ʿImran bin Husain and I offered the prayer behind ʿAli bin Abi Talib. When ʿAli prostrated, he said the Takbir, when he raised his head, he said the Takbir and when he got up for the third rakʿa he said the Takbir. On completion of the prayer ʿImran took my hand and said, "This (i.e. ʿAli) made me remember the prayer of Muhammad" Or he said, "He led us in a prayer like that of Muhammad."
صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ أَنَا وَعِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ فَكَانَ إِذَا سَجَدَ كَبَّرَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ كَبَّرَ وَإِذَا نَهَضَ مِنَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ كَبَّرَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلاَةَ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ فَقَالَ قَدْ ذَكَّرَنِي هَذَا صَلاَةَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ أَوْ قَالَ لَقَدْ صَلَّى بِنَا صَلاَةَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ
