Islam

 313. Ibn ´Abbas narrated: We used to know that Allah´s Messenger sallahu alayhi wa sallam had finished his prayer when we heard the Takbir (Allahu Akbar).

 312. Warrad, the freed slave of Mughirah bin Shu´bah reported that Mughriah bin Shu´bah wrote to Mu´awiyah: When the Messenger of Allah sallahu alayhi wa sallam finished the prayer and called Taslim he uttered (this supplication): ´´La ilaha illallah, wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa Hawa ´ala kuli sha´in Qadir. Allahumma la mani´a lima a ´taita, wa la mu´tiya lima mana´ta, wa la yanfa´u dhal-jaddi minkal-jadd- (There is no true God except Allah Alone having no partner. To Him belong the dominion, and the praise, and He has power over everything. O Allah, there is none to withhold what You give, nor is there any to give what You withhold, and the riches of the rich does not avail against You).´´

 311. Jabir bin Samurah narrated: When we performed prayer with the Messenger of Allah sallahu alayhi wa sallam, we said: ´´Assalamu ´Alaikum wa Rahmatullah (May safety and security be granted to you and mercy of Allah),´´ and motioned our hands on both the sides. Upon this the Messenger of Allah sallahu alayhi wa sallam said: ´´Why do you motion your hands as if they are the tails of headstrong horses? It is enough for you to place your hand on your thigh and then make Taslim to his brother on the right side and then on the left.´´

 310. ´Amir bin Sa´d reported from his father: I used to see the Messenger of Allah sallahu alayhi wa sallam when he pronounced Taslim on his right and on his left until I could see the whiteness of his cheek.

 309. Abu Mas´ud Al-Ansari narrated: We were sitting in the company of Sa´d bin ´Ubadah when the Messenger of Allah sallahu alayhi wa sallam came to us. Bashir bin Sa´d said: ´´Allah has commanded us to supplicate for you. How do we do that?´´ The Messenger of Allah sallahu alayhi wa sallam kept silent that we wished he would not have asked him. The Messenger of Allah sallahu alayhi wa sallam then said: ´´(For blessing me) say: ´Allahumma salli ´ala Muhammadin wa ´ala ali Muhammadin, kama sallaita ´ala ali Ibrahima, wa bark ´ala Muhammadin wa ´ala ali Muhammadin, kama baraka ´ala ali Ibrahim, fil- ´alamin, innaka Hamidun Majid. (O Allah, exalt the mention of Muhammad, and the household of Muhammad as You exalted the mention of the household of Ibrahim, and bless Muhammad and the household of Muhammad, as You blessed the household of Ibrahim in the worlds. You certainly are Praised and Glorious.)´ And as for the greeting, you know it.´´

 308. Abu Darda narrated: The Messenger of Allah sallahu alayhi wa sallam stood (to perform prayer) and we heard him saying: ´´I seek refuge with Allah from you,´´ then he said: ´´I curse you by the curse of Allah,´´ (thrice), and stretched his hands as if he was catching something. When he finished the prayer, we said: ´´O Messenger of Allah, we heard you saying something (words) in the prayer which we have not heard you say before, and we saw you stretch your hands.´´ He said: ´´The enemy of Allah, Iblis, came (to me) having a burning brand of fire to keep (it) on my face. So I said: ´I seek refuge with Allah from you´ curse you by the curse of Allah´, but he did not slip back. Then I intended to catch him. By Allah if I have not remembered the supplication of my brother Sulaiman, I would have catch him and tie him so that the boys of Al-Madinah would make fun of him.´´
