4.10 Affirming The Takbir For Every Movement Up Or Down In The Prayer, Except When Rising From Ruku' When One Should Say: Sami'aAllahu Liman Hamidah (Allah Hears Those Who Praise Him)

٤۔١٠ باب إِثْبَاتِ التَّكْبِيرِ فِي كُلِّ خَفْضٍ وَرَفْعٍ فِي الصَّلاَةِ إِلاَّ رَفْعَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ فَيَقُولُ فِيهِ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ

(219) bukhari:785ʿAbdullāh b. Yūsuf > Mālik > Ibn Shihāb > Abū Salamah > Abū Hurayrah

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."  

(٢١٩) البخاري:٧٨٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

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

(220) bukhari:789Yaḥyá b. Bukayr > al-Layth > ʿUqayl > Ibn Shihāb > Abū Bakr b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. al-Ḥārith > Abū Hurayrah

Whenever Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood for the prayer, he said Takbir on starting the prayer and then on bowing. On rising from bowing he said, "Samiʿa llahu liman hamidah," and then while standing straight he used to say, "Rabbana laka-l hamd" (Al- Laith said, "(The Prophet ﷺ said), 'Wa laka l-hamd'." He used to say Takbir on prostrating and on raising his head from prostration; again he would Say Takbir on prostrating and raising his head. He would then do the same in the whole of the prayer till it was completed. On rising from the second rakʿa (after sitting for at-Tahiyyat), he used to say Takbir.  

(٢٢٠) البخاري:٧٨٩حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ يُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَقُومُ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَرْكَعُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لَمِنْ حَمِدَهُ حِينَ يَرْفَعُ صُلْبَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ {بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ} وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَهْوِي ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَسْجُدُ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ كُلِّهَا حَتَّى يَقْضِيَهَا وَيُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَقُومُ مِنَ الثِّنْتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْجُلُوسِ  

(221) bukhari:786Abū al-Nuʿmān > Ḥammād > Ghaylān b. Jarīr > Muṭarrif b. ʿAbdullāh > Ṣallayt Khalf ʿAlī b. Abū Ṭālib

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."  

(٢٢١) البخاري:٧٨٦حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ غَيْلاَنَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

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
