Abu Qilaba said, "Malik bin Huwairith came to this Mosque of ours and said, 'I pray in front of you and my aim is not to lead the prayer but to show you the way in which the Prophet ﷺ used to pray.' " I asked Abu Qilaba, "How did he use to pray?' " He replied, "(The Prophet ﷺ used to pray) like this Sheikh of ours and the Sheikh used to sit for a while after the prostration, before getting up after the first rakʿa. "  

إِنِّي لأُصَلِّي بِكُمْ وَمَا أُرِيدُ الصَّلاَةَ أُصَلِّي كَيْفَ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فَقُلْتُ لأَبِي قِلاَبَةَ كَيْفَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي قَالَ مِثْلَ شَيْخِنَا هَذَا قَالَ وَكَانَ شَيْخًا يَجْلِسُ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْهَضَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الأُولَى  

Abu sulaiman malik b. al-Huwairith came to our mosque and said: By Allah, I Shall offer prayer; and I do not intend to pray, but I intend to show you how I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offering prayer. He (the narrator Ayyub) said: I asked Abu Qilabah: How did he pray? He replied: Like the prayer of this head after the last prostration in the first rak’ah, he used to sit, and then stand up.  

وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأُصَلِّي بِكُمْ وَمَا أُرِيدُ الصَّلاَةَ وَلَكِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُرِيَكُمْ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي قِلاَبَةَ كَيْفَ صَلَّى قَالَ مِثْلَ صَلاَةِ شَيْخِنَا هَذَا يَعْنِي عَمْرَو بْنَ سَلِمَةَ إِمَامَهُمْ وَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السَّجْدَةِ الآخِرَةِ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الأُولَى قَعَدَ 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  

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. (Using translation from Bukhārī 824)   

أَنْ أُرِيَكُمْ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي قَالَ أَيُّوبُ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي قِلَابَةَ كَيْفَ كَانَتْ يَعْنِي صَلَاتَهُ؟ قَالَ مِثْلَ صَلَاةِ شَيْخِنَا هَذَا يَعْنِي عَمْرَو بْنَ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ أَيُّوبُ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الشَّيْخُ يُتِمُّ التَّكْبِيرَ وَكَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السَّجْدَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ جَلَسَ ثُمَّ اعْتَمَدَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ
