Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
825. Commentary: From this hadith, it is clearly understood that the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was light in terms of recitation, but in terms of the performance of bowing (ruku‘), prostration (sujud), and other pillars, it was tranquil, complete, and of the highest standard.

1:
By “the lightest prayer,” it is meant that he would not recite long passages (qira’ah),
similarly, he would also avoid lengthy supplications (du‘a).
And by “the most complete prayer,” it means that he would perform all the pillars (arkan), sunnahs, and recommended acts (mustahabbat) of the prayer with excellence and composure.

888. Commentary:
Shaykh Shawkani rahimahullah states that the maximum number (of repetitions) in bowing (ruku) and prostration (sujud) is not established by any authentic hadith. According to the length of the prayer, one may recite the tasbihat as many times as desired, without any specific limit or assistance.
