اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ ، قال : حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، قال : حَدَّثَنِي الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قال : صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَوْمًا ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَقَالَ : " يَا فُلَانُ أَلَا تُحَسِّنُ صَلَاتَكَ أَلَا يَنْظُرُ الْمُصَلِّي كَيْفَ يُصَلِّي لِنَفْسِهِ إِنِّي أُبْصِرُ مِنْ وَرَائِي كَمَا أُبْصِرُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ " .
´It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:` "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed one day then left and said: '0 so-and-so, why don't you improve your prayer? Shouldn't the one who is praying reflection how he prays it for himself? I can see behind me just as I can see in front of me."'

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
873. Commentary: It is possible that, according to the author, this is the same person who performed bowing (ruku‘) before joining the row (saff); otherwise, this hadith has no connection with the chapter, unless it is said that performing bowing before joining the row is contrary to the excellence of prayer, and in this hadith, you have commanded to make the prayer excellent. (For the remaining discussion of this hadith, see hadith: 814)
