6667. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: A man entered the mosque and started offering Salāt (prayer) while Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was sitting somewhere in the mosque. Then (after finishing the Salāt) the man came to the Prophet ﷺ and greeted him. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Go back and offer Salāt (prayer), for you have not offered Salāt (prayer)." The man went back, and having offered Salāt (prayer), he came and greeted the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ after returning his greetings said, "Go back and offer Salāt (prayer), for you did not offer Salāt (prayer)." On the third time the man said, "(O Allāh's Messenger!) Teach me [how to offer Salāt (prayer)]." The Prophet ﷺ said, "When you get up for the Salāt (prayer), perform the ablution properly and then face the Qiblah and say Takbir (Allāhu Akbar), and then recite of what you know of the Qur'an, and then bow, and remain in this state till you feel at rest in bowing, and then raise your head and stand straight; and then prostrate till you feel at rest in prostration, and then sit up till you feel at rest while sitting; and then prostrate again till you feel at rest in prostration; and then get up and stand straight, and do all this in all your Ṣalāt (prayer).”
