It was narrated from Talhah bin Yahya that his paternal uncle said: "I was with Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan when the Mu'adhdhin came to him to call him to prayer. Mu'awiyah said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: "The Mu'adhdhin will be the people with the longest necks on the Day of Resurrection."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ فَجَاءَهُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ يَدْعُوهُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ الْمُؤَذِّنُونَ أَطْوَلُ النَّاسِ أَعْنَاقًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.

It was narrated from Al-A'mash, from Abu Sufyan, that Jabir said: "I heard the Prophet (s.a.w) say: 'When the Shaitan hears the call to prayer, he goes away as far as Ar-Rawha'." Sulaiman (Al-A'mash) said: "I asked him about Ar-Rawha', and he said: 'It is thirty-six miles away from Al-Madinah."'

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ النِّدَاءَ بِالصَّلَاةِ ذَهَبَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ مَكَانَ الرَّوْحَاءِ. قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ الرَّوْحَاءِ؟ فَقَالَ هِيَ مِنْ الْمَدِينَةِ سِتَّةٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ مِيلًا.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "When the Shaitan hears the call to prayer, he runs away breaking wind so that he will not hear the sound. When it ends, he comes back and whispers (distractions), then when he hears the Iqamah he runs away so that he will not hear the sound, then when it ends, he comes back and whispers (distractions)."

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَاللَّفْظُ لِقُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ النِّدَاءَ بِالصَّلَاةِ أَحَالَ لَهُ ضُرَاطٌ حَتَّى لَا يَسْمَعَ صَوْتَهُ فَإِذَا سَكَتَ رَجَعَ فَوَسْوَسَ فَإِذَا سَمِعَ الْإِقَامَةَ ذَهَبَ حَتَّى لَا يَسْمَعَ صَوْتَهُ فَإِذَا سَكَتَ رَجَعَ فَوَسْوَسَ.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'When the Mu'adhdhin calls the Adhan, the Shaitan runs away quickly."

حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ بَيَانٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَذَّنَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ أَدْبَرَ الشَّيْطَانُ وَلَهُ حُصَاصٌ.

It was narrated that Suhail said: "My father sent me to Banu Harithah, and with me was a slave of ours - or a friend of ours. A voice called him by name from behind a wall. The one who was with me looked over the wall but could not see anything. I mentioned that to my father and he said: 'If I had known that that would happen to you, I would not have sent you. But (in future) if you hear a voice (and do not see anything), then give the call to prayer, for I heard Abu Hurairah narrating that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "When the call to prayer is given, the Shaitan runs away quickly."

حَدَّثَنِي أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ بِسْطَامَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زُرَيْعٍ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ قَالَ أَرْسَلَنِي أَبِي إِلَى بَنِي حَارِثَةَ قَالَ وَمَعِي غُلَامٌ لَنَا أَوْ صَاحِبٌ لَنَا فَنَادَاهُ مُنَادٍ مِنْ حَائِطٍ بِاسْمِهِ قَالَ وَأَشْرَفَ الَّذِي مَعِي عَلَى الْحَائِطِ فَلَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِأَبِي فَقَالَ لَوْ شَعَرْتُ أَنَّكَ تَلْقَى هَذَا لَمْ أُرْسِلْكَ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا سَمِعْتَ صَوْتًا فَنَادِ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ إِذَا نُودِيَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَلَّى وَلَهُ حُصَاصٌ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "When the call to prayer is given, the Shaitan runs away, breaking wind so that he cannot hear the call. When the call is over, he comes back, until the Iqamah for prayer is given, then he runs away. Then when the Iqamah is over he comes back and tries to distract a man, saying to him, 'Remember such and such, remember such and such,' reminding him of things that he did not remember before, until he does not know how many (Rak'ah) he has prayed."

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ يَعْنِي الْحِزَامِيَّ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ أَدْبَرَ الشَّيْطَانُ لَهُ ضُرَاطٌ حَتَّى لَا يَسْمَعَ التَّأْذِينَ فَإِذَا قُضِيَ التَّأْذِينُ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا ثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلَاةِ أَدْبَرَ حَتَّى إِذَا قُضِيَ التَّثْوِيبُ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى يَخْطُرَ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَنَفْسِهِ يَقُولُ لَهُ اذْكُرْ كَذَا وَاذْكُرْ كَذَا لِمَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَذْكُرُ مِنْ قَبْلُ حَتَّى يَظَلَّ الرَّجُلُ مَا يَدْرِي كَمْ صَلَّى.

It was narrated from Salim that his father said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), when he started his prayer, he raised his hands until they were level with his shoulders, and (he also did that) before he bowed, and when he rose from bowing, but he did not raise them between the two prostrations."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَى قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ مِنْ الرُّكُوعِ وَلَا يَرْفَعُهُمَا بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ.

It was narrated from Salim bin 'Abdullah that Ibn 'Umar said: "When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) stood up to offer Salat, he would raise his hands until they were level with his shoulders, then he would say the Takbir. When he wanted to bow, he did that, and when he rose from bowing he did that, but he did not do that when he lifted his head from prostrating."

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَامَ لِلصَّلَاةِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى تَكُونَا حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ مِنْ الرُّكُوعِ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَلَا يَفْعَلُهُ حِينَ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ السُّجُودِ

It was narrated from Az-Zuhri with this chain, as Ibn Juraij said: "When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) stood up to offer Salat, he raised his hands until they were level with his shoulders, then he said the Takbir."

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ ح و حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قُهْزَاذَ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ كَمَا قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِذَا قَامَ لِلصَّلَاةِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى تَكُونَا حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ.

It was narrated from Abu Qilabah that he saw Malik bin Al-Huwairith, when he prayed, saying the Takbir then raising his hands. When he wanted to bow, he raised his hands, and when he raised his head from bowing he raised his hands. And he narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) used to do that.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ أَنَّهُ رَأَى مَالِكَ بْنَ الْحُوَيْرِثِ إِذَا صَلَّى كَبَّرَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ الرُّكُوعِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَحَدَّثَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ هَكَذَا.
