[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a man praying without praising Allah, glorifying Him, and sending blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ , and then he left. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ exclaimed, "Hurry, call him back!" The man was summoned and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, and to others present, "When any of you pray, let them begin with praising their Lord, glorifying Him, and sending blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ , and then let them supplicate with whatever they wish."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard a person supplicating during prayer. He did not mention the greatness of Allah, nor did he invoke blessings on the Prophet ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He made haste. He then called him and said either to him or to any other person: If any of you prays, he should mention the exaltation of his Lord in the beginning and praise Him; he should then invoke blessings on the Prophet ﷺ; thereafter he should supplicate Allah for anything he wishes.

“The Prophet ﷺ heard a man supplicating in his Salat but he did not send Salat upon the Prophet ﷺ, so the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘This one has rushed.’ Then he called him and said to him, or to someone other than him: ‘When one of you performs Salat, then let him begin by expressing gratitude to Allah and praising Him. Then, let him send Salat upon the Prophet ﷺ, then let him supplicate after that, whatever he wishes.’”
