"الصَّلاةُ مِثْنَى مَثْنَى، تَشَهُّدٌ في كُلِّ وَكْعَتَينِ، وَتَضَرُّعٌ وَتَخَشُّعٌ وَتَمَسْكُنٌ وَتُقْنِعُ بِيَدَيكَ، وتقول: يا ربِّ يا ربِّ، فمن لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَهى خِدَاجٌ ".

Collected by Tirmidhī, Ibn Mājah, Aḥmad, Ṭabarānī, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, Bayhaqī, SuyūṭīMessenger of Allah (S) said: "As-Salat is two and two, with a Tashahhud for every two Rakʿah, with humility, imploring, having a sense of tranquility, pleading and showing helplessness and stretching out your hand" - he said: raising them - "to your Lord, with the insides of them facing your face, saying: 'O Lord! O Lord! And whoever does not do this, then it is like this or that."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الصَّلاَةُ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى تَشَهَّدُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَتَخَشَّعُ وَتَضَرَّعُ وَتَمَسْكَنُ وَتَذَرَّعُ وَتُقْنِعُ يَدَيْكَ يَقُولُ تَرْفَعُهُمَا إِلَى رَبِّكَ مُسْتَقْبِلاً بِبُطُونِهِمَا وَجْهَكَ وَتَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ كَذَا وَكَذَا
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘The night prayers are (to be offered) two by two. Say the Tashah-hud after each two Rakʿah, and raise your hands in all humility like one who is poor and needy and say: ‘Allāhummaghfir lī (O Allah, forgive me).’ And whoever does not do that, it is imperfect.’”
رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلاَةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى وَتَشَهَّدُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَتَبَاءَسُ وَتَمَسْكَنُ وَتُقْنِعُ وَتَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي فَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "The prayer is performed in pairs, and the testimony of faith is recited in every two units of prayer. It begins with takbir (saying Allahu Akbar), and ends with taslim (saying As-Salamu Alaykum). The hands are held together in a specific manner, and you say, 'O Allah, O Allah.' Whoever does not do this, then it is deficient and lacking." Hajjaj said, "And the hands are held together."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الصَّلَاةُ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى وَتَشَهَّدُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَتَبَأَّسُ وَتَمَسْكَنُ وَتُقْنِعُ يَدَكَ وَتَقُولُ اللهُمَّ اللهُمَّ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ وَقَالَ حَجَّاجٌ وَتُقْنِعُ يَدَيْكَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ الصَّلَاةُ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى وَتَشَهَّدُ وَتُسَلِّمُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَتَبَأَّسُ وَتَمَسْكَنُ وَتُقْنِعُ يَدَيْكَ وَتَقُولُ اللهُمَّ اللهُمَّ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ
[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: "The prayer is performed in pairs, with a testimony in each two units of prayer, and with supplication, humility, and devotion. You should hold firmly and submit with your hands, raising them towards your Lord, facing Him. You should say, 'O Lord, O Lord.' Whoever does not do that, he is deceiving."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The prayer is in pairs, in pairs. You should give the testimony in every two cycles [rak'ahs], then supplicate, humble yourself, hold yourself back, and raise your hands, saying, 'I seek guidance through them to face You [Allah].' And saying, 'O Lord, O Lord.' So whoever does not do this, it is a deficiency, Shu'bah differed regarding its chain of narration."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الصَّلَاةُ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى تَشَهَّدْ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَضَرَّعْ وَتَخَشَّعْ وَتَمَسْكَنْ وَتَرْفَعُ يَدَيْكَ تَقُولُ تَسْتَقْبِلُ بِهِمَا وَجْهَكَ وَتَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ خَالَفَهُ شُعْبَةُ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ
"الصَّلاةُ مَثْنَى مَثنَى، أَن تَشَهَّدَ في كل ركعتين أن تَبَاءَسَ وتَمَسْكَنَ وَتُقْنِعَ بِيَدَيكَ، وَتَقُولَ: اللَّهُمَّ اللَّهُمَّ، فَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ خِدَاجُ".
"صَلاةُ اللَّيلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى وتَشَهَّدْ في كُلِّ رَكعَتَين وتَبَأسْ وتَمسْكنْ وَتَقنَعْ وَتَقُولُ: اللهم اغْفِر لي فَمَنَ لم يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فِهَى خِدَاجٌ".
