We discussed the things that cut off the prayer according to Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما . He said: I and a boy from Banu Abdul Muttalib came riding a donkey, and the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم was leading the people in prayer. He dismounted and I also dismounted. I left the donkey in front of the row (of the worshippers). He (the Prophet) did not pay attention to that. Then two girls from Banu Abdul Muttalib came and joined the row in the middle, but he paid no attention to that.

A youth from the Quraish passed in front of Abu Saeed Al-Khudri رضی اللہ عنہ who was praying. He repulsed him. He returned again. He then repulsed him for the third time.

Abu Dawud said: If two traditions of the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم conflict, the practice of the Companions after him should be taken into consideration.

I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم that when he began prayer, he used to raise his hands opposite his shoulders, and he did so when he bowed, and raised his head after bowing. Sufyan (a narrator) once said: “When he raised his head: ; and after he used to say: “When he raised his head after bowing. He would not raise (his hands) between the two prostrations.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم used to raise his hands opposite his shoulders when he began prayer, then he uttered takbir (Allah is most great) in the same condition, and then he bowed. And when he raised his back (head) after bowing he raised them opposite his shoulders, and said: “Allah listens to him who praises Him. ” But he did not raise his hand when he prostrated himself; he rather raised them when he uttered the takbir (Allah is most great) before bowing until his prayer is finished.

I was a small boy and I did not understand the prayer of my father. So Wail bin Alqamah reported Wail bin Hujr as saying: I offered prayer along with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He used to raise his hands when he pronounced the takbir (Allah is most great), then pulled his garment around him, then placed his right hand on his left, and entered his hands in his garment. When he was about to bow he took his hands out of his garment, and then raised them. And when he raised his head after bowing, he raised his hands. He then prostrated himself and placed his face (forehead on the ground) between his hands. And when he raised his head after prostration, he also raised his hands until he finished his prayer. Muhammad (a narrator) said: I mentioned it to al-Hasan bin Abu al-Hasan who said: This is how the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم offered prayer; some did it and others abandoned it. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Hammam from Ibn Juhadah, but he did not mention the raising of hands after he raised his head at the end of the prostration.

I purposely looked at the prayer of the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, how he offered it. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم stood up, faced the direction of the qiblah and uttered the takbir (Allah is most great) and then raised his hands in front of his ears, then placed his right hand on his left (catching each other). When he was about to bow, he raised them in the same manner. He then placed his hands on his knees. When he raised his head after bowing, he raised them in the like manner. When he prostrated himself he placed his forehead between his hands. He then sat down and spread his left foot and placed his left hand on his left thigh, and kept his right elbow aloof from his right thigh. He closed his two fingers and made a circle (with the fingers). I (Asim ibn Kulayb) saw him (Bishr Ibn al-Mufaddal) say in this manner. Bishr made the circle with the thumb and the middle finger and pointed with the forefinger.

Abu Humaid al-Saeedi رضی اللہ عنہ once told a company of ten of the companions of the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ; Abu Qatadah رضی اللہ عنہ was one of them: I am one among you who is more informed of the way the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم prayed. They said: Why, By Allah, you did not follow him more than us, nor did you remain in his company longer than us? He said: Yes. They said: Then describe (how the Prophet prayed). He said: When the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم stood up to pray, he raised his hands so as to bring them opposite his shoulders, and uttered the takbir (Allah is the most great), until every bone rested in its place properly: then re recited (some verses from the Quran); then he uttered the takbir (Allah is most great), raising his hands so as to bring them opposite his shoulders; then he bowed; placing the palms of his hands on his knees and keeping himself straight, neither raising nor lowering his head; then raised his head saying: “Allah listens to him who praise Him”; then raised his hands so as to bring them exactly opposite to his shoulders; then uttered: “Allah is most great”; then lowered himself to the ground (in prostration), keeping his arms away from his sides; then raised his head, bent his left foot and sat on it, and opened the toes when he prostrated: then he uttered: “Allah is most great”; then raised his head, bent his left foot and sat on it so that every bone returned to its place properly; then he did the same in the second (rak’ah). At the end of the two Rak’ahs he stood up and uttered the takbir (Allah is most great), raising his hands so as to bring them opposite to his shoulders; then he bowed, placing the palms of his hands on his knees and keeping himself straight, neither raising or lowering his head: then raised his head saying: “Allah listens to him who praises Him”; then raised his hands so as to bring them exactly opposite his shoulders; then uttered: “Allah is most great”; then lowered himself to the ground (in prostration), keeping his arms away from his sides; then raised his head, bent his left foot and sat on it, and opened the toes when he prostrated himself; then he prostrated; then uttered: “Allah is most great”; then raised his head, bent his left foot and sat on it so that every bone returned to its place properly; then he did the same in the second (rak’ah). At the end of two rak’ahs he stood up and uttered the takbir (Allah is most great), raising his hands so as to bring them opposite to his shoulders in the way he had uttered the Takbir (Allah is most great) at the beginning of the prayer; then he did that in the remainder of his prayer; and after prostration which if followed by the taslim (salutation) he out his left foot and sat on his left hip. They said: You have spoken the truth. This is how he صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم used to pray.

I (once) attended the meeting of the companions of the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. They began to discuss his prayer. Abu Humaid رضی اللہ عنہ then narrated a part of the same tradition and said: When he bowed he clutched his knees with his palms, and he opened his fingers; then he bent his back without raising his upwards, and did not turn his face (on any side). When he sat at the end of two rak’ahs he sat on the sole of his left foot and raised the right, and after the fourth he placed his left hip on the ground and spread out both his feet one side.

He was present in a meeting which was attended by his father who was one of the companions of the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, Abu Hurairah, Abu Humaid al-Saeedi and Abu Usaid. He narrated the same tradition with a slight addition or deletion. He said: He then raised his head after bowing and uttered: ”Allah listens to him who praises Him, to Thee, our Lord, be the praise, ” and raised his hands. He then uttered: “Allah is most great”; then he prostrated himself and rested on his palms, knees, and the end of his toes while prostrating: then he uttered the Takbir (Allah is most great), and sat down on his hips and raised his other foot; then he uttered the takbir and prostrated himself; then he uttered takbir and stood up, but did not sit on his hips. He (the narrator) then narrated the rest of the tradition. He further said: Then he sat down at the end of two rak’ahs; when he was about to stand after two rak’ahs, he uttered the takbir; then he offered the last two rak’ahs of the prayer.

Abu Humaid, Abu Usaid, Sahl. B Saad and Muhammad bin Maslamah (once) got together and discussed how the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم used to offer his prayer. Abu Humaid said: I am more informed than any of you regarding the prayer offered by the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. Then he mentioned a part of it, and said: He then bowed and placed his hands upon his knees as if he caught hold of them; and bent them, keeping (his arms) away from his sides. He them prostrated himself and placed his nose and forehead (on the ground); and kept his arms away from his side, and placed his palms (on the ground opposite his shoulders; he then raised his head that every bone returned to its proper place; (he then prostrated twice) until he finished this prostrations). Then he sat down and spread out his left foot, putting forward the front of his right foot towards the qiblah placing the palm of his right hand on his right knee, and the palm of his left hand on his left knee, and he pointed with his finger. Abu Dawud said: 'Utbah bin Abi Hakim reported this hadith from'Abdullah bin 'Eisa, from Al-Abbas bin Sahl and he did not mention the sitting on the buttocks (At-Tawarruk). And Al-Hassan bin Al-Hurr mention the sitting similar to the hadith of Fulaih and 'Utbah.

When he prostrated, his knees touched the ground before his palms touched it; when he prostrated himself, he placed his forehead on the ground between his palms, and kept his armpits away from his sides. Hajjaj reported from Hammam and Shaqiq narrated a similar tradition to us from Asim bin Kulaib on the authority of his father from the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. And another version narrated by one of them has-and I think in all probability that this version has been narrated by Muhammad bin Juhadah-when he got up (after prostration), he got up with his knees and gave his weight on his thighs.

Abdullah Ibn Tawus prayed at my side in the mosque of al-Khayf. When he made the first prostration, he raised his head after it and raised his hands opposite to his face. This came as something strange for me. I, therefore, said it to Wuhayb ibn Khalid. Then Wuhayb ibn Khalid said to him: You are doing a thing that I did not see anyone do. Ibn Tawus then replied: I saw my father doing it, and my father said: I saw Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما doing it. I do not know but he said: The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم used to do it.
