English translation
857. ‘Ali bin Yahyā bin Khallād reported a similar narration from his paternal uncle, that a man entered the Masjid, except that in this (narration) the Prophet ﷺ said: “No person’s prayer will be complete until he performs Wudu’ the way that it should be performed, then he says the Takbīr and praises Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, and glorifies Him, then recites what is convenient for him of the Qur’ān, then says: ‘Allāhu Akbar’ (Allāh is the Most Great), then goes into Rukū’ until his joints have rested (in their places), then says: ‘Sami’ Allāhu liman ḥamidah’ (Allāh has heard one who praises Him)’ until he stands straight, then says: ‘Allāhu Akbar’ (Allāh is the Most Great),’ then goes into prostration until his joints have rested, then says: ‘Allāhu Akbar (Allāh is the Most Great),’ and raises his head (to sit), until he has come to rest sitting, then says: ‘Allāhu Akbar (Allāh is the Most Great),’ then goes into prostration until his joints have rested, then raises his head and says the Takbir. If he does these (acts), then his prayer is complete.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
