august 19, 2026

277. Wa´li bin Hujr narrated that he saw the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam raising his hands at the time of beginning the Salat (prayer) and reciting Takbir (and according to Hammam, the narrator: the hands were lifted opposite to ears). He wrapped his hands in his cloth and placed his right hand over his left hand. And when he was about to bow down, he brought out his hands from the cloth, and then raised them, and then recited Takbir and bowed down; and when he said: ´Sami´ Allahumliman hamida´, he raised his hands and when he prostrated himself, he prostrated between his two palms.

276. Anas bin Malik narrated: The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam fell down from the horse and grazed his right side. We went to him to inquire about his health, time of Salat (prayer) was due. He led us in prayer in a sitting position, and we performed the prayer behind him sitting. When he finished the prayer, he said: ´´The Imam is made only to be followed; so when he recited Takbir, you should also recite that; when he prostrates himself, you should also prostrate yourselves; when he rises up, you should also rise up; and when he says: ´Sami´ Allahuliman hamida´ you should say: ´Rabbana wa lakal.hamd´; and when he prays sitting, all of you should pray sitting.´´

Takbir (Allahu Akbar) in the prayer

august 19, 2026

274. Abu Hurairah narrated: Whenever the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam stood for the prayer, he said Takbir on starting the prayer and on bowing. After rising from the bowing, he said: ´Sami´ Allahuliman hamida´, and then while standing stright, he used to say: ´Rabbana wa lakal-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 do the same in the whole of the prayer until it was completed. And on rising from the second Rak´ah after sitting (for At-Tahiyyat), he used to say Takbir. Abu Hurairah then said: My prayer resembles that of the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam more than anyone of you.
