What to be recited at the beginning of the prayer and at its end
273. ´Aishah narrated that the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam used to bein prayer with Takbir (saying Allahu Akbar) and the recitation: ´´All praises be to Allah, the Rubb of the worlds.´´ When he bowed, he neither kept his head up nor lowered it down but kept it between these extremes. When he raised his head after ruku´, he did not prostrate himself until he stood straight; when he raised his head after Sujud (prostration) he did not prostrate himself again until he sat up straight. At the end of etwo Rak´ah, he recited the Tahiyyat, and he used to place his left foot flat (on the ground) and raise up the right; and he prohibited the devil´s way of sitting on the heels, and he forbade people to spread out their arms like a wild beast. And he used to finish the Salat (prayer) with the Taslim.
