Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying the takbeer when going down, rising up, standing, and sitting, and turning for salam to the right and left in such a way that the whiteness of his cheeks would become visible. Then I saw Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) doing the same.
