My father and I went to Abu Barza-al-Aslami to ask him about the stated times for the prayers. He
replied, "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to offer the Zuhr prayer when the sun just declined from its highest
position at noon; the `Asr at a time when if a man went to the farthest place in Medina (after praying)
he would find the sun still hot (bright). (The sub narrator said: I have forgotten what Abu Barza said
about the Maghrib prayer). The Prophet (ﷺ) never found any harm in delaying the `Isha' prayer to the first
third of the night and he never liked to sleep before it and to talk after it. He used to offer the morning
prayer at a time when after finishing it one could recognize the person sitting beside him and used to
recite between 60 to 100 verses in one or both the rak`at."

Chapter 104: The recitation of the Qur'an in the Fajr prayer - كتاب الأذان
Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ فِي كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ يُقْرَأُ، فَمَا أَسْمَعَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَسْمَعْنَاكُمْ، وَمَا أَخْفَى عَنَّا أَخْفَيْنَا عَنْكُمْ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَزِدْ عَلَى أُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ أَجْزَأَتْ، وَإِنْ زِدْتَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ.
The Qur'an is recited in every prayer and in those prayers in which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) recited aloud for
us, we recite aloud in the same prayers for you; and the prayers in which the Prophet (ﷺ) recited quietly,
we recite quietly. If you recite "Al-Fatiha" only it is sufficient but if you recite something else in
addition, it is better.
The Prophet (ﷺ) set out with the intention of going to Suq `Ukaz (market of `Ukaz) along with some of his
companions. At the same time, a barrier was put between the devils and the news of heaven. Fire
commenced to be thrown at them. The Devils went to their people, who asked them, "What is wrong
with you?" They said, "A barrier has been placed between us and the news of heaven. And fire has
been thrown at us." They said, "The thing which has put a barrier between you and the news of heaven
must be something which has happened recently. Go eastward and westward and see what has put a
barrier between you and the news of heaven." Those who went towards Tuhama came across the
Prophet at a place called Nakhla and it was on the way to Suq `Ukaz and the Prophet (ﷺ) was offering the
Fajr prayer with his companions. When they heard the Qur'an they listened to it and said, "By Allah,
this is the thing which has put a barrier between us and the news of heaven." They went to their people
and said, "O our people; verily we have heard a wonderful recital (Qur'an) which shows the true path;
we believed in it and would not ascribe partners to our Lord." Allah revealed the following verses to
his Prophet (Sura 'Jinn') (72): "Say: It has been revealed to me." And what was revealed to him was
the conversation of the Jinns.

The Prophet (ﷺ) recited aloud in the prayers in which he was ordered to do so and quietly in the prayers in
which he was ordered to do so. "And your Lord is not forgetful." "Verily there was a good example
for you in the ways of the Prophet."

Chapter 106: To recite two Surah in one Rak'a and to recite the last verses of some Surah, or to elite the Surah in their reverse order, or to recite the beginning of a Surah - كتاب الأذان
A man came to Ibn Mas`ud and said, "I recited the Mufassal (Suras) at night in one rak`a." Ibn
Mas`ud said, "This recitation is (too quick) like the recitation of poetry. I know the identical Suras
which the Prophet (ﷺ) used to recite in pairs." Ibn Mas`ud then mentioned 20 Mufassal Suras including
two Suras from the family of (i.e. those verses which begin with) Ha, Meem [??] (which the Prophet (ﷺ)
used to recite) in each rak`a.
My father said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) uses to recite Al-Fatiha followed by another Sura in the first two rak`at
of the prayer and used to recite only Al-Fatiha in the last two rak`at of the Zuhr prayer. Sometimes a
verse or so was audible and he used to prolong the first rak`a more than the second and used to do the
same in the `Asr and Fajr prayers."

We said to Khabbab "Did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to recite in Zuhr and `Asr prayers?" He replied in the
affirmative. We said, "How did you come to know about it?" He said, "By the movement of his
beard."
My father said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to recite Al-Fatiha along with another Sura in the first two rak`at of
the Zuhr and `Asr prayers. A verse or so was audible at times and he used to prolong the first rak`a."

" زَادَكَ اللَّهُ حِرْصًا وَلاَ تَعُدْ ".
I reached the Prophet (ﷺ) in the mosque while he was bowing in prayer and I too bowed before joining the
row mentioned it to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said to me, "May Allah increase your love for the good. But do
not repeat it again (bowing in that way).

I offered the prayer with `Ali in Basra and he made us remember the prayer which we used to pray
with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). `Ali said Takbir on each rising and bowing.
When Abu Huraira led us in prayer he used to say Takbir on each bowing and rising. On the
completion of the prayer he used to say, "My prayer is more similar to the prayer of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
than that of anyone of you."

`Imran bin Husain and I offered the prayer behind `Ali bin Abi Talib. When `Ali prostrated, he said
the Takbir, when he raised his head, he said the Takbir and when he got up for the third rak`a he said
the Takbir. On completion of the prayer `Imran took my hand and said, "This (i.e. `Ali) made me
remember the prayer of Muhammad" Or he said, "He led us in a prayer like that of Muhammad."

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلاً عِنْدَ الْمَقَامِ يُكَبِّرُ فِي كُلِّ خَفْضٍ وَرَفْعٍ وَإِذَا قَامَ وَإِذَا وَضَعَ، فَأَخْبَرْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ أَوَلَيْسَ تِلْكَ صَلاَةَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لاَ أُمَّ لَكَ.
I saw a person praying at Muqam-Ibrahim (the place of Abraham by the Ka`ba) and he was saying
Takbir on every bowing, rising, standing and sitting. I asked Ibn `Abbas (about this prayer). He
admonished me saying: "Isn't that the prayer of the Prophet?"
I prayed behind a Sheikh at Mecca and he said twenty two Takbirs (during the prayer). I told Ibn
`Abbas that he (i.e. that Sheikh) was foolish. Ibn `Abbas admonished me and said, "This is the
tradition of Abul-Qasim."
Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood for the prayer,
he said Takbir on starting the prayer and then on bowing. On rising from bowing he said, "Sami`a llahu
liman hamidah," and then while standing straight he used to say, "Rabbana laka-l hamd" (Al-
Laith said, "(The Prophet (ﷺ) said), 'Wa laka l-hamd'." He used to say Takbir on prostrating and on raising
his head from prostration; again he would Say Takbir on prostrating and raising his head. He would
then do the same in the whole of the prayer till it was completed. On rising from the second rak`a
(after sitting for at-Tahiyyat), he used to say Takbir.
I offered prayer beside my father and approximated both my hands and placed them in between the
knees. My father told me not to do so and said, "We used to do the same but we were forbidden (by
the Prophet) to do it and were ordered to place the hands on the knees."
Hudhaifa saw a person who was not performing the bowing and prostration perfectly. He said to him,
"You have not prayed and if you should die you would die on a religion other than that of
Muhammad."

The bowing, the prostration the sitting in between the two prostrations and the standing after the
bowing of the Prophet (ﷺ) but not qiyam (standing in the prayer) and qu`ud (sitting in the prayer) used to
be approximately equal (in duration).

Once the Prophet (ﷺ) entered the mosque, a man came in, offered the prayer and greeted the Prophet. The
Prophet returned his greeting and said to him, "Go back and pray again for you have not prayed." The
man offered the prayer again, came back and greeted the Prophet. He said to him thrice, "Go back and
pray again for you have not prayed." The man said, "By Him Who has sent you with the truth! I do
not know a better way of praying. Kindly teach Me how to pray." He said, "When you stand for the
prayer, say Takbir and then recite from the Qur'an what you know and then bow with calmness till
you feel at ease, then rise from bowing till you stand straight. Afterwards prostrate calmly till you feel
at ease and then raise (your head) and sit with Calmness till you feel at ease and then prostrate with
calmness till you feel at ease in prostration and do the same in the whole of your prayer."

When the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Sami`a l-lahu liman hamidah," (Allah heard those who sent praises to Him),
he would say, "Rabbana wa laka l-hamd." On bowing and raising his head from it the Prophet (ﷺ) used to
say Takbir. He also used to say Takbir on rising after the two prostrations. (See Hadith No. 656).
