عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ اللَّيْثِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ يَوْمًا: أَلَا أُرِيكُمْ كَيْفَ كَانَتْ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: وَذَلِكَ فِي غَيْرِ حِينِ صَلَاةٍ، فَقَامَ فَأَمْكَنَ الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَمْكَنَ الرُّكُوعَ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَانْتَصَبَ قَائِمًا هُنَيَّةً ثُمَّ سَجَدَ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَيُكَبِّرُ فِي الْجُلُوسِ، ثُمَّ انْتَظَرَ هُنَيَّةً ثُمَّ سَجَدَ، قَالَ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ: فَصَلَّى صَلَاةً كَصَلَاةِ شَيْخِنَا هَٰذَا يَعْنِي عَمْرَو بْنَ سَلَمَةَ الْجَرْمِيَّ وَكَانَ يَوْمُعَ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ أَيُّوبُ: فَرَأَيْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ سَلَمَةَ يَصْنَعُ شَيْئًا لَا أَرَاكُمْ تَصْنَعُونَهُ، كَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ اسْتَوَى قَاعِدًا ثُمَّ قَامَ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى وَالثَّالِثَةِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Malik bin Huwairith Al-Laithi (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day he said to his companions: "Shall I not show you the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), how it was?" Although it was not the time for prayer. Then (he started the prayer), he stood and performed a good standing, then he bowed and performed a good bowing, then (after bowing) he raised his head and stood straight for a while, then he prostrated, then (after prostration) he raised his head, he used to say takbeer while sitting, then after waiting a little, he performed the (second) prostration. Abu Qilabah says: He led us in prayer just as our Shaykh Sayyiduna Amr bin Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to pray, and he (Amr bin Salamah) used to lead the prayer in the time of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Ayyub says: I saw Sayyiduna Amr bin Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) doing something which you do not do, and that is: in the first and third rak‘ah, when he raised his head after the two prostrations, he would sit straight and then stand up for the next rak‘ah.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In the last sentence of this hadith, there is mention of the Jalsah al-Istirahah, that is, after the two prostrations (sajdahs) of the first and third rak‘ah, one should sit for a short while and then stand up for the second and fourth rak‘ah. At present, most worshippers have abandoned this practice. Furthermore, these ahadith are teaching moderation and tranquility (i‘tidal and itmi’nan).
