Abu Qilaba said, "Malik bin Huwairith came to us and led us in the prayer in this mosque of ours and said, 'I lead you in prayer but I do not want to offer the prayer but just to show you how Allah's Apostle performed his prayers." I asked Abu Qilaba, "How was the prayer of Malik bin Huwairith?" He replied, "Like the prayer of this Sheikh of ours-- i.e. ʿAmr bin Salima." That Sheikh used to pronounce the Takbir perfectly and when he raised his head from the second prostration he would sit for a while and then support himself on the ground and get up.  

إِنِّي لأُصَلِّي بِكُمْ وَمَا أُرِيدُ الصَّلاَةَ وَلَكِنْ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُرِيَكُمْ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي قَالَ أَيُّوبُ فَقُلْتُ لأَبِي قِلاَبَةَ وَكَيْفَ كَانَتْ صَلاَتُهُ قَالَ مِثْلَ صَلاَةِ شَيْخِنَا هَذَا يَعْنِي عَمْرَو بْنَ سَلِمَةَ قَالَ أَيُّوبُ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الشَّيْخُ يُتِمُّ التَّكْبِيرَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ عَنِ السَّجْدَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ جَلَسَ وَاعْتَمَدَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ ثُمَّ قَامَ  

[Machine] Indeed, I pray with you and I do not desire the prayer, but I want to show you how I saw the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , praying. Ayyub said, "So I said to Abu Qilabah, 'How was his prayer?' He said, 'Like the prayer of our sheikh, Amr ibn Salamah. And the sheikh used to complete the takbir. And when he lifted his head from the first rak'ah, he relied on the ground and then stood up.'"  

إِنِّي لِأُصَلِّي بِكُمْ وَلَا أُرِيدُ الصَّلَاةَ وَلَكِنْ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُرِيَكُمْ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي قَالَ أَيُّوبُ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي قِلَابَةَ كَيْفَ كَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ؟ قَالَ كَصَلَاةِ شَيْخِنَا عَمْرِو بْنِ سَلَمَةَ وَكَانَ الشَّيْخُ يُتِمُّ التَّكْبِيرَ وَكَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى اعْتَمَدَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ قَامَ
