(أَدَاءُ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى طَرِيقَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ)
(Performing prayer according to the way of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him)
Hadith 683
وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «صَلُّوا كَمَا رَأَيْتُمُونِي أُصَلِّي فَإِذا حضرت الصَّلَاة فليؤذن لكم أحدكُم وليؤمكم أكبركم»
He also told of God's Messenger saying to them, “Pray as you have seen me prayer, and when the time for prayer comes one of you should call the adhan for you and the oldest of you should act as imam.”* * In this tradition the plural is used throughout; in the preceding the dual is used, two persons being referred to. (Bukhari and Muslim.)
