3. 'Alī narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The key to Ṣalāt is the purification, its Tahrīm is the Takbīr, and its Tahlīl is the Taslīm."[1] (Hasan)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is the most correct thing related about this topic, and the best.
As for 'Abdullāh bin Muḥammad bin 'Aqīl (one of the narrators), he is truthful, some of the people of knowledge have criticized him due to his memory.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] I heard Muḥammad bin Ismā'īl saying, "Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal, Ishāq bin Ibrāhīm, and Al-Ḥumaidī cite the narrations of 'Abdullāh bin Muḥammad bin 'Aqīl as proof." Muḥammad said, "He is Muqārīb (average) in Hadīth."
[Abū 'Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from Jābir and from Abū Sa'eed.

[1] Meaning upon uttering "Allāhu Akbar" one enters into the sacred state of prayer, and upon saying "As-Salāmu 'Alaikum wa Rahmatullāh" and turning the face to the right, and saying the same while turning one's face to the left, the sacred state of prayer ends.
Commentary
This Hadīth shows that prayers would not be regarded valid without purification.
