أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو نَصْرٍ الْخَفَّافُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي أُسَامَةَ، أَحَدَّثَكُمْ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ الْمَسْجِدَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسٌ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلَّى، ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: " وَعَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ، ارْجِعْ فَصَلِّ فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ " فَرَجَعَ فَصَلَّى، ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ: فَعَلِّمْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: " إِذَا قُمْتَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَأَسْبِغِ الْوُضُوءَ وَاسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَكَبِّرْ، ثُمَّ اقْرَأْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، ثُمَّ ارْكَعْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ رَاكِعًا، ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ حَتَّى تَعْتَدِلَ قَائِمًا، ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ سَاجِدًا، ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ ⦗١٨٢⦘ قَاعِدًا، ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ سَاجِدًا، ثُمَّ اقْعُدْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ قَاعِدًا، ثُمَّ افْعَلْ كَذَلِكَ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ وَسَجْدَةٍ " فَأَقَرَّ بِهِ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ وَقَالَ: نَعَمْ كَذَا قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ وَرِوَايَتُهُ كَذَلِكَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ، عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ وَمِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ، عَنِ ابْنِ نُمَيْرٍ.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A man entered the mosque while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting in a corner of the mosque. The man prayed, then came to him and greeted him with salam, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Wa 'alayka al-salam (and upon you be peace); go and pray, for you have not prayed." He went back and prayed again, then came and greeted the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with salam, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said the same thing again. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said the same thing to him the third time, he said: "O Messenger of Allah! Teach me." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you stand for prayer, perform ablution well, then face the qiblah and say the takbir; then recite whatever of the Qur'an is easy for you; then bow with complete calm; then raise your head from bowing until you stand straight; then prostrate; then rise from prostration and sit straight; then make the second prostration with utmost calm; then sit up straight with utmost calm; then do the same in every rak'ah."
Abu Usamah affirmed it and said: "Yes."

وَالصَّحِيحُ رِوَايَةُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ أَبِي قُدَامَةَ، وَيُوسُفَ بْنِ مُوسَى، عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ: " ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ سَاجِدًا، ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ حَتَّى تَسْتَوِيَ وَتَطْمَئِنَّ جَالِسًا، ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ سَاجِدًا، ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ حَتَّى تَسْتَوِيَ قَائِمًا، ثُمَّ افْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فِي صَلَاتِكَ كُلِّهَا " أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثنا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ،.
It is narrated from Abu Usamah (may Allah have mercy on him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then prostrate with calm, then raise your head from prostration and sit with calm, then make the second prostration with calm, then raise your head from prostration and stand up straight. Complete your prayer in this way."

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الثَّقَفِيُّ، ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ حَمَّادُ بْنُ أُسَامَةَ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ وَقَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ: " ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ حَتَّى تَسْتَوِيَ قَائِمًا " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ، عَلَى لَفْظِ حَدِيثِ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مُوسَى، وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ، وَابْنِ نُمَيْرٍ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ أَحَالَهُ عَلَى رِوَايَةِ يَحْيَى الْقَطَّانِ، وَلَمْ يَسُقِ الْمَتْنَ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِي رِوَايَةِ يَحْيَى السُّجُودَ الثَّانِي وَلَا مَا بَعْدَهُ مِنَ الْقُعُودِ أَوِ الْقِيَامِ، وَالْقِيَامُ أَشْبَهُ بِمَا سِيقَ الْخَبَرُ لِأَجْلِهِ مِنْ عَدِّ الْأَرْكَانِ دُونَ السُّنَنِ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
(a) A similar narration is reported through another chain. At its end it says that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then raise your head (from the second prostration) until you stand up straight."
(b) Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) has also recorded this narration in his Sahih.
In the narration of Yahya there is no mention of the second prostration, nor of the sitting for rest after the second prostration, nor is the standing mentioned.
(c) And the standing is more fitting, because the pillars (arkan) are being enumerated, not the sunnahs. (And Allah knows best.)

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ شَرِيكٍ، ثنا يَحْيَى، ثنا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو ⦗١٨٣⦘ بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ يُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَقُومُ، ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَرْكَعُ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: " سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ " حِينَ يَرْفَعُ صُلْبَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ: " رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ " ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَهْوِي سَاجِدًا، ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَسْجُدُ، ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ كُلِّهَا حَتَّى يَقْضِيَهَا وَيُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَقُومُ مِنَ الثِّنْتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْجُلُوسِ " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ، وَأَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، وَعُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ.
Abu Bakr bin Abd al-Rahman bin al-Harith bin Hisham said that he heard Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) say: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood for prayer he would say the takbir, then say the takbir when bowing, then while rising from bowing he would say 'Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah' (Allah has heard the one who praised Him), then when he stood up straight he would say 'Rabbana wa laka al-hamd' (Our Lord, and to You belongs all praise), then he would say the takbir when going down into prostration, then when raising his head from prostration he would also say 'Allahu akbar' (Allah is the Greatest). Then when making the second prostration he would also say the takbir, then when raising his head from the second prostration he would also say the takbir. He would perform the whole prayer in this way. Likewise, when rising from the tashahhud after two rak'ahs, he would also say 'Allahu akbar' (Allah is the Greatest).
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، ثنا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ الْبَرَّادِ قَالَ: أَتَيْنَا عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو الْأَنْصَارِيَّ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَامَ بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا فِي مَسْجِدٍ فَكَبَّرَ، فَلَمَّا " رَكَعَ وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَجَعَلَ أَصَابِعَهُ أَسْفَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَجَافَى بَيْنَ مِرْفَقَيْهِ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، فَقَامَ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ وَسَجَدَ فَوَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ، ثُمَّ جَافَى بِمِرْفَقَيْهِ عَنْ جَنْبَيْهِ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَجَلَسَ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ فَفَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا، ثُمَّ صَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ الرَّكْعَةِ يُصَلِّي صَلَاتَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَكَذَا رَأَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي ".
It is narrated from Salim al-Barrad: We came to Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud Uqbah bin Amr al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Describe to us the manner of the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He stood in front of us in the mosque and said the takbir. Then when he bowed, he placed his hands on his knees and his fingers a little below them, and kept his elbows spread apart, until every limb settled in its place. Then he said 'Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah', then stood up until every limb settled in its place. Then he said the takbir and prostrated, placed his palms on the ground and kept his elbows away from his sides, until every limb settled in its place. Then he raised his head and sat until every limb was level in its place. Then he made the second prostration in the same way, and then prayed four rak'ahs in the same way. Then he said: "This is how we saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) praying."
