(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَاجِشُونُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ , وَالْمَاجِشُونُ ، عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ ، عَنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا كَبَّرَ ، اسْتَفْتَحَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ حَنِيفًا مُسْلِمًا ، وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ، إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ، لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ ، وَبِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، وقَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ : وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، اللَّهُمَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، أَنْتَ رَبِّي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ ، ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي ، وَاعْتَرَفْتُ بِذَنْبِي ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي جَمِيعًا ، لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، وَاهْدِنِي لِأَحْسَنِ الْأَخْلَاقِ ، لَا يَهْدِي لِأَحْسَنِهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، وَاصْرِفْ عَنِّي سَيِّئَهَا ، لَا يَصْرِفُ عَنِّي سَيِّئَهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، تَبَارَكْتَ وَتَعَالَيْتَ ، أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ " ، وَكَانَ إِذَا رَكَعَ ، قَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ رَكَعْتُ ، وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ ، وَلَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ ، خَشَعَ لَكَ سَمْعِي وَبَصَرِي وَمُخِّي وَعِظَامِي وَعَصَبِي " ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ ، قَالَ : " سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ، رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ مِلْءَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ، وَمِلْءَ مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدُ " ، وَإِذَا سَجَدَ ، قَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ سَجَدْتُ ، وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ ، وَلَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ ، سَجَدَ وَجْهِي لِلَّذِي خَلَقَهُ فَصَوَّرَهُ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَهُ ، فَشَقَّ سَمْعَهُ وَبَصَرَهُ ، فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ " ، فَإِذَا سَلَّمَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ ، قَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ ، وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ ، وَمَا أَسْرَفْتُ ، وَمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي ، أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ ، وَأَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say the opening takbeer (takbeer-e-tahreema), after reciting the thana, he would say: "I have turned my face, being completely devoted and as a Muslim, towards Him who created the heavens and the earth, and I am not among the polytheists. My prayer, my sacrifice, my life, and my death are all for Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. He has no partner. I have been commanded this, and I am among the Muslims. O Allah! You are the true King, there is no deity except You. You are my Lord and I am Your servant. I have wronged myself and I confess my sins, so forgive all my sins, for none forgives sins except You. Guide me to the best of character, for none guides to the best of character except You, and keep me away from bad character, for none can keep me away from it except You. You are Most Blessed and Most Exalted. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance."

When he would go into ruku (bowing), he would say: "O Allah! I have bowed for You, I have believed in You, I have submitted to You. My hearing, my sight, my mind, my bones, and my tendons are all humbled before You."

When he would rise from ruku, after saying «سمع الله لمن حمده» and «ربنا ولك الحمد», he would say: "All praise is for You, which fills the heavens, the earth, and whatever is between them, and whatever else You will to fill."

When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would go into sajdah (prostration), he would say: "O Allah! I have prostrated for You, I have believed in You, I have submitted to You. My face has prostrated before the One who created it and fashioned it well, and gave it hearing and sight. Blessed is Allah, the Best of Creators."

And when he would turn for salam (ending the prayer), he would say: "O Allah! Forgive all my past and future sins, my hidden and apparent sins, and whatever I have transgressed, and whatever You know better than me. You are the First and the Last, and there is no deity except You."
