793. Narrated Abū Hurairah: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Once the Prophet ﷺ entered the mosque, a man came in, offered the Ṣalāt (prayer) and greeted the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ returned his greeting and said to him, "Go back and offer Ṣalāt again for you have not offered Ṣalāt." The man offered the Ṣalāt again, came back and greeted the Prophet ﷺ. He said to him thrice, "Go back and offer Ṣalāt again for you have not offered Ṣalāt." The man said, "By Him, Who has sent you with the truth! I do not know a better way of offering Ṣalāt. Kindly teach me how to offer Ṣalāt." He ﷺ said, "When you stand for the Ṣalāt, say Takbīr and then recite from the Qur'an what you know and then bow with calmness till you feel at ease, then rise from bowing till you stand straight. Afterwards prostrate calmly till you feel at ease and then raise (your head) and sit with calmness till you feel at ease, and then prostrate with calmness till you feel at ease in prostration and do the same in the whole of your Salāt."

793 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ المَقْبُرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ المَسْجِدَ، فَدَخَلَ رَجُلٌ، فَصَلَّى، ثُمَّ جَاءَ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلّى الله عليه وسلم فَرَدَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمَ، فَقَالَ: «ارْجِعْ فَصَلِّ فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ»، فَصَلَّى، ثُمَّ جَاءَ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «ارْجِعْ فَصَلِّ، فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ» ثَلاَثًا، فَقَالَ: وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالحَقِّ، فَمَا أُحْسِنُ غَيْرَهُ، فَعَلِّمْنِي، قَالَ: «إِذَا قُمْتَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ، فَكَبِّرْ، ثُمَّ اقْرَأْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مَعَكَ مِنَ القُرْآنِ، ثُمَّ ارْكَعْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ رَاكِعًا، ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ حَتَّى تَعْتَدِلَ قَائِمًا، ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ سَاجِدًا، ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ جَالِسًا، ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ سَاجِدًا، ثُمَّ افْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فِي صَلاَتِكَ كُلِّهَا»
