The bowing, the prostration the sitting in between the two prostrations and the standing after the bowing of the Prophet ﷺ but not qiyam (standing in the prayer) and quʿud (sitting in the prayer) used to be approximately equal (in duration).

كَانَ رُكُوعُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَسُجُودُهُ وَبَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ مَا خَلاَ الْقِيَامَ وَالْقُعُودَ قَرِيبًا مِنَ السَّوَاءِ

The bowing, the prostrations, the period of standing after bowing and the interval between the two prostrations of the Prophet ﷺ used to be equal in duration .

كَانَ رُكُوعُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَسُجُودُهُ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَبَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ قَرِيبًا مِنَ السَّوَاءِ

I saw the Prophet ﷺ raise his hands when he uttered the takbir (Allah is most great), when he bowed and when he raised his head after bowing until he brought them to the lobes of his ears.

رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا كَبَّرَ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ بِهِمَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ

The prostration observed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, his bowing, and his sitting between the two prostrations were nearly equal.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ سُجُودُهُ وَرُكُوعُهُ وَقُعُودُهُ وَمَا بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ قَرِيبًا مِنَ السَّوَاءِ

He saw the Prophet ﷺ raise his hands when he bowed, and when he raised his head from bowing, until they were in level with the highest part of his ears.

أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ

The bowing of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when he raised his head from bowing, and his prostration, and the time between the two prostration, were almost equal in length.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ رُكُوعُهُ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَسُجُودُهُ وَمَا بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ قَرِيبًا مِنَ السَّوَاءِ

He saw the Prophet ﷺ raise his hands when praying, when he bowed, when he raised his head from bowing, when he prostrated and when he raised his head from prostrating, until they were in level with the top part of his ears.

أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فِي صَلاَتِهِ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ

“I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raising his hands until they were parallel to his shoulders when he started the prayer, and when he bowed in Ruku’, and when he raised his head from Ruku’, but he did not raise them between the two prostrations.”

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلاَةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَلاَ يَرْفَعُ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ

The bowing of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when he raised his head from bowing, and his prostration, and the time between the two prostration, were almost equal in length. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1065)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ «رُكُوعُهُ إِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَسُجُودُهُ وَبَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ قَرِيبًا مِنَ السَّوَاءِ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to stand up after raising his head from the bowing position until we would say, "He has stood up." And when he raised his head from prostration, he would sit between the two prostrations until we would say, "He has sat down."

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ قَامَ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ أَوْهَمَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السَّجْدَةِ جَلَسَ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ أَوْهَمَ

He saw the Prophet ﷺ raise his hands when praying, when he bowed, when he raised his head from bowing, when he prostrated and when he raised his head from prostrating, until they were in level with the top part of his ears. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1085)

أَنَّهُ رَأَى نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فِي صَلَاتِهِ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ رُكُوعِهِ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ سُجُودِهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ

"The Salat of Messenger of Allah (was such that) when he bowed, and when he raised his head from bowing, and when he prostrated, and when he raised his head from prostration it (all) was nearly the same." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 279)

كَانَتْ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَاصَلَّى فَرَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ وَبَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ قَرِيبًا مِنَ السَّوَاءِ

"I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he started to pray, raise his hands, and when he bowed, and when he raised his head from bowing, until they were parallel with the top of his ears." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 881)

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ حَتَّى حَاذَتَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ

[AI] "The Prophet ﷺ used to raise his hands when he started the prayer until his hands were level with his ears, and when he bowed, and when he raised his head from the bowing position."

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا كَبَّرَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا أُذُنَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ»

[AI] "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to, when he entered prayer, raise his hands to the level of his ears. And when he bowed, and when he raised his head from bowing."

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ» إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى فُرُوعِ أُذُنَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ

[AI] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raising his hands when he said the takbeer until they reached his ears, and when he bowed, and when he raised his head from the bowing position.

«رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ» يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا كَبَّرَ حَتَّى يُحَاذِي بِهِمَا أُذُنَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ

[AI] The prayer of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , was when he prayed, he would perform the bowing and when he raised his head from the bowing and when he prostrated and when he raised his head from the prostration between the two prostrations, it was close to the level, all of which were narrated correctly in the Hadith of Shu'bah ibn al-Hajjaj.

كَانَتْ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى فَرَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ قَرِيبًا مِنَ السَّوَاءِ أَخْرَجَاهُ جَمِيعًا فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ

"رَأَيْتُ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ رَفَعَ يَدَيْه إِذَا رَكَعَ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأسَهُ مِنَ الركُوعِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِى بِهِمَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ".
