[Machine] Abu Malik al-Ash'ari said: "Should I not tell you about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah?" He said: "He would establish the prayer and then line up the men, and the boys would line up behind them. Then he would lead them in prayer. He used to raise his voice when he would recite, bow, and prostrate. When he raised his head from prostration, he would say the takbir (saying Allahu Akbar).
