English translation
[868] 28 - (...) It was narrated from Abū Bakr bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān that he heard Abū Hurairah say: "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood up to offer Ṣalāt, he would say the Takbîr when he stood up, then he would say the Takbîr when he bowed. Then he would say: ‘Sami’a Allâhu liman ḥamidah (Allâh hears those who praise Him)’ when he was straightening his back after bowing. Then, while he was standing he would say: ‘Rabbanâ wa lakal-ḥamd (our Lord, and to You is the praise).’ Then he would say the Takbîr when he went down in prostration. Then he would say the Takbîr when he raised his head, then he would say the Takbîr when he prostrated, then he would say the Takbîr when he raised his head. And he did that throughout the prayer until he finished. And he would say the Takbîr when he stood up after two Rak’ah, after sitting.” Then Abû Hurairah said: “I am the one among you whose prayer most closely resembles that of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ.”
