1066. It was narrated from Al-Barā' bin 'Āzib that the bowing of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and when he raised his head from bowing, and his prostration, and the time between the two prostration, were almost equal in length. (Ṣaḥīḥ)
1065 - أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ رُكُوعُهُ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَسُجُودُهُ وَمَا بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ قَرِيبًا مِنَ السَّوَاءِ» (25 ما يقول في قيامه ذلك)

This particular Hadīth provides a moment of contemplation and reflection for those who consider it reprehensible or undesirable to recite supplications when standing upright after the bowing posture (Qawmah) or when sitting between the two prostrations (Jalsah). The genuine prayer is only that one which corresponds to the Prophet's ﷺ Sunnah and not to juristic hair-splitting. Such hair-splitting, when it is not based on sound proofs, ruins the very beauty and calmness of the prayer and renders the prayer a mere physical exercise. And we seek refuge with Allāh!
