English translation
858. (There is another chain) from ‘Ali bin Yahyā bin Khallād, from his father, from his paternal uncle Rifā‘ah bin Rāfi’, with similar meaning (as no. 857). He said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘The prayer of one of you is not complete until he perfects (Yusbiḥ) the Wuḍū‘ as Allāh, the Most High, has ordered him, so he washes his face and hands until the elbows, and wipes his head, and his feet until the ankles. Then, he says the Takbir to Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, and praises Him, and then he recites of the Qur’ān whatever is written for him and convenient...” and he mentioned similar to the narration of Hammād, and said: “...Then he should say the Takbir, and go into prostration, and place his face” — Hammām (one of the narrators) said: “Perhaps he said: ‘his forehead’” — “firmly on the ground, until his joints have rested and become loose. Then he should say the Takbīr and come to rest sitting on his posterior, and bring his back to rest..." and he continued describing the prayer in a similar manner for four Rak'ahs, until he finished with: "The prayer of one of you is not accepted until he does this." (Saḥīh)
