803. Narrated Abū Bakr bin 'Abdur Raḥmān bin Ḥārīth bin Hishām and Abū Salama bin 'Abdur Raḥmān: Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه used to say Takbīr in all Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayers), compulsory and optional — in the month of Ramaḍān or other months. He used to say Takbīr on standing for Ṣalāt (prayer) and on bowing; then he would say Samī' Allāhu liman ḥamida, and before prostrating he would say Rabbanā walakal-ḥamd. Then he would say Takbīr on prostrating and on raising his head from the prostration, then another Takbīr on prostrating (for the second time), and on raising up his head from the prostration. He also would say the Takbīr on standing from the second Rak'ā. He used to do the same in every Rak'ā till he completed Aṣ-Ṣalāt. On completion of the Ṣalāt, he would say, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is! No doubt my Ṣalāt closely resembles to that of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ than yours, and this was his Ṣalāt till he left this world."
