[Machine] Narrated Abu Ali Al-Ju'bi, from Fadalah bin 'Ubayd, who said: I heard the Prophet ﷺ praying and he (the person praying) did not glorify his Lord nor send blessings upon his Prophet ﷺ, so the Prophet ﷺ said, "Hurry up! When one of you prays, let him begin by glorifying his Lord and praising Him, then let him send blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ, then let him ask for whatever he wishes."

عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ الْجَنْبِيِّ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَجُلًا يَدْعُو فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلَمْ يُمَجِّدْ رَبَّهُ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «عَجِلَ هَذَا إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِتَمْجِيدِ رَبِّهِ وَالثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ لِيُصَلِّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُمَّ لِيَدْعُ بِمَا شَاءَ»

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard a person supplicating during prayer. He did not mention the greatness of Allah, nor did he invoke blessings on the Prophet ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He made haste. He then called him and said either to him or to any other person: If any of you prays, he should mention the exaltation of his Lord in the beginning and praise Him; he should then invoke blessings on the Prophet ﷺ; thereafter he should supplicate Allah for anything he wishes.

“The Prophet ﷺ heard a man supplicating in his Salat but he did not send Salat upon the Prophet ﷺ, so the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘This one has rushed.’ Then he called him and said to him, or to someone other than him: ‘When one of you performs Salat, then let him begin by expressing gratitude to Allah and praising Him. Then, let him send Salat upon the Prophet ﷺ, then let him supplicate after that, whatever he wishes.’”

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a man praying without praising or glorifying Allah, nor sending blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ , and then he left.
