Hadith 436

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) once entered the mosque. At that time, a man came and offered prayer, then he greeted the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) returned the greeting and said: "Go back and pray, for you have not prayed." So he went back and prayed as he had prayed before, then returned and greeted the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Go back and pray, for you have not prayed." (This happened) three times. Then he said, "By Him Who has sent you with the truth, I cannot pray better than this, so please teach me." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When you stand for prayer, say the takbeer, then recite whatever you know from the Qur'an, then bow until you are at ease in bowing, then rise until you are standing straight, then prostrate until you are at ease in prostration, then raise your head until you are sitting at ease, and do this throughout your prayer."
