It was narrated that 'Alqamah bin Wa'il, and a freed slave of theirs, narrated from his father, Wa'il bin Hujr, that he saw the Prophet (s.a.w) raise his hands when he started the prayer, and say the Takbir - Hamam described it as being level with his ears - then he wrapped himself in his garment, and placed his right hand over his left. When he wanted to bow, he brought his hands out from his garment and raised them, then he said the Takbir and bowed. When he said, "Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him)," he raised his hands, and when he prostrated, he prostrated between his hands."

حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جُحَادَةَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ وَمَوْلًى لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمَا حَدَّثَاهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حِينَ دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ كَبَّرَ وَصَفَ هَمَّامٌ حِيَالَ أُذُنَيْهِ ثُمَّ الْتَحَفَ بِثَوْبِهِ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ أَخْرَجَ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ الثَّوْبِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَهُمَا ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَرَكَعَ فَلَمَّا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فَلَمَّا سَجَدَ سَجَدَ بَيْنَ كَفَّيْهِ.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: "When we offered Salat behind the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), we used to say: 'Peace (Salam) be upon Allah, peace be upon so-and-so.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said to us one day: 'Allah is As-Salam, so when one of you sits in prayer (during Qa'ida), let him say: ''At-Tahiyyatu Lillahi was-salawatu wat-tayyibat; as-salamu 'alayka ayyuhan-nabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu; as-salamu 'alaina wa 'ala 'ibad-illahis-salihin (All compliments, prayers and good words are due to Allah; peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings; peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah). For if you say that it will reach every righteous slave in the heavens and on earth. (Then say:) "Ashhadu an Ia ililha illallah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa Rasuluhu (I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger)." Then let him choose whatever supplications he wishes.'"

حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ كُنَّا نَقُولُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى فُلَانٍ فَقَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ السَّلَامُ فَإِذَا قَعَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيَقُلْ التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ فَإِذَا قَالَهَا أَصَابَتْ كُلَّ عَبْدٍ لِلَّهِ صَالِحٍ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ثُمَّ يَتَخَيَّرُ مِنْ الْمَسْأَلَةِ مَا شَاءَ.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) used to teach us the Tashah-hud as he would teach us a Surah of the Qur'an. He used to say: 'At-Tahiyyatul-mubarakatus-salawatut-tayyibatu Lillah; as-salamu 'alayky ayyuhan-nabiyyu wa rahmatu-Allahi wa barakatuhu; as-salamu 'alaina wa 'ala 'ibadillahis-salihin. Ashhadu an Ia ilaha illallah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah (All blessed compliments and good prayers are due to Allah; peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings; peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah).'" According to the report of Ibn Rumh: "As he would teach us the Qur'an."

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ح و حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحِ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ وَعَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعَلِّمُنَا التَّشَهُّدَ كَمَا يُعَلِّمُنَا السُّورَةَ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ التَّحِيَّاتُ الْمُبَارَكَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ لِلَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ. وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ رُمْحٍ كَمَا يُعَلِّمُنَا الْقُرْآنَ.

It was narrated that Hittan bin 'Abdullah Ar-Raqashi said: "I offered prayer with Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari and when he was sitting (in Qa'ida), a man among the people said: 'Has As-Salat been enjoined alongside Birr (righteousness) and Zakat?' When Abu Musa had finished the prayer, he turned and said: 'Which of you is the one who said such and such?' The people fell silent and he said: 'Perhaps it was you, O Hittan, who said it?' He said: 'I did not say it, but I was afraid that you would be cross with me because of it.' A man among the people said: 'I said it, but I did not intend anything but good thereby.' Abu Musa said: 'Do you not know what you should say in your prayer?' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) addressed us and explained our Sunnah to us, and taught us our prayer. He said: "When you offer prayer, make your rows straight and let one of you lead the others. When he says the Takbir, then say the Takbir; when he says: 'Not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray' then say: 'Amin,' and Allah will answer you. When he says the Takbir and bows, then say the Takbir and bow. The Imam bows before you and raises his head before you." The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The one makes up for the other. When he says 'Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him),' then say: 'Allahumma Rabbana lakal-hamd (O Allah, our Lord, to You be praise),' Allah will hear you, for Allah Most High has said, upon the tongue of His Prophet (s.a.w): 'Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him).' When he says the Takbir and prostrates, then say the Takbir and prostrate, for the Imam prostrates before you and rises before you." The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The one makes up for the other. And when you are sitting (i.e., in Qa'ida), let the first thing one of you says be: 'At-Tahiyyatut-tayyibatus-salawatu Lillah, as-salamu 'alaika ayyuhan-nabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu; as-salamu 'alaina wa 'ala 'ibad-illahis-salihin. Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa Rasuluhu (All compliments, good words and prayers are due to Allah; peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings; peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger)."'

It was narrated that Qatadah added: "And when he recites, listen attentively." And it does not say in the Hadith of any of them: "for Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has said upon the tongue of His Prophet (s.a.w), 'Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him)"' - except in the report narrated by Abu Kamil only from Abu 'Awanah. Abu Ishaq said: Abu Bakr Ibn Ukhti Abi An-Nadr spoke about this Hadith. So Muslim said: "Do you want someone with a better memory than that of Sulaiman?" So Abu Bakr said to him: "Then what about the Hadith of Abu Hurairah?" He said: "It is Salat." Meaning: "And when he recites, listen attentively." So he said: "To me, it is Salat." So he said: "Then why didn't you put it here?" He said: "I did not put everything here that is Salat in my view! I only put here what they have agreed upon."

It was narrated from Qatadah with this chain, and he said in the Hadith: "Allah has decreed upon the tongue of His Prophet (s.a.w): 'Allah hears those who praise Him."'

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ وَقَالَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَضَى عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ.

It was narrated that Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) came to us while we were in the gathering of Sa'd bin 'Ubadah, and Bashir bin Sa'd said to him: 'Allah has commanded us to send Salat upon you. O Messenger of Allah! How should we send Salat upon you?' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) remained silent until we wished that he had not asked him, then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Say: ''Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammadin kama salayta 'ala ali Ibrahim, wa barik 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammadin kama barakta 'ala ali Ibrahim feel-'alamin, innaka hamidun majid (O Allah, send Your Salat (grace, honor and mercy) upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your Salat upon the family of Ibrahim, and send Your blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your blessings upon the family of Ibrahim among the nations, You are indeed Praiseworthy, Most Glorious)." And the Salam is as you know."'

Ibn Abi Laila said: "Ka'b bin 'Ujrah met me and said: 'Shall I not give you a gift? The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) came out to us and we said: "We know what it means to send Salam upon you, but what does it mean to send Salat upon you?" He said: "Say: 'Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammadin kama sallaita 'ala ali Ibrahim, innaka hamidun majid; Allahumma barik 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammadin kama barakta 'ala ali Ibrah'im, innaka hamidun majid (O Allah, send Your Salat (grace, honor and mercy) upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your Salat upon the family of Ibrahim, You are indeed Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. O Allah, send Your blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your blessings upon the family of Ibrahim, You are indeed Praiseworthy, Most Glorious)."'

Abu Humaid As-Sa'idi narrated that they said: "O Messenger of Allah, how should we send Salat upon you?" He said: "Say: 'Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala azwajihi wa dhurriyyatihi kama salayta 'ala Ibrahim, wa barik 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala azwajihi wa dhurriyyatihi kama barakta 'ala ali Ibrahim, innaka hamidun majid (O Allah, send Your Salat (grace, honor and mercy) upon Muhammad and upon his wives and offspring, as You sent Your Salat upon Ibrahim, and send Your blessings upon Muhammad and upon his wives and offspring, as You sent Your blessings upon the family of Ibrahim.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Whoever sends Salat upon me once, Allah will send Salat upon him tenfold."
