[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."

[Machine] He said to his companions one day, "Shall I not show you how the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to be?" He said, "This was during a prayer other than the obligatory prayer. He stood and stood for a while, then bowed and bowed for a while, then raised his head and stood upright for a moment. Then he prostrated and then raised his head. He would make takbir in the sitting position and then wait for a moment, then prostrate."

When he raised his head from the two prostrations, he sat for a while and then stood up from the first and third rak'ahs."
