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا} [الإسراء 110] قَالَتْ هُوَ الدُّعَاءُ

[Machine] This verse (and do not make your prayer loud nor completely silent) [Surah Al-Isra 110] was revealed regarding supplication.

نَزَلَتْ يَعْنِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا} [الإسراء 110] فِي الدُّعَاءِ

[Machine] In His saying, "And do not make your prayer too loud or too low." [Surah Al-Isra 110], it is mentioned that a man used to raise his voice during prayer, as mentioned in this narration, and it is not a strong narration.

فِي قَوْلِهِ {وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا} [الإسراء 110] قَالَ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا دَعَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ رَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ كَذَا فِي هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةِ وَلَيْسَتْ بِقَوِيَّةٍ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to secretly recite the Quran in Mecca. Whenever he raised his voice, the pagans would curse the Quran and those who revealed it and brought it. Allah, the Almighty, said, "And do not raise your voice in prayer." [Surah Al-Isra, 17:110] until the pagans hear it. "Nor be silent in it." [Surah Al-Isra, 17:110] from fear of your companions, so as not to let them hear it. "And seek a way between them." [Surah Al-Isra, 17:110] Hear them without raising your voice until they turn away from you and the Quran.

نَزَلَتْ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُتَوَارٍ بِمَكَّةَ وَكَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ سَمِعَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ ذَلِكَ فَيَسُبُّوا الْقُرْآنَ وَمَنْ أَنْزَلَهُ وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِ قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ} [الإسراء 110] حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ {وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا} [الإسراء 110] عَنْ أَصْحَابِكَ فَلَا تُسْمِعُهُمْ {وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلًا} [الإسراء 110] أَسْمِعْهُمْ وَلَا تَجْهَرْ حَتَّى يَأْخُذُوا عَنْكَ الْقُرْآنَ

When Messenger of Allah ﷺ fought the battle of Khaibar, or when Messenger of Allah ﷺ went towards it, (whenever) the people, (passed over a high place overlooking a valley, they raised their voices saying, "Allahu-Akbar! Allahu-Akbar! None has the right to be worshipped except Allah." On that Allah's Apostle said (to them), "Lower your voices, for you are not calling a deaf or an absent one, but you are calling a Hearer Who is near and is with you." I was behind the riding animal of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he heard me saying. "There Is neither might, nor power but with Allah," On that he said to me, "O ʿAbdullah bin Qais!" I said, "Labbaik. O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" He said, "Shall I tell you a sentence which is one of the treasures of Paradise" I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Let my father and mother be sacrificed for your sake." He said, "It is: There is neither might nor power but with Allah." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4205)

لَمَّا غَزَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حُنَيْنًا أَوْ قَالَ لَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى حُنَيْنٍ أَشْرَفَ النَّاسُ عَلَى وَادٍ فَرَفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ارْبَعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْعُونَ أَصَمًّا وَلَا غَائِبًا إِنَّمَا تَدْعُونَ سَمِيعًا قَرِيبًا وَهُوَ مَعَكُمْ قَالَ وَأَنَا خَلْفُ رَايَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَمِعَنِي وَأَنَا أَقُولُ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ فَقُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كَنْزِ الْجَنَّةِ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ

[Machine] I knew that the Prophet's prayer ended with the takbeer. 'Amr ibn Dinar said, "Then I mentioned it to Abu Ma'bad and he said, 'I did not inform you about it.' 'Amr said, 'But he had informed me about it, and he was one of the most truthful followers of Ibn 'Abbas.'" Ash-Shafi'i said, "It seems that he had forgotten it after he had informed him about it."

كُنْتُ أَعْرِفُ انْقِضَاءَ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُهُ لِأَبِي مَعْبَدٍ بَعْدُ فَقَالَ لَمْ أُحَدِّثْكُمْ بِهِ قَالَ عَمْرٌو وَقَدْ حَدَّثَنِيهِ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْدَقِ مَوَالِي ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ كَأَنَّهُ نَسِيَهُ بَعْدَمَا حَدَّثَهُ إِيَّاهُ
