ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ أَوْهَمَ عَالِمًا مِنَ النَّاسَ أَنَّ عَلَى الْمُصَلِّي التَّكْبِيرَ فِي كُلِّ خَفْضٍ وَرَفْعٍ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ

When Abu Huraira led us in prayer he used to say Takbir on each bowing and rising. On the completion of the prayer he used to say, "My prayer is more similar to the prayer of Messenger of Allah ﷺ than that of anyone of you."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ فَيُكَبِّرُ كُلَّمَا خَفَضَ وَرَفَعَ فَإِذَا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ إِنِّي لأَشْبَهُكُمْ صَلاَةً بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

Abu Huraira led prayer for them and recited takbir when he bent and raised himself (in ruku' and sujud) and after completing (the prayer) he said: By Allah I say prayer which has the best resemblance with the prayer of the Prophet ﷺ amongst you.  

أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي لَهُمْ فَيُكَبِّرُ كُلَّمَا خَفَضَ وَرَفَعَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَشْبَهُكُمْ صَلاَةً بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

That Abu Hurairah used to lead them in prayer, and he said the takbir when he went down and came up. When he had finished he said: 'By Allah (SWT), I am the one among you whose prayer most closely resembles that of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.'"  

أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ فَيُكَبِّرُ كُلَّمَا خَفَضَ وَرَفَعَ فَإِذَا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَشْبَهُكُمْ صَلاَةً بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abu Salama ibn Abdar-Rahman ibn Awf that Abu Hurayra used to lead them in prayer and would say "Allah is greater" whenever he lowered himself and raised himself. When he had finished he would say, "By Allah, I am the person whose prayer most resembles the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."  

أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي لَهُمْ فَيُكَبِّرُ كُلَّمَا خَفَضَ وَرَفَعَ فَإِذَا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَشْبَهُكُمْ بِصَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

That Abu Hurairah used to lead them in prayer, and he said the takbir when he went down and came up. When he had finished he said: 'By Allah (SWT), I am the one among you whose prayer most closely resembles that of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1155)   

أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ يُكَبِّرُ كُلَّمَا خَفَضَ وَرَفَعَ وَيَقُولُ إِنِّي أَشْبَهُكُمْ صَلَاةً بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

That Abu Hurairah used to lead them in prayer, and he said the takbir when he went down and came up. When he had finished he said: 'By Allah (SWT), I am the one among you whose prayer most closely resembles that of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1155)   

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ فَيُكَبِّرُ كُلَّمَا رَفَعَ وَوَضَعَ فَإِذَا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ أَنَا أَشْبَهُكُمْ صَلَاةً بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

Abu Huraira led prayer for them and recited takbir when he bent and raised himself (in ruku' and sujud) and after completing (the prayer) he said: By Allah I say prayer which has the best resemblance with the prayer of the Prophet ﷺ amongst you. (Using translation from Muslim 392a)  

أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ فَيُكَبِّرُ كُلَّمَا خَفَضَ وَرَفَعَ فَإِذَا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ «وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَشْبَهُكُمْ صَلَاةً بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ»  

"عَنْ أَبِى سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ إِذَا صَلَّى لَنَا كَبَّرَ كُلَّمَا رَفَعَ وَوَضَعَ وَإِذَا انْصَرفَ قَالَ: أَنا أَشْبَهكُمْ صلَاةً بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ".
