عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَت : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
يَفْتَتِحُ الصَّلَاةَ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ وَالْقِرَاءَةِ بِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ، وَكَانَ إِذَا رَكَعَ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهُ " ، وَقَالَ يَحْيَى : " يُشْخِصُ رَأْسَهُ وَلَمْ يُصَوِّبْهُ ، وَلَكِنْ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ ، وَكَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ لَمْ يَسْجُدْ حَتَّى يَسْتَوِيَ قَائِمًا ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ لَمْ يَسْجُدْ حَتَّى يَسْتَوِيَ جَالِسًا " ، قَالَتْ : " وَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ التَّحِيَّةَ ، وَكَانَ يَنْهَى عَنْ عَقِبِ الشَّيْطَانِ ، وَكَانَ يَفَْرِشُ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى ، وَيَنْصِبُ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى ، وَكَانَ يَنْهَى أَنْ يَفْتَرِشَ أَحَدُنَا ذِرَاعَيْهِ كَالْكَلْبِ ، وَكَانَ يَخْتِمُ الصَّلَاةَ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ " ، قَالَ يَحْيَى : " وَكَانَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَفْتَرِشَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ افْتِرَاشَ السَّبُعِ " . .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would begin the prayer with Takbeer and would start the recitation with Surah Al-Fatiha. When he would go into Ruku, he would neither raise his head high nor lower it, but would keep it in between. When he would rise from Ruku, he would not perform the second prostration until he sat up straight. In every two rak'ahs, he would recite "At-Tahiyyat". He forbade keeping the heels upright like Satan and would spread his left foot and keep his right foot upright. He also forbade any of us from spreading our arms like a dog, and he would end the prayer with Salam.
