Hadith 888

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 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.
