Volume 1, Book 12, Number 768
Narrated Abu Bakr bin 'Abdur Rahman Ibn Harith bin Hisham and Abu
Salama bin 'Abdur Rahman:
Abu Huraira used to say Takbir in all the prayers, compulsory and
optional -- in the month of Ramadan or other months. He used to say
Takbir on standing for prayer and on bowing; then he would say,
"Salmi'a-l-lahu Liman hamida," and before prostrating he would say
"Rabbana walaka-l-hamd." Then he would say Takbir on prostrating and
on raising his head from the prostration, then another Takbir on
prostrating (for the second time), and on raising his head from the
prostration. He also would say the Takbir on standing from the
second Rak'a. He used to do the same in every Rak'a till he
completed the prayer. On completion of the prayer, he would say, "By
Him in Whose Hands my soul is! No doubt my prayer is closer to that
of Allah's Apostle than yours, and this was His prayer till he left
this world." And Abu Huraira said, "When Allah's Apostle raised his
head from (bowing) he used to say "Sami' a-l-lahu Liman hamida,
Rabbana walakal-hamd." He Would invoke Allah for some people by
naming them: "O Allah! Save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid and Salama bin
Hisham and 'Aiyash bin Abi Rabi'a and the weak and the helpless
people among the faithful believers O Allah! Be hard on the tribe of
Mudar and let them suffer from famine years like that of the time of
Joseph." In those days the Eastern section of the tribe of Mudar was
against the Prophet.
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 769
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle fell from a horse and the right side of his body was
injured. We went to enquire about his health meanwhile it was time
for the prayer and he led the prayer sitting and we also prayed
while sitting. On completion of the prayer he said, "The Imam is to
be followed; say Takbir when he says it; bow when he bows; rise when
he rises and when he says "Sami'a-l-lahu Liman hamida," say,
"Rabbana walaka-lhamd", and prostrate if he prostrates." Sufyan
narrated the same from Ma'mar. Ibn Juraij said that his (the
Prophet's) right leg had been injured.
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 770
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we see our Lord on the
Day of Resurrection?" He replied, "Do you have any doubt in seeing
the full moon on a clear (not cloudy) night?" They replied, "No, O
Allah's Apostle!" He said, "Do you have any doubt in seeing the sun
when there are no clouds?" They replied in the negative. He said,
"You will see Allah (your Lord) in the same way. On the Day of
Resurrection, people will be gathered and He will order the people
to follow what they used to worship. So some of them will follow the
sun, some will follow the moon, and some will follow other deities;
and only this nation (Muslims) will be left with its hypocrites.
Allah will come to them and say, 'I am Your Lord.' They will say,
'We shall stay in this place till our Lord comes to us and when our
Lord will come, we will recognize Him. Then Allah will come to them
again and say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord.'
Allah will call them, and As-Sirat (a bridge) will be laid across
Hell and I (Muhammad) shall be the first amongst the Apostles to
cross it with my followers. Nobody except the Apostles will then be
able to speak and they will be saying then, 'O Allah! Save us. O
Allah Save us.'
There will be hooks like the thorns of Sa'dan in Hell. Have you seen
the thorns of Sa'dan?" The people said, "Yes." He said, "These hooks
will be like the thorns of Sa'dan but nobody except Allah knows
their greatness in size and these will entangle the people according
to their deeds; some of them will fall and stay in Hell forever;
others will receive punishment (torn into small pieces) and will get
out of Hell, till when Allah intends mercy on whomever He likes
amongst the people of Hell, He will order the angels to take out of
Hell those who worshipped none but Him alone. The angels will take
them out by recognizing them from the traces of prostrations, for
Allah has forbidden the (Hell) fire to eat away those traces. So
they will come out of the Fire, it will eat away from the whole of
the human body except the marks of the prostrations. At that time
they will come out of the Fire as mere skeletons. The Water of Life
will be poured on them and as a result they will grow like the seeds
growing on the bank of flowing water. Then when Allah had finished
from the Judgments amongst his creations, one man will be left
between Hell and Paradise and he will be the last man from the
people of Hell to enter paradise. He will be facing Hell, and will
say, 'O Allah! Turn my face from the fire as its wind has dried me
and its steam has burnt me.' Allah will ask him, "Will you ask for
anything more in case this favor is granted to you?' He will say,
"No by Your (Honor) Power!" And he will give to his Lord (Allah)
what he will of the pledges and the covenants. Allah will then turn
his face from the Fire. When he will face Paradise and will see its
charm, he will remain quiet as long as Allah will. He then will say,
'O my Lord! Let me go to the gate of Paradise.' Allah will ask him,
'Didn't you give pledges and make covenants (to the effect) that you
would not ask for anything more than what you requested at first?'
He will say, 'O my Lord! Do not make me the most wretched, amongst
Your creatures.' Allah will say, 'If this request is granted, will
you then ask for anything else?' He will say, 'No! By Your Power! I
shall not ask for anything else.' Then he will give to his Lord what
He will of the pledges and the covenants. Allah will then let him go
to the gate of Paradise. On reaching then and seeing its life,
charm, and pleasure, he will remain quiet as long as Allah wills and
then will say, 'O my Lord ! Let me enter Paradise.' Allah will say,
May Allah be merciful unto you, O son of Adam! How treacherous you
are! Haven't you made covenants and given pledges that you will not
ask for anything more that what you have been given?' He will say,
'O my Lord! Do not make me the most wretched amongst Your
creatures.' So Allah will laugh and allow him to enter Paradise and
will ask him to request as much as he likes. He will do so till all
his desires have been fulfilled . Then Allah will say, 'Request more
of such and such things.' Allah will remind him and when all his
desires and wishes; have been fulfilled, Allah will say "All this is
granted to you and a similar amount besides." Abu Said Al-Khudri,
said to Abu Huraira, 'Allah's Apostle said, "Allah said, 'That is
for you and ten times more like it.' "Abu Huraira said, "I do not
remember from Allah's Apostle except (his saying), 'All this is
granted to you and a similar amount besides." Abu Sahd said, "I
heard him saying, 'That is for you and ten times more the like of it."

Hudhaifa said, "I saw a person not performing his bowing and
prostrations perfectly. When he completed the prayer, I told him
that he had not prayed." I think that Hudhaifa added (i.e. said to
the man), "Had you died, you would have died on a tradition other
than that of the Prophet Muhammad."

Volume 1, Book 12, Number 777
Narrated Abu Salama:
Once I went to Abu- Sa'id Al-Khudri and asked him, "Won't you come
with us to the date-palm trees to have a talk?" So Abu Said went out
and I asked him, "Tell me what you heard from the Prophet about the
Night of Qadr." Abu Said replied, "Once Allah's Apostle performed
I'tikaf (seclusion) on the first ten days of the month of Ramadan
and we did the same with him. Gabriel came to him and said, 'The
night you are looking for is ahead of you.' So the Prophet performed
the I'tikaf in the middle (second) ten days of the month of Ramadan
and we too performed I'tikaf with him. Gabriel came to him and said,
'The night which you are looking for is ahead of you.' In the
morning of the 20th of Ramadan the Prophet delivered a sermon
saying, 'Whoever has performed I'tikaf with me should continue it. I
have been shown the Night of "Qadr", but have forgotten its date,
but it is in the odd nights of the last ten nights. I saw in my
dream that I was prostrating in mud and water.' In those days the
roof of the mosque was made of branches of date-palm trees. At that
time the sky was clear and no cloud was visible, but suddenly a
cloud came and it rained. The Prophet led us in the prayer and I saw
the traces of mud on the forehead and on the nose of Allah's
Apostle. So it was the confirmation of that dream."

"Subhanaka-Allahumma Rabbana Wabihamdika, Allahumma Ighfir-li" (I
honor Allah from all what (unsuitable things) is ascribed to Him, O
Allah! Our Lord! All praises are for You. O Allah! Forgive me). In
this way he was acting on what was explained to him in the Holy Qur'an.
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 782
Narrated Abu Qilaba:
Once Malik bin Huwairith said to his friends, "Shall I show you how
Allah's Apostle used to offer his prayers?" And it was not the time
for any of the compulsory congregational prayers. So he stood up
(for the prayer) bowed and said the Takbir, then he raised his head
and remained standing for a while and then prostrated and raised his
head for a while (sat up for a while). He prayed like our Sheikh
'Amr Ibn Salama. (Aiyub said, "The latter used to do a thing which I
did not see the people doing i.e. he used to sit between the third
and the fourth Rak'a). IMalik bin Huwairith said, "We came to the
Prophet (after embracing Islam) and stayed with him. He said to us,
'When you go back to your families, pray such and such a prayer at
such and such a time, pray such and such a prayer at such and such a
time, and when there is the time for the prayer then only of you
should pronounce the Adhan for the prayer and the oldest of you
should lead the prayer."
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 783
Narrated Al-Bara':
The time taken by the Prophet in prostrations, bowing, and the

Volume 1, Book 12, Number 784
Narrated Thabit:
Anas said, "I will leave no stone unturned in making you offer the
prayer as I have seen the Prophet making us offer it." Anas used to
do a thing which I have not seen you doing. He used to stand after
the bowing for such a long time that one would think that he had
forgotten (the prostrations) and he used to sit in-between the
prostrations so long that one would think that he had forgotten the
second prostration.
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 785
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet said, "Be straight in the prostrations and none of you
should put his forearms on the ground (in the prostration) like a dog."

Narrated Aiyub:
Abu Qilaba said, "Malik bin Huwairith came to us and led us in the
prayer in this mosque of ours and said, 'I lead you in prayer but I
do not want to offer the prayer but just to show you how Allah's
Apostle performed his prayers." I asked Abu Qilaba, "How was the
prayer of Malik bin Huwairith?" He replied, "Like the prayer of this
Sheikh of ours-- i.e. 'Amr bin Salima." That Sheikh used to
pronounce the Takbir perfectly and when he raised his head from the
second prostration he would sit for a while and then support himself
on the ground and get up.
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 788
Narrated Said bin Al-Harith:
Abu Said led us in the prayer and said the Takbir aloud on arising

doing the same."
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 789
Narrated Mutarrif:
'Imran and I prayed behind 'Ali bin Abi Talib and he said Takbir on
prostrating, on rising and on getting up after the two Rakat (i.e.
after the second Rak'a). When the prayer was finished, 'Imran took
me by the hand and said, "He ('Ali) has prayed the prayer of
Muhammad" (or said, "He made us remember the prayer of Muhammad)."
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 790
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abdullah:
I saw 'Abdullah bin 'Umar crossing his legs while sitting in the
prayer and I, a mere youngster in those days, did the same. Ibn
'Umar forbade me to do so, and said, "The proper way is to keep the
right foot propped up and bend the left in the prayer." I said
questioningly, "But you are doing so (crossing the legs)." He said,
"My feet cannot bear my weight."
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 791
Narrated Muhammad bin 'Amr bin 'Ata':
I was sitting with some of the companions of Allah's Apostle and we
were discussing about the way of praying of the Prophet. Abu Humaid
As-Saidi said, "I remember the prayer of Allah's Apostle better than
any one of you. I saw him raising both his hands up to the level of
the shoulders on saying the Takbir; and on bowing he placed his
hands on both knees and bent his back straight, then he stood up
straight from bowing till all the vertebrate took their normal
positions. In prostrations, he placed both his hands on the ground
with the forearms away from the ground and away from his body, and
his toes were facing the Qibla. On sitting In the second Rak'a he
sat on his left foot and propped up the right one; and in the last
Rak'a he pushed his left foot forward and kept the other foot
propped up and sat over the buttocks "
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 792
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Buhaina:
(he was from the tribe of Uzd Shan'u'a and was the ally of the tribe
of 'Abdul-Manaf and was one of the companions of the Prophet): Once
the Prophet led us in the Zuhr prayer and stood up after the second
Rak'a and did not sit down. The people stood up with him. When the
prayer was about to end and the people were waiting for him to say
the Taslim, he said Takbir while sitting and prostrated twice before
saying the Taslim and then he said the Taslim."
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 793
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Malik bin Buhaina:
Once Allah's Apostle led us in the Zuhr prayer and got up (after the
prostrations of the second Rak'a) although he should have sat (for
the Tashah-hud). So at the end of the prayer, he prostrated twice
while sitting (prostrations of Sahu).

Narrated Shaqlq bin Salama:
'Abdullah said, "Whenever we prayed behind the Prophet we used to
recite (in sitting) 'Peace be on Gabriel, Michael, peace be on so
and so. Once Allah's Apostle looked back at us and said, 'Allah
Himself is As-Salam (Peace), and if anyone of you prays then he
should say, At-Tahiyatu lil-lahi wassalawatu wat-taiyibatu. AsSalamu
'alalika aiyuha-n-Nabiyu wa rahmatu-l-lahi wa barakatuhu. As-Salam
alaina wa ala ibadil-lah is-salihin. (All the compliments, prayers
and good things are due to Allah: peace be on you, O Prophet and
Allah's mercy and blessings be on you. Peace be on us an on the true
pious slaves of Allah). (If you say that, it will be for all the
slaves in the heaven and the earth). Ash-hadu an la-ilaha
illa-l-lahu wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa Rasuluhu. (I
testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and I
also testify that Muhammad is His slave and His Apostle)."

fitnatil-mahya wa fitnatil-mamati. Allahumma inni a'udhu bika
minal-ma thami wal-maghrami. (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from
the punishment of the grave and from the afflictions of Masi,h
Ad-Dajjal and from the afflictions of life and death. O Allah, I
seek refuge with You from the sins and from being in debt)."
Somebody said to him, "Why do you so frequently seek refuge with
Allah from being in debt?" The Prophet replied, "A person in debt
tells lies whenever he speaks, and breaks promises whenever he makes
(them)." 'Aisha also narrated: I heard Allah's Apostle in his prayer
seeking refuge with Allah from the afflictions of Ad-dajjal.
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 796
Narrated Abu Bakr As-Siddiq:
I asked Allah's Apostle to teach me an invocation so that I may
invoke Allah with it in my prayer. He told me to say, "Allahumma
inni zalumtu nafsi zulman kathiran, Wala yaghfirudhdhunuba illa anta
faghfirli maghfiratan min 'Indika, war-hamni innaka
antal-ghafururrahim (O Allah! I have done great injustice to myself
and none except You forgives sins, so please forgive me and be
Merciful to me as You are the Forgiver, the Merciful)."
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 797
Narrated 'Abdullah:
When we prayed with the Prophet we used to say, "Peace be on Allah
from His slaves and peace be on so and so." The Prophet said, "Don't
say As-Salam be on Allah, for He Himself is As-Salam, but say,
'At-tahiyatu lil-lahi was-salawatu wat-taiyibatu. As-salamu 'Alaika
aiyuhan-Nabiyu warahmatu-l-lahi wa barakatuhu. As-salamu 'alaina wa
'ala ibadillahis-salihin. (If you say this then it will be for all
the slaves in heaven or between heaven and earth). Ashhadu an
la-ilaha illallahu wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'Abduhu wa Rasuluhu.'
Then select the invocation you like best and recite it." (See Hadith
No. 794, 795 & 796).

used to lead my tribe of Bani Salim in prayer. Once I went to the
Prophet and said to him, 'I have weak eye-sight and at times the
rainwater flood intervenes between me and the mosque of my tribe and
I wish that you would come to my house and pray at some place so
that I could take that place as a place for praying (mosque). He
said, "Allah willing, I shall do that." Next day Allah's Apostle
along with Abu Bakr, came to my house after the sun had risen high
and he asked permission to enter. I gave him permission, but he
didn't sit till he said to me, "Where do you want me to pray in your
house?" I pointed to a place in the house where I wanted him to
pray. So he stood up for the prayer and we aligned behind him. He
completed the prayer with Taslim and we did the same simultaneously."

perform the Hajj, and 'Umra; fight and struggle in Allah's Cause and
give in charity." The Prophet said, "Shall I not tell you a thing
upon which if you acted you would catch up with those who have
surpassed you? Nobody would overtake you and you would be better
than the people amongst whom you live except those who would do the
same. Say "Sub-han-al-lah", "Alhamdu-lillah" and "Allahu Akbar"
thirty three times each after every (compulsory) prayer." We
differed and some of us said that we should say, "Subhan-al-lah"
thirty three times and "Alhamdu lillah" thirty three times and
"Allahu Akbar" thirty four times. I went to the Prophet who said,
"Say, "Subhan-al-lah" and "Alhamdu lillah" and "Allahu Akbar" all
together for thirty three times."

yanfa'u dhal-jaddi minka-l-jadd. (None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah and He has no partner in Lordship or in worship
or in the Names and the Qualities, and for Him is the Kingdom and
all the praises are for Him and He is omnipotent. O Allah! Nobody
can hold back what you give and nobody can give what You hold back.

said, 'In this morning some of my slaves remained as true believers
and some became non-believers; whoever said that the rain was due to
the Blessings and the Mercy of Allah had belief in Me and he
disbelieves in the stars, and whoever said that it rained because of
a particular star had no belief in Me but believes in that star.' "

and found the people surprised at his haste and said to them, "I
remembered a piece of gold Lying in my house and I did not like it
to divert my attention from Allah's worship, so I have ordered it to
be distributed (in charity)."

One night I slept at the house of my aunt Maimuna and the Prophet
slept (too). He got up (for prayer) in the last hours of the night
and performed a light ablution from a hanging leather skin. ('Amr,
the sub-narrator described that the ablution was very light). Then
he stood up for prayer and I got up too and performed the ablution
in the same way and joined him on his left side. He pulled me to the
right and prayed as much as Allah will. Then he lay down and slept
and I heard his breath sounds till the Mu'adh-dhin came to him to
inform him about the (Fajr) prayer. He left with him for the prayer
and prayed without repeating the ablution. (Sufyan the subnarrator
said: We said to 'Amr, "Some people say, 'The eyes of the Prophet
sleep but his heart never sleeps.' " 'Amr said, "'Ubai bin 'Umar
said, 'The dreams of the Prophets are Divine Inspirations. Then he
recited, '(O my son), I have seen in dream that I was slaughtering
you (offering you in sacrifice).") (37.102)

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
My grandmother Mulaika invited Allah's Apostle for a meal which she
had prepared specially for him. He ate some of it and said, "Get up.
I shall lead you in the prayer." I brought a mat that had become
black owing to excessive use and I sprinkled water on it. Allah's
Apostle stood on it and prayed two Rakat; and the orphan was with me
(in the first row), and the old lady stood behind us.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Once I came riding a she-ass and I, then, had just attained the age
of puberty. Allah's Apostle was leading the people in prayer at Mina
facing no wall. I passed in front of the row and let loose the
she-ass for grazing and joined the row and no one objected to my deed.

Narrated 'Aisha:
Once Allah's Apostle delayed the 'Isha' prayer till 'Umar informed
him that the women and children had slept. Then Allah's Apostle came
out and said: "None from amongst the dwellers of earth have prayed
this prayer except you." In those days none but the people of Medina
prayed.
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 822
Narrated 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Abis:
A person asked Ibn Abbas, "Have you ever presented yourself at the
('Id) prayer with Allah's Apostle?" He replied, "Yes." And had it
not been for my kinship (position) with the Prophet it would not
have been possible for me to do so (for he was too young). The
Prophet went to the mark near the house of Kathir bin As-Salt and
delivered a sermon. He then went towards the women. He advised and
reminded them and asked them to give alms. So the woman would bring
her hand near her neck and take off her necklace and put it in the
garment of Bilal. Then the Prophet and Bilal came to the house."

for this prayer." In those days, there was no prayer except in
Medina and they used to pray the 'Isha' prayer between the
disappearance of the twilight and the first third of the night.

She replied "Yes."

women might leave before men could get in touch with them)."
