Anas bin Malik said: I did not offer prayer behind anyone more brief than the one offered by the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and that was perfect. When the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: “Allah listens to him who praises Him, ” he stood long we thought that he had omitted something; then he say takbir (Allah is most great) and prostrate, and would sit between the two prostrations so long that we thought that he had omitted something.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَحُمَيْدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَجُلٍ أَوْجَزَ صَلَاةً مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي تَمَامٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِذَا قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَامَ حَتَّى نَقُولَ:‏‏‏‏ قَدْ أَوْهَمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ وَيَسْجُدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانَ يَقْعُدُ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ حَتَّى نَقُولَ:‏‏‏‏ قَدْ أَوْهَمَ .
انس بن مالک رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ   میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے زیادہ مختصر اور مکمل نماز کسی کے پیچھے نہیں پڑھی، رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم جب «سمع الله لمن حمده» کہتے تو کھڑے رہتے یہاں تک کہ ہم لوگ سمجھتے کہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو وہم ہو گیا ہے، پھر آپ «اللہ اکبر» کہتے اور سجدہ کرتے اور دونوں سجدوں کے درمیان اتنی دیر تک بیٹھتے کہ ہم لوگ سمجھتے کہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو وہم ہو گیا ہے۔

Al-Bara bin Azib said: I witnessed Muhammed صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم –Abu Kamil’s version has the wording: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم-during his prayer. I found his standing like his bowing and prostration and his moderation in bowing was like that of his prostration, and his sitting between the two prostration and his prostration (and his sitting between the salutation) and going away ( after finishing the prayer) were nearly equal to one another. Abu Dawud said: Musaddad said: His bowing and his moderation in bowing and prostration, and his prostration and his sitting between the two prostrations, and his prostration and sitting between the salutation and going away (after finishing the prayer) were nearly equal.

Abu Hurairah said: When the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم entered the mosque, a man also entered it and prayed. He then came and saluted the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم returned the salutation and said to him: Go back and pray, for you have not prayed. The man returned and prayed as he prayed before. He then came to Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and saluted him. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said to him: “ And upon you be peace. “ Go back and pray, for you have not prayed. He did so three times. Then the man said: By Him who has sent you (as a Prophet) with truth; I cannot do better than this; so teach me. He said: When you get up to pray, utter the takbir (Allah is most great); then recite a convenient portion of the Quran; then bow and remain quietly in that position; then sit and remain quietly in that position; then raise yourself and stand erect: then prostrate yourself and remain quietly in that position; then sit and remain quietly in that position; then do that throughout all your prayer. Abu Dawud said: Al-Qanabi reported this tradition from Saeed bin Abi Saeed on the authority of Abu Hurairah. This version has the wording in the last: When you do this, then your prayer is completed. If you omit anything form this, you omit that much from your prayer. This version also has the wording: when you get up for praying, perform the abulation perfectly.

He should then say: Allah is Most Great . Next he should bow so that all his joints return to their proper places. Then he should say: Allah listens to the one who praises Him , and stand erect. He should then say: Allah is most great, and should prostrate himself so that all his joints are completely at rest. Then he should say: Allah is most great ; he should raise his head (at the end of prostration) till he sits erect.

Narrated Rifaah ibn Rafi: This version (of Hadith No 856) adds: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: The prayer of any of you is not complete until he performs ablution perfectly, as Allah, the Exalted, has ordered you. He should wash his face and hands up to the elbows, and wipe his head and (wash) his feet up to the ankles. Then he should exalt Allah and praise Him. Then he should recite the Quran as much as it is convenient for him. (Narrator then narrated the tradition like Hammad's, No. 856). He said: He then utter the takbir and prostration himself so that his face is at rest. Hammam (sub-narrator) said: Sometimes he reported: So that his forehead is at rest on the ground, and his joints return to their places and are loosened. Then he should say the takbir and then sit right on his hips and erect his back. He described the nature of prayer in this way by offering four rak'ahs until he finished it. The prayer of any of you is not complete unless he does so.
