Hadith 1682
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا عَفَّانُ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الطَّفَاوِيُّ ثَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَأَحْسَنَ الثَّنَاءَ عَلَيْهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَوْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنْ قَدْرِ رُكُوعِهِ وَسُجُودِهِ، فَقَالَ: قَدْرَ مَا يَقُولُ الرَّجُلُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ثَلَاثًا
A man from Banu Tamim narrates from his father or uncle, who says: I performed prayer following the leadership of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. (Upon hearing this) we asked him about the duration of the bowing (ruku) and prostration (sujud) of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. He said: It was such that a person could say three times: Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi.
Hadith 1683
(وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ عَنِ السَّعْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ: رَمَقْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَكَانَ يَمْكُثُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ وَسُجُودِهِ قَدْرَ مَا يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ثَلَاثًا
(Hadith with another chain) Their father narrates from their uncle, who says: I closely observed the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, in prayer. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would remain in bowing and prostration for as long as it takes a person to say this phrase three times: Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi.
Hadith 1684
عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَشْبَهَ صَلَاةً بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ هَٰذَا الْغُلَامِ يَعْنِي عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، قَالَ: فَحَزَرْنَا فِي الرُّكُوعِ عَشْرَ تَسْبِيحَاتٍ وَفِي السُّجُودِ عَشْرَ تَسْبِيحَاتٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I have not seen anyone who resembled the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) more in prayer than this young man (i.e., Umar bin Abdul Aziz). Saeed bin Jubair says: We estimated that this young man recited the tasbihat ten times each in his bowing and prostration.
Hadith 1685
عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَتْ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا صَلَّى فَرَكَعَ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ، وَإِذَا سَجَدَ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ، وَبَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ قَرِيبًا مِنَ السَّوَاءِ
Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed prayer, his bowing (ruku‘), standing up straight after bowing, prostration (sajdah), and sitting between the two prostrations were all nearly equal in duration. (Sahih Bukhari: 792, Sahih Muslim: 471)
Hadith 1686
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ الْأُمَوِيُّ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ قَالَ ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَالِيَةِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((لِكُلِّ سُورَةٍ حَظُّهَا مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ أَعْطُوا كُلَّ سُورَةٍ حَظَّهَا مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ))) قَالَ: ثُمَّ لَقِيتُهُ بَعْدُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ بِالسُّوَرِ، فَتَعْرِفُ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ هَٰذَا الْحَدِيثَ؟ قَالَ: إِنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُهُ وَأَعْرِفُ مُنْذُ كَمْ حَدَّثَنِيهِ، حَدَّثَنِي مُنْذُ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً
A companion of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every Surah has its portion from bowing (ruku) and prostration (sajdah). And in another narration: Give every Surah its portion from bowing and prostration. ‘Asim says: Later I met Abu Al-‘Aliyah and said to him: Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to recite several Surahs in one rak‘ah; do you know who narrated this hadith to you? He said: There is no doubt that I know it, and I even know how long it has been since he narrated this hadith to me; he narrated this hadith to me fifty years ago.
Hadith 1687
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا رَكَعَ لَوْ وَضِعَ قَدْحٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ لَمْ يُهْرَقْ
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ruku‘, he would be so straight that if a bowl of water were placed on his back, it would not spill.
