حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، وَابْنُ رَافِعٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ مَانُوسٍ ، قَالَ :سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ، يَقُولُ : مَا صَلَّيْتُ وَرَاءَ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَشْبَهَ صَلَاةً بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ هَذَا الْفَتَى ، يَعْنِي عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، قَالَ : " فَحَزَرْنَا فِي رُكُوعِهِ عَشْرَ تَسْبِيحَاتٍ ، وَفِي سُجُودِهِ عَشْرَ تَسْبِيحَاتٍ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ : قُلْتُ لَهُ : مَانُوسٌ أَوْ مَابُوسٌ ، قَالَ : أَمَّا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ فَيَقُولُ : مَابُوسٌ ، وَأَمَّا حِفْظِي : فَمَانُوسٌ ، وَهَذَا لَفْظُ ابْنِ رَافِعٍ . قَالَ أَحْمَدُ :عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ .
Narrated Anas ibn Malik: I did not offer behind anyone after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a prayer like the prayer offered by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than this youth, i. e. Umar ibn Abdul Aziz. We estimated reciting glorification ten times in his bowing, and in his prostration ten times. Abu Dawud said: Ahmad bin Salih said: I asked him (Abdullah) whether the name Manus is correct of Mabus. He replied: Abd al-Razzaq used to say Mabus, but I remember Manus (i. e. the narrator Wahb bin Manus). These are the words of Ibn Rafi. It has also been narrated by Ahmad from Saeed bin Jubair on the authority of Anas bin Malik.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
888. Commentary:
Shaykh Shawkani rahimahullah states that the maximum number (of repetitions) in bowing (ruku) and prostration (sujud) is not established by any authentic hadith. According to the length of the prayer, one may recite the tasbihat as many times as desired, without any specific limit or assistance.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
825. Commentary: From this hadith, it is clearly understood that the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was light in terms of recitation, but in terms of the performance of bowing (ruku‘), prostration (sujud), and other pillars, it was tranquil, complete, and of the highest standard.

Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
According to Qadi Iyad rahimahullah,
(correct)
If a word was not read by the transmitter of the manuscript of Muslim rahimahullah,
then he wrote in its place "an kaza wa kaza" ("from so-and-so"), "anzur" ("see"),
meaning:
Investigate this word,
and then the meaning and intent of "an kaza wa kaza" was explained: "that they will come over the people."
If the narrations of other Companions radi Allahu anhum are taken into consideration,
then the purpose is that the people will be on a mound,
and your ummah will be on a mound higher than them.

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
(1)
نَخْرُجُ عَلَى النَّاسِ:
We will go out to the people to invite them to this creed.

(2)
زَعَمَ:
This is used in the meaning of "قَالَ" (he said), and that is what is meant here.
نَعَتَ:
He described.

(3)
عِيدَانُ السَّمَاسِمِ:
‘Eidan’ is the plural of ‘عود’ (wood), referring to sticks.
‘Samasim’ is the plural of ‘سمسم’ (sesame), and this refers to sesame.
Its plants are uprooted and left in the sun so that the sesame seeds can be extracted from them,
and by lying in the sun, they become blackened,
and appear as if they are burnt.

(4)
قَرَاطِيسُ:
The plural of ‘قِرْطَاسٌ’ (qirtas), meaning paper.

Benefits and Issues:
(1)
According to the Khawarij, those who enter Hell will never come out of it,
and the one who commits a major sin is a disbeliever,
and is destined for Hell.
And this belief
is contrary to authentic ahadith,
and the two verses that have been presented here
are not about sinning Muslims,
rather, they pertain to disbelievers and polytheists.

(2)
It cannot be imagined about any Companion (radi Allahu anhu)
that he would attribute a false statement to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam),
or attribute to him something he did not say.
Based on this belief, all these people
abandoned the erroneous creed of the Khawarij,
except for one man who persisted.

(3)
Abu Nu‘aym (rahimahullah)
is the kunyah of Fadl ibn Dukayn (rahimahullah),
and in the case of narrating by meaning (riwayah bil-ma‘na), the cautious approach is
to say "as he said" (kama qala) in such instances.

Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
1:
By “the lightest prayer,” it is meant that he would not recite long passages (qira’ah),
similarly, he would also avoid lengthy supplications (du‘a).
And by “the most complete prayer,” it means that he would perform all the pillars (arkan), sunnahs, and recommended acts (mustahabbat) of the prayer with excellence and composure.
