[Machine] I prayed behind the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr and Umar and they did not raise their hands except at the beginning of the prayer. Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us, stating that Muhammad bin Salih bin Hani narrated to us, stating that Ibrahim bin Muhammad bin Makhlad Ad-Darir narrated to us, stating that Ishaq bin Abi Isra'il narrated to us, stating that Muhammad bin Jabir mentioned it. Abu Bakr bin Al-Harith Al-Faqih said that Ali bin Umar Al-Hafiz excelled in narrating it, and he was weak, from Hammad, from Ibrahim, and other than Hammad narrated it from Ibrahim, but it is a mursal (i.e., a narration in which the tabi'i narrator directly attributes the statement to the Prophet without mentioning the companion who narrated it). It is not elevated to the Prophet ﷺ , and this is correct. The scholar said, and it is also.  

صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ فَلَمْ يَرْفَعُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ إِلَّا عِنْدَ افْتِتَاحِ الصَّلَاةِ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِي ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَخْلَدٍ الضَّرِيرُ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَابِرٍ فَذَكَرَهُ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَابِرٍ وَكَانَ ضَعِيفًا عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَغَيْرُ حَمَّادٍ يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُرْسَلًا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ مِنْ فِعْلِهِ غَيْرَ مَرْفُوعٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ الصَّوَابُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] He used to raise his hands in the first Takbeer of prayer, then he would not raise them in anything from it. Muhammad ibn Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us, Abu al-Hasan al-Anbari narrated to us, Uthman ibn Sa'id al-Darimi narrated to us, Ahmad ibn Yunus narrated to us, Abu Bakr al-Nahshalii mentioned it. Uthman al-Darimi said, "This has been narrated through this weak chain from Ali, and it has also been narrated by Abdur Rahman ibn Hurmuz al-A'raj from Ubaydullah ibn Abi Rafi from Ali, that he saw the Prophet ﷺ raising them both during the prostration and after raising his head from the prostration. It is not Ali's opinion that he chose to act differently from what the Prophet ﷺ did, but Abu Bakr al-Nahshalii is not someone whose narration can be relied upon or whose narration establishes a sunnah that others did not bring." Al-Za'farani said, "Al-Shafi'i said in the old book, and it is not established from Ali or Ibn Mas'ud, meaning what they have narrated from them that they did not raise their hands in anything from the prayer except in the opening Takbeer." Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "And indeed, it is only established."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فِي التَّكْبِيرَةِ الْأُولَى مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ لَا يَرْفَعُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْهَا 2535 أَخْبَرَنَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّهْشَلِيُّ فَذَكَرَهُ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ الدَّارِمِيُّ فَهَذَا قَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ هَذَا الطَّرِيقِ الْوَاهِي عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَقَدْ رَوَى عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ هُرْمُزَ الْأَعْرَجُ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَرْفَعُهُمَا عِنْدَ الرُّكُوعِ وَبَعْدَمَا يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ فَلَيْسَ الظَّنُّ بِعَلِيٍّ ؓ أَنَّهُ يَخْتَارُ فِعْلَهُ عَلَى فِعْلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّهْشَلِيُّ مِمَّنْ يُحْتَجُّ بِرِوَايَتِهِ أَوْ تَثْبُتُ بِهِ سُنَّةً لَمْ يَأْتِ بِهَا غَيْرُهُ قَالَ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ فِي الْقَدِيمِ وَلَا يَثْبُتُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ يَعْنِي مَا رَوَوْهُ عَنْهُمَا مِنْ أَنَّهُمَا كَانَا لَا يَرْفَعَانِ أَيْدِيَهُمَا فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا فِي تَكْبِيرَةِ الِافْتِتَاحِ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَإِنَّمَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands when he started the prayer. And when he bowed, Ibrahim said, "I do not see my father except on that one day. He memorized that, and Abdullah did not memorize it from him." Then Ibrahim said, "The raising of the hands at the beginning of the prayer is the wording of the hadith of Jarir. Abu Bakr ibn Ishaq al-Faqih said, "This is a reason that does not match its hearing. Because raising the hands has been confirmed from the Prophet ﷺ , then from the rightly guided caliphs, then from the Companions and the followers. And in the forgetfulness of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, there is no evidence that these companions did not see the Prophet ﷺ raising his hands, as Ibn Mas'ud forgot from the Quran what the Muslims did not disagree about, which are the Mu'awwidhatan. And he forgot what all the scholars agreed to abrogate and abandon in practice. And he forgot the manner of two people standing behind the imam. He also forgot how the Prophet ﷺ prayed the Fajr prayer on the day of sacrifice at its proper time. He forgot how the Prophet ﷺ gathered on the day of Arafah. He forgot what there is no disagreement among the scholars about in terms of placing the elbow and the forearm on the ground in prostration. And he forgot how the Prophet ﷺ recited the verse {And has not created the two sexes} [Al-Lail: 3]. And if it is permissible for Abdullah to forget such things in prayer, then how is it not permissible for him to forget raising the hands?  

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حِينَ يَفْتَتِحُ الصَّلَاةَ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَا أَرَى أَبَاهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَّا ذَاكَ الْيَوْمَ الْوَاحِدَ فَحَفِظَ ذَلِكَ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ لَمْ يَحْفَظْ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِنَّمَا رَفْعُ الْيَدَيْنِ عِنْدَ افْتِتَاحِ الصَّلَاةِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ هَذِهِ عِلَّةٌ لَا تَسْوِي سَمَاعَهَا؛ لِأَنَّ رَفْعَ الْيَدَيْنِ قَدْ صَحَّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُمَّ عَنِ الْخُلَفَاءِ الرَّاشِدِينَ ثُمَّ عَنِ الصَّحَابَةِ وَالتَّابِعِينَ وَلَيْسَ فِي نِسْيَانِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَفْعَ الْيَدَيْنِ مَا يُوجِبُ أَنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ الصَّحَابَةَ ؓ لَمْ يَرَوَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ قَدْ نَسِيَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا لَمْ يَخْتَلِفِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فِيهِ بَعْدُ وَهِيَ الْمُعَوِّذَتَانِ وَنَسِيَ مَا اتَّفَقَ الْعُلَمَاءُ كُلُّهُمْ عَلَى نَسْخِهِ وَتَرْكِهِ مِنَ التَّطْبِيقِ وَنَسِيَ كَيْفِيَّةَ قِيَامِ اثْنَيْنِ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ وَنَسِيَ مَا لَمْ يَخْتَلِفِ الْعُلَمَاءُ فِيهِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ فِي وَقْتِهَا وَنَسِيَ كَيْفِيَّةَ جَمْعِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِعَرَفَةَ وَنَسِيَ مَا لَمْ يَخْتَلِفِ الْعُلَمَاءُ فِيهِ مِنْ وَضْعِ الْمِرْفَقِ وَالسَّاعِدِ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فِي السُّجُودِ وَنَسِيَ كَيْفَ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ {وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَى} [الليل 3] وَإِذَا جَازَ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنْ يَنْسَى مِثْلَ هَذَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ خَاصَّةً كَيْفَ لَا يَجُوزُ مِثْلُهُ فِي رَفْعِ الْيَدَيْنِ؟  

[Machine] like the meaning of raising them at the beginning as a glorification of Allah, and it is a followed Sunnah in which the reward of Allah is hoped for, and like raising the hands at Safa and Marwa and others.  

مِثْلُ مَعْنَى رَفَعِهَمَا عِنْدَ الِافْتِتَاحِ تَعْظِيمًا لِلَّهِ وَسُنَّةٌ مُتَّبَعَةٌ يُرْجَى فِيهَا ثَوَابُ اللهِ ﷻ وَمِثْلُ رَفْعِ الْيَدَيْنِ عَلَى الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَغَيْرِهِمَا  

[Machine] I prayed in the mosque of Kufa and found Abu Hanifa praying, with Ibn al-Mubarak praying beside him. Abdullah raised his hands every time he bowed and every time he raised his head, while Abu Hanifa did not raise his hands. After they finished praying, Abu Hanifa said to Abdullah, "O Abu Abdur Rahman, I saw you raising your hands too often, did you intend to fly?" Abdullah replied, "O Abu Hanifa, I saw you raising your hands when you started the prayer, did you intend to fly?" Abu Hanifa remained silent. Waki' said, "I have never seen a more eloquent response than Abdullah's to Abu Hanifa."  

صَلَّيْتُ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْكُوفَةِ فَإِذَا أَبُو حَنِيفَةَ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي وَابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ يُصَلِّي فَإِذَا عَبْدُ اللهِ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ كُلَّمَا رَكَعَ وَكُلَّمَا رَفَعَ وَأَبُو حَنِيفَةَ لَا يَرْفَعُ فَلَمَّا فَرَغُوا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ أَبُو حَنِيفَةَ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ يَا أَبَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ رَأَيْتُكَ تُكْثِرُ رَفْعَ الْيَدَيْنِ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَطِيرَ؟ قَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَا أَبَا حَنِيفَةَ قَدْ رَأَيْتُكَ تَرْفَعُ يَدَيْكَ حِينَ افْتَتَحْتَ الصَّلَاةَ فَأَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَطِيرَ؟ فَسَكَتَ أَبُو حَنِيفَةَ قَالَ وَكِيعٌ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ جَوَابًا أَحْضَرَ مِنْ جَوَابِ عَبْدِ اللهِ لِأَبِي حَنِيفَةَ  

[Machine] Al-Awza'i said to al-Thawri, "Why don't you raise your hands during the bowing and raising of it?" Al-Thawri then narrated from Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad who narrated from al-Zuhri who narrated from Salim who narrated from his father who narrated from the Prophet ﷺ . Al-Awza'i then said, "I have narrated to you from al-Zuhri who narrated from Salim, and you oppose me with Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad, and Yazid is a weak narrator and his narration contradicts the Sunnah." Al-Thawri then frowned at Sufyan al-Thawri, and al-Awza'i said, "It seems like you disapprove of what I said." Al-Thawri replied, "Yes." Al-Awza'i then said, "Come with me to the pulpit so that we may curse and see who among us is upon the truth." Al-Thawri smiled upon seeing that al-Awza'i had become enraged. Abu Abdullah then informed us, and Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ja'far al-Barza'i narrated to us from Bukhara that Abu Mansur Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Hamdawayh al-Ishtikhani narrated to us from Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Sa'id al-Tabari and he mentioned the hadith in the meaning of al-Marwazi's narration.  

الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ لِلثَّوْرِيِّ لِمَ لَا تَرْفَعُ يَدَيْكَ فِي خَفْضِ الرُّكُوعِ وَرَفْعِهِ؟ فَقَالَ الثَّوْرِيُّ ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ فَقَالَ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ أَرْوِي لَكَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَتُعَارِضُنِي بِيَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ وَيَزِيدُ رَجُلٌ ضَعِيفُ الْحَدِيثِ وَحَدِيثُهُ مُخَالِفٌ لِلسُّنَّةِ قَالَ فَاحْمَارَّ وَجْهُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ فَقَالَ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ كَأَنَّكَ كَرِهْتَ مَا قُلْتُ قَالَ الثَّوْرِيُّ نَعَمْ قَالَ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ قُمْ بِنَا إِلَى الْمَقَامِ نَلْتَعِنُ أَيُّنَا عَلَى الْحَقِّ قَالَ فَتَبَسَّمَ الثَّوْرِيُّ لَمَّا رَأَى الْأَوْزَاعِيَّ قَدِ احْتَدَّ 2540 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْبَرْذَعِيُّ بِبُخَارَا أنبأ أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ حَمْدَوَيْهِ الْأَشْتِيخَنِيُّ ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الطَّبَرِيُّ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمَعْنَى رِوَايَةِ الْمَرْوَزِيِّ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to raise his hands opposite his shoulders when he began prayer, then he uttered takbir (Allah is most great) in the same condition, and then he bowed. And when he raised his back (head) after bowing he raised them opposite his shoulders, and said: “Allah listens to him who praises Him.” But he did not raise his hand when he prostrated himself; he rather raised them when he uttered the takbir (Allah is most great) before bowing until his prayer is finished. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 722)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى تَكُونَا حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ وَهُمَا كَذَلِكَ فَيَرْكَعُ ثُمَّ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ صُلْبَهُ رَفَعَهُمَا حَتَّى تَكُونَا حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ وَلَا يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فِي السُّجُودِ وَيَرْفَعُهُمَا فِي كُلِّ تَكْبِيرَةٍ يُكَبِّرُهَا قَبْلَ الرُّكُوعِ حَتَّى تَنْقَضِيَ صَلَاتُهُ الزُّبَيْدِيُّ هَذَا اسْمُهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ  

We came to the house of 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud. He said: Have these people said prayer behind you? We said: No. He said: Then stand up and say prayer. He neither ordered us to say Adhan nor Iqama. We went to stand behind him. He caught hold of our hands and mode one of us stand on his right hand and the other on his left side. When we bowed, we placed our hands on our knees. He struck our hands and put his hands together, palm to palm, then put them between his thighs. When he completed the prayer he said. There would soon come your Amirs, who would defer prayers from their appointed time and would make such delay that a little time is left before sunset. So when you see them doing so, say prayer at its appointed time and then say prayer along with them as (Nafl), and when you are three, pray together (standing in one row), and when you are more than three, appoint one amongst you as your Imam. And when any one of you bows he must place his hands upon hie thighs and kneel down. and putting his palms together place (them within his thighs). I perceive as if I am seeing the gap between the fingers of the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him). (Using translation from Muslim 534a)   

قُومُوا فَصَلُّوا فَلَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا بِأَذَانٍ وَلَا إِقَامَةٍ فَذَهَبْنَا لِنَقُومَ خَلْفَهُ فَأَخَذَ بِأَيْدِينَا فَجَعَلَ أَحَدَنَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَالْآخَرَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ فَلَمَّا رَكَعْنَا وَضَعْنَا أَيْدِيَنَا عَلَى رُكَبِنَا فَضَرَبَ أَيْدِيَنَا وَطَبَّقَ كَفَّيْهِ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَهُمَا بَيْنَ فَخِذَيْهِ فَلَمَّا صَلَّيْنَا قَالَ إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَنْ مَوَاقِيتِهَا وَيَخْنُقُونَهَا إِلَى شَرِقِ الْمَوْتَى يَعْنِي آخِرَ الْوَقْتِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمْ قَدْ فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا وَاجْعَلُوا صَلَاتَكُمْ مَعَهُمْ سُبْحَةً وَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ ثَلَاثَةً فَصَلُّوا جَمِيعًا وَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَقْدُمْكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ فَإِذَا رَكَعَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُفْرِشْ ذِرَاعَيْهِ عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ ثُمَّ طَبَّقَ بَيْنَ كَفَّيْهِ وَأَرَانَا قَالَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى اخْتِلَافِ أَصَابِعِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ هَذَا قَدْ تُرِكَ  

[Machine] "From Abu al-Walid"  

عَنْ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ  

[Machine] I prayed next to Saad, and I cupped my hands and placed them between my thighs. Then I struck my hands, and he said. Then I prayed again next to him, and I cupped my hands and placed them between my thighs. He struck my hands and said, "O my son, we used to do this, and we were commanded to strike with the palms on the knees."  

صَلَّيْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِ سَعْدٍ فَطَبَّقْتُ بِيَدِيَّ فَجَعَلْتُهُمَا بَيْنَ رُكْبَتِيَّ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِيَّ قَالَ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَطَبَّقْتُ بِيَدِيَّ فَجَعَلْتُهُمَا بَيْنَ رُكْبَتِيَّ قَالَ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِيَّ وَقَالَ يَا بُنِيَّ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَفْعَلُ هَذَا فَأُمِرْنَا أَنْ نَضْرِبَ بِالْأَكُفِّ عَلَى الرُّكَبِ  

[Machine] I used to pray by the side of my father, and when I went into the bowing position, I said "like this" and he placed his hands between his knees. Then, after finishing the prayer, he said, "We used to do this, but then we were ordered to raise our hands up to the shoulders."  

كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي إِلَى جَنْبِ أَبِي فَلَمَّا رَكَعْتُ قُلْتُ كَذَا وَطَبَّقَ يَدَيْهِ بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ كُنَّا نَفْعَلُ هَذَا ثُمَّ أُمِرْنَا أَنْ نَرْفَعَ إِلَى الرُّكَبِ  

"It is established for you to hold the knees, so hold the knees." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1034)   

يَا أيُّهَا النَّاسُ سُنَّتْ لَكُمُ الرُّكَبُ فَأَمْسِكُوا بِالرُّكَبِ  

" 'Umar said: 'The Sunnah is to hold the knees.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1035)   

عُمَرُ ؓ إِنَّ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ الْأَخْذَ بِالرُّكَبِ  

[Machine] I arrived in the city and began to perform prayer as the companions of Abdullah would do. I also performed the sujud. A man asked me, "O Abdullah, what makes you do this?" I said, "Abdullah used to do it and he mentioned that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do it." The man said, "Abdullah spoke the truth, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ may have done a certain action and then Allah revealed a different command to him. So observe what the Muslims are united upon and follow it." When I arrived, I stopped performing it. The scholar said, "This is what has been mentioned in the hadith of Abu Humaid Al-Saa'idi and others about the description of the Prophet's ﷺ ruku', and from that it is evident that the people of Medina are more knowledgeable about the abrogating and abrogated verses than the people of Kufa. And with Allah is the guidance."  

قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَجَعَلْتُ أُطْبِقُ كَمَا يُطْبِقُ أَصْحَابُ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَأَرْكَعُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ مَا يَحْمِلُكَ عَلَى هَذَا؟ قُلْتُ كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَفْعَلُهُ وَذَكَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَفْعَلُهُ قَالَ صَدَقَ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَلَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رُبَّمَا صَنَعَ الْأَمْرَ ثُمَّ أَحْدَثَ اللهُ لَهُ الْأَمْرَ الْآخَرَ فَانْظُرْ مَا اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَاصْنَعْهُ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ كَانَ لَا يُطْبِقُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَهَذَا الَّذِي صَارَ الْأَمْرُ إِلَيْهِ مَوْجُودٌ فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ وَغَيْرِهِ فِي صِفَةِ رُكُوعِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَفِي ذَلِكَ مَا دَلَّ عَلَى أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَعْرَفُ بِالنَّاسِخِ وَالْمَنْسُوخِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ  

[Machine] He was sitting with a group of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He said, "We mentioned the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so Abu Humaid Al-Sa'idi said, 'I used to memorize for you the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I saw that when he said the takbeer, he would place his hands parallel to his shoulders, and when he went into ruku', he would place his hands on his knees, then press his back flat, and he mentioned the hadeeth."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ جَالِسًا مَعَ نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَذَكَرْنَا صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ أَنَا كُنْتُ أَحْفَظَكُمْ لِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَأَيْتُهُ إِذَا كَبَّرَ جَعَلَ يَدَيْهِ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ أَمْكَنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ رُكْبَتَيْهِ ثُمَّ هَصَرَ ظَهْرَهَ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ  

[Machine] I was in a gathering of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and they were discussing his prayer. Abu Humaid then mentioned this hadith and said, "When he performed the Ruku', he would place his hands on his knees and spread his fingers, then he would straighten his back without raising or lowering his head, nor pressing his cheek against his shoulder." Abu Ali al-Rawdhbari informed us, who was informed by Abu Bakr ibn Dasah, who was informed by Abu Dawood, who was informed by Ahmed ibn Hanbal, who was informed by Abdul-Malik ibn Umar, who informed me Fuleih. Abbas bin Sahl told me: Abu Humaid, Abu Usaid, Sahl bin Saad and Muhammad ibn Muslim gathered together and they were discussing the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Abu Humaid said, "I will inform you about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ," and then he mentioned the hadith. He then returned and placed his hands on his knees as if he was holding them, and he straightened his back, without raising or lowering his head, and did not press his cheek against his shoulder.  

كُنْتُ فِي مَجْلِسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَتَذَاكَرُوا صَلَاتَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ فَذَكَرَ بَعْضَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَقَالَ إِذَا رَكَعَ أَمْكَنَ كَفَّيْهِ مِنْ رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَفَرَّجَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ ثُمَّ هَصَرَ ظَهْرَهُ غَيْرَ مُقْنِعٍ رَأْسَهُ وَلَا صَافِحٍ بِخَدِّهِ 2551 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ ثنا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو أَخْبَرَنِي فُلَيْحٌ حَدَّثَنِي عَبَّاسُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ قَالَ 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 فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ كَأَنَّهُ قَابِضٌ عَلَيْهِمَا وَوَتَّرَ يَدَيْهِ فَجَافَى عَنْ جَنْبَيْهِ  

[Machine] She said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to begin the prayer by saying the takbeer. He mentioned a narration in which it was stated that he, when bowing, would not lower his head nor straighten it, but between that, he mentioned the narration."  

قَالتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَفْتَتِحُ الصَّلَاةَ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَفِيهِ وَكَانَ إِذَا رَكَعَ لَمْ يُشْخِصْ رَأْسَهُ وَلَمْ يُصَوِّبْهُ وَلَكِنْ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ  

[Machine] "The key to prayer is purification, and its prohibition is the takbeer, and its declaration is the tasleem. In every two units of prayer, there is a tasleem. And there is no prayer in which the Opening Chapter of the Qur'an (Al-Fatiha) or any other obligation or non-obligation is not recited in it. And when one of you bows, do not slaughter the sacrifice of a donkey, and let him straighten his back. And when he prostrates, let him extend his back, for indeed, a person prostrates on seven prominent points on his forehead, hands, knees, and the tips of his feet. And when he sits, let him raise his right foot and lower his left foot."  

مِفْتَاحُ الصَّلَاةِ الطُّهُورُ وَتَحْرِيمُهَا التَّكْبِيرُ وَتَحْلِيلُهَا التَّسْلِيمُ وَفِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَسْلِيمَةٌ وَلَا صَلَاةَ لَا يُقْرَأُ فِيهَا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَغَيْرِهَا فَرِيضَةً أَوْ غَيْرَ فَرِيضَةٍ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يَدْبَحْ تَدْبِيحَ الْحِمَارِ وَلْيُقِمْ صُلْبَهُ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَلْيَمُدَّ صُلْبَهُ فَإِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ يَسْجُدُ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَعْظُمٍ جَبْهَتِهِ وَكَفَّيْهِ وَرُكْبَتَيْهِ وَصُدُورِ قَدَمَيْهِ وَإِذَا جَلَسَ فَلْيَنْصُبْ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى وَلْيَخْفِضْ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى  

"I prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night. He started reciting Surat Al-Baqarah and he recited one hundred verses, then did not bow, rather he continued. I thought: 'He will complete it in two rak'ahs, but he continued.' I thought: 'He will complete it and then bow,' but he continued until he recited Surat An-Nisa', then Al Imran. Then he bowed for almost as long as he had stood, saying while bowing: 'Subhan Rabbial-azim, Subhan Rabbial-azim, Subhan Rabbial-azim ( Glory be to my Lord Almighty, Glory be to my Lord Almighty, Glory be to my Lord Almighty).' Then he raised his head and said: 'Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears the one who praises Him). Then he prostrated and made his prostration lengthy, saying: "Subhan Rabbial-A'la, Subhan Rabbial-A'la, Subhan Rabbial-A'la (Glory be to my Lord Most High, Glory be to my Lord Most High, Glory be to my Lord Most High). And he did not come to any verse that spoke of fear or glorifying Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, but he said something appropriate." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1133)   

صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَاسْتَفْتَحَ بِسُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فَقُلْتُ يَقْرَأُ مِائَةَ آيَةٍ ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ فَمَضَى فَقُلْتُ يَخْتِمُهَا ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ فَمَضَى حَتَّى قَرَأَ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ نَحْوًا مِنْ قِيَامِهِ فَيَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ اللهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَأَطَالَ السُّجُودَ يَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى لَا يَمُرُّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا تَخْوِيفٌ وَتَعْظِيمٌ إِلَّا ذَكَرَهُ  

[Machine] We have a Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , who said, "Recite it in your Rukoo' (bowing position)." When the verse "Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High" [Surah Al-A'la, verse 1] was revealed, he said, "Recite it in your Sujood (prostration)." Abu Ali Al-Rouzabari reported to us, that Muhammad ibn Bakr informed us, who narrated from Abu Dawood, who narrated from Ahmed ibn Yunus, who narrated from Al-Laith, meaning Ibn Saad, who narrated from Ayyub ibn Musa or Musa ibn Ayyub, who narrated from a man from his people, from Uqbah ibn Amer, with a similar meaning. He added, saying, "The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , when he would bow, he would say, 'Glory be to my Lord, the Most Great, and with His praise,' three times. And when he would prostrate, he would say, 'Glory be to my Lord, the Most High, and with His praise,' three times." Abu Dawood said, "We fear that this addition may not be preserved."  

لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اجْعَلُوهَا فِي رُكُوعِكُمْ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى} [الأعلى 1] قَالَ لَنَا اجْعَلُوهَا فِي سُجُودِكُمْ 2556 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ثنا اللَّيْثُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ مُوسَى أَوْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ بِمَعْنَاهُ زَادَ فِيهِ قَالَ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَكَعَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ثَلَاثًا وَإِذَا سَجَدَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى وَبِحَمْدِهِ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَهَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةُ نَخَافُ أَنْ لَا تَكُونَ مَحْفُوظَةً  

Sa’d reported that he heard his father or his uncle say ; I witnessed the Prophet ﷺ while offering prayer. He used to stay in his bowing and his prostration as long as one uttera the words “Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him” three times. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 885)   

رَمَقْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَكَانَ يَتَمَكَّنُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ وَسُجُودِهِ قَدْرَ مَا يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ثَلَاثًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you bows down in prayer, he should say, 'Subhan Rabbiyal Adheem' (Glory be to my Lord, the Most Great) three times, for his bowing is complete and that is the least. And when he prostrates, he should say, 'Subhan Rabbiyal A'la' (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High) three times, for his prostration is complete and that is the least." This is narrated by 'Awn ibn Abdullah, who did not reach Abdullah ibn Mas'ud.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَكَعَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَقَدْ تَمَّ رُكُوعُهُ وَذَلِكَ أَدْنَاهُ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى يَعْنِي ثَلَاثًا فَقَدْ تَمَّ سُجُودُهُ وَذَلِكَ أَدْنَاهُ هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ عَوْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, we are always traveling, so how should we perform the prayer?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Perform three tasbihs (glorifications of Allah) during the ruku' (bowing) and three tasbihs during the sujood (prostration). And this is also prescribed."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَا نَزَالُ سَفَرًا أَبَدًا فَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ ﷺ سَبِّحُوا ثَلَاثَ تَسْبِيحَاتٍ رُكُوعًا وَثَلَاثَ تَسْبِيحَاتٍ سُجُودًا وَهَذَا أَيْضًا مُرْسَلٌ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say often in his prostration, 'Subhanaka wa bihamdik, Allahumma ighfirli' (Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You, O Allah, forgive me).' Abu Amr Al-Adib informed us that Abu Bakr Al-Isma'ili informed me, who was informed by Al-Hasan ibn Sufyan, who narrated from Ibn Khallad, who narrated from Yahya, who narrated from Mansur, who mentioned it and said, 'Glory be to You, O our Lord, and praise be to You, O Allah, forgive me.'"  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ فِي رُكُوعِهِ سُبْحَانَكَ وَبِحَمْدِكَ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي يَتَأَوَّلُ الْقُرْآنَ 2561 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ أَخْبَرَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا ابْنُ خَلَّادٍ ثنا يَحْيَى ثنا مَنْصُورٌ فَذَكَرَهُ وَقَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَبِحَمْدِكَ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي يَتَأَوَّلُ الْقُرْآنَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say in his rukoo' (bowing) and sujood (prostration): "Subhanal quddus, Rabbul malaa'ikati war-rooh."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ وَسُجُودِهِ سُبُّوحٌ قُدُّوسٌ رَبُّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالرُّوحِ  

[Machine] Narrated from the Prophet ﷺ : When he began the prayer and mentioned supplications, and He said in it, and when he bowed he said, "O Allah, I bow to You, and in You I believe, and to You I submit. My hearing, sight, and bones humble to You. I think he said, "My mind and nerves".  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ كَانَ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَقَالَ فِيهِ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ قَالَ اللهُمَّ لَكَ رَكَعْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَلَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ خَشَعَ لَكَ سَمْعِي وَبَصَرِي وَعِظَامِي أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ وَمُخِّي وَعَصَبِي  

ʿO Allah, to You I have bowed, in You I have believed and to You I have submitted. You are my Lord. My hearing my sight, my brain, my bones and my sinews submit to You. Whatever my feet carry is for Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 960)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا ابْتَدَأَ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَفِيهِ قَالَ وَكَانَ إِذَا رَكَعَ قَالَ اللهُمَّ لَكَ رَكَعْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَلَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ أَنْتَ رَبِّي خَشَعَ لَكَ سَمْعِي وَبَصَرِي وَمُخِّي وَعَظْمِي وَمَا اسْتَقَلَّتْ بِهِ قَدَمِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade me from reciting while bowing or prostrating.  

نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ رَاكِعًا أَوْ سَاجِدًا  

[Machine] He said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade wearing rough garments, wearing saffron-colored garments, wearing gold rings, and reading while in the bowing position.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ لُبْسِ الْقَسِّيِّ وَالْمُعَصْفَرِ وَعَنْ تَخَتُّمِ الذَّهَبِ وَعَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الرُّكُوعِ  

The Prophet ﷺ lifted the curtain (and saw that) the people were standing in rows(of prayers) behind Abu Bakr. He said: O people, there remained nothing that gives good tidings from prophethood except a true dream which a Muslim has himself or which another Muslim has for him. I have been prohibited to recite the Qur’an while bowing or prostration. As regards owing, exalt the Lord in it, and as to prostration, make supplication with exertion in it, that is worthy of being accepted. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 876)   

كَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ السِّتَارَةَ وَالنَّاسُ صُفُوفٌ خَلْفَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْ مُبَشِّرَاتِ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلَّا الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ يَرَاهَا الْمُسْلِمُ أَوْ تُرَى لَهُ أَلَا إِنِّي نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ رَاكِعًا أَوْ سَاجِدًا فَأَمَّا الرُّكُوعُ فَعَظِّمُوا فِيهِ الرَّبَّ وَأَمَّا السُّجُودُ فَاجْتَهِدُوا مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ فَقَمِنٌ أَنْ يُسْتَجَابُ لَكُمْ  

[Machine] We used to make the act of bowing down a form of glorification.  

كُنَّا نَجْعَلُ الرُّكُوعَ تَسْبِيحًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the mosque and mentioned the story of the man who did not pray properly until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught him. He then said what he had taught him, and then he bowed until he was at ease, kneeling with his back straight, as mentioned in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي قِصَّةِ الدَّاخِلِ الَّذِي لَمْ يُحْسِنِ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى عَلَّمَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ فِيمَا عَلَّمَهُ ثُمَّ ارْكَعْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ رَاكِعًا مُخَرَّجٌ فِي الصَّحِيحَينِ  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘No prayer is acceptable in which a man does not settle his spine when bowing and when prostrating.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 870)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُجْزِي صَلَاةٌ لَا يُقِيمُ الرَّجُلُ صُلْبَهُ فِي الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The prayer of a person who does not establish the straightness of his back during the bowing and prostration does not count." This is a sound chain of narration and it is also confirmed.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُجْزِي صَلَاةُ رَجُلٍ لَا يُقِيمُ فِيهَا صُلْبَهُ فِي الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said that a prayer is not acceptable if a person does not maintain their stiffness (straightness) in the bowing and prostration, which is what Yahya ibn Abi Bukayr excelled in."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تُجْزِي صَلَاةٌ لَا يُقِيمُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا صُلْبَهُ فِي الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed with his companions, and then sat with a group of them. A man entered and stood up to pray, but he did not perform the ruku' (bowing) or sujood (prostration) properly. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at him and said, "Do you think that if this man were to die, he would die upon a different path than that of Muhammad?" He compared the one who prays without bowing or prostrating properly to a hungry person who only eats one or two dates. What will one or two dates benefit him? So perform ablution properly and be cautious of hellfire. Complete the bowing and prostration. Abu Salih said, "I asked Abu Abdullah Ash'ari, who told you this hadith?" He replied, "The commanders of the armies: Khalid ibn al-Walid, Amr ibn al-As, Shurahbil ibn Hasana, and Yazid ibn Abi Sufyan. All of them heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."  

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِأَصْحَابِهِ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فِي طَائِفَةٍ مِنْهُمْ فَدَخَلَ رَجُلٌ فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي فَجَعَلَ لَا يَرْكَعُ وَيَنْقُرُ فِي سُجُودِهِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَتَرَوْنَ هَذَا لَوْ مَاتَ مَاتَ عَلَى غَيْرِ مِلَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ؟ يَنْقُرُ صَلَاتَهُ كَمَا يَنْقُرُ الْغُرَابُ الدَّمَ إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي وَلَا يَرْكَعُ وَيَنْقُرُ فِي سُجُودِهِ كَالْجَائِعِ لَا يَأْكُلُ إِلَّا تَمْرَةً أَوْ تَمْرَتَيْنِ فَمَاذَا تُغْنِيَانِ عَنْهُ فَأَسْبِغُوا الْوُضُوءَ وَيْلٌ لِلْأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ وَأَتِمُّوا الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ قَالَ أَبُو صَالِحٍ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ أُمَرَاءُ الْأَجْنَادِ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ وَشُرَحْبِيلُ بْنُ حَسَنَةَ وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ كُلُّ هَؤُلَاءِ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When you come and find us in prostration, then prostrate and do not count anything as a prayer. And whoever catches a unit of prayer has caught the entire prayer." This was narrated specifically by Yahya ibn Abi Sulayman al-Madini, and a similar narration with a weaker chain of narrators has been transmitted from Abu Huraira.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا جِئْتُمْ وَنَحْنُ سُجُودٌ فَاسْجُدُوا وَلَا تَعُدُّوا شَيْئًا وَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ الرَّكْعَةَ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ الْمَدِينِيُّ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ بِإِسْنَادٍ آخَرَ أَضْعَفَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever catches a raka'ah (unit of prayer) before the imam stands up straight, then he has caught it." Abu Ahmad said: "This additional statement "before the imam stands up straight" is said by Yahya bin Humaid from Qura and he is Egyptian. Abu Ahmad said: "I heard Ibn Hammad say that Al-Bukhari said: Yahya bin Humaid from Qura from Ibn Shihab heard it from Ibn Wahb who is Egyptian, and his hadith is not continuously transmitted." Abu Ahmad said: "And Jundaidi narrated from Al-Bukhari, he said: Yahya bin Abi Sulayman Al-Madani from Al-Maqburi and Ibn Abi Atab, a discredited narrator of hadith." The sheikh said: "And it has been narrated with a Mursal isnad (broken chain of narrators)."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقِيمَ الْإِمَامُ صُلْبَهُ قَالَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ هَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقِيمَ الْإِمَامُ صُلْبَهُ يَقُولُهَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ قُرَّةَ وَهُوَ مِصْرِيٌّ قَالَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ حَمَّادٍ يَقُولُ قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ يَحْيَى بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ قُرَّةَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ سَمِعَ مِنْهُ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ مِصْرِيٌّ لَا يُتَابَعُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ وَثنا الْجُنَيْدِيُّ ثنا الْبُخَارِيُّ قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ الْمَدَنِيُّ عَنِ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ وَابْنِ أَبِي عَتَّابٍ مُنْكَرُ الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ بِإِسْنَادٍ مُرْسَلٍ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , he said: "When you come [to join the congregational prayer] and the imam is in the state of ruku' (bowing), then you should also bow. And if the imam is in the state of sujood (prostration), then you should also prostrate. And do not precede the imam in performing sujood if he has not yet performed ruku'."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا جِئْتُمْ وَالْإِمَامُ رَاكِعٌ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِنْ كَانَ سَاجِدًا فَاسْجُدُوا وَلَا تَعْتَدُّوا بِالسُّجُودِ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُ الرُّكُوعُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever does not catch a rakah (unit of prayer) has not caught the entire prayer." It was also narrated about him by the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ لَمْ يُدْرِكِ الرَّكْعَةَ لَمْ يُدْرِكِ الصَّلَاةَ وَرُوِيَ فِيهِ عَنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] Whoever does not catch up with the imam while he is bowing, did not catch that unit (of prayer).  

مَنْ لَمْ يُدْرِكِ الْإِمَامَ رَاكِعًا لَمْ يُدْرِكْ تِلْكَ الرَّكْعَةَ  

[Machine] Whoever does not catch up with the prayer unit, should not count it by prostration.  

مَنْ لَمْ يُدْرِكِ الرَّكْعَةَ فَلَا يَعْتَدَّ بِالسُّجُودِ  

[Machine] That the imam raises his head indicates that he has completed that unit of prayer.  

أَنْ يَرْفَعَ الْإِمَامُ رَأْسَهُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ تِلْكَ الرَّكْعَةَ  

[Machine] Abdullah ibn Umar used to say, "If you miss the Rak'ah, then you have missed the prostration."  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا فَاتَتْكَ الرَّكْعَةُ فَقَدْ فَاتَتْكَ السَّجْدَةُ  

[Machine] That the imam raises his head means he has completed the prostration.  

أَنْ يَرْفَعَ الْإِمَامُ رَأْسَهُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ السَّجْدَةَ  

[Machine] "Abu Huraira used to say: 'Whoever catches the rakah (unit of prayer) has caught the prostration (sujood), and whoever misses the recitation of the mother of the Quran (Surah Al-Fatiha), has missed a great deal of good.'"  

أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ الرَّكْعَةَ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ السَّجْدَةَ وَمَنْ فَاتَتْهُ قِرَاءَةُ أُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ فَقَدْ فَاتَهُ خَيْرٌ كَثِيرٌ  

[Machine] He entered the mosque and the Prophet ﷺ was in a state of bowing, so he performed a bow before reaching the row. The Prophet ﷺ said, "May Allah increase your desire and do not repeat it."  

أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَاكِعٌ فَرَكَعَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصِلْ إِلَى الصَّفِّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ زَادَكَ اللهُ حِرْصًا وَلَا تَعُدْ  

[Machine] Abu Bakr al-Siddiq and Zaid bin Thabit entered the mosque, and the imam was in the state of bowing. They joined him in the bowing position, then made a third bow while still in the bowing position until they caught up with the row.  

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ وَزَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ دَخَلَا الْمَسْجِدَ وَالْإِمَامُ رَاكِعٌ فَرَكَعَا ثُمَّ دَبَّا وَهُمَا رَاكِعَانِ حَتَّى لَحِقَا بِالصَّفِّ  

[Machine] To join the row while in the state of bowing, he said the takbir, then performed a bow and remained in the position of bowing until he reached the row.  

أَنْ يَصِلَ الصَّفَّ وَهُوَ رَاكِعٌ كَبَّرَ فَرَكَعَ ثُمَّ دَبَّ وَهُوَ رَاكِعٌ حَتَّى وَصَلَ الصَّفَّ
