Narrator not mentioned: And the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "If the people knew what (reward) is in the call (Adhan) and the first row, and they found no other way to get that except drawing lots, then they would draw lots."

Abdullah (Ibn Masud) narrated that : the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Let those among you with understanding and reason be close to me, then those after them, then those after them. And do not separate or dissention will occur among your hearts, and beware of the commotion of the markets."

Ibn Abbas narrated: "I prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ) one night. I stood at his left, so Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took me by my head, from behind me, to put me on his right (side)."

Anas bin Malik narrated: "My grandmother Mutalikah invited Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to a meal that she prepared. He ate from it, then said: 'Stand so tht we may lead you in prayer.'" He said: "I got a Hasir of our which had become dark because of prolonged use, so I washed it with water. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood on it, and the orphan and I aligned behind him and the only lady stood behind us. He (Allah's Messenger) led us in two Rak'ah of prayer and then left."

Abu Mas'ud narrated that : Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "The one who recites most of the Book of Allah is to lead the people (in prayers). If they are equal in recitation, then the most knowledgeable in the Sunnah among them. If they are equal regarding the Sunnah, then the earliest of them to emigrate. If they are equal in their emigration then the eldest among them. And a man is not to be led in prayer in the place of his authority, and his spot of esteem in his home is not to be sat on without his permission."

Abu Sa'eed narrated that : Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "the key to Salat is the purification, its Tahrim is the Takbir, and its Tahlilis the Taslim, and there is no Salat for one who did not recite Al-Hamd and a Surah in the obligatory (prayer) or other prayers."

Abu Sa'eeed Al Khudri narrated: "When Allah;s Messenger stood for Salat during the night, he would say the Takbir (Allahu Akbar), then say: (Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika wa Tabarakasmuka wa Ta'ala Jadduka wa la ilaha ghairuk.) 'Glorious You are O Allah, and with Your praise, and blesses is Your Name, and exalted is Your majesty, and none has the right to be worshipped but You' Then he would say: (A'udhu Bilahi As-Sami'il-Alimi min Ash-Shaitanir-Rajimi, min Hamzihi Wa Nafkhihi wa Nafthihi.)" 'Allah is undoubtedly the greatest.' (Allahu Akbaru Kabira). Then he would say: 'I seek refuge in Allah the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, from the cursed Shaitan, from his madness, his arrogance, and his poetry.'

Aishah narrated: "When the Prophet (ﷺ) opened the Salat he would say: (Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika wa tabarakasmuka, wa ta'ala jadduka wa la ilaha ghairuk)" 'Glorious You are O Allah, and with Your praise, and blessed is Your Name, and exalted is Your majesty, and none has the right to be worshipped but You.'

Ibn Abdullah bin Mughaffal narrated: "While I was praying, I said: Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim "In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Beneficent." My father heard me and said: "O my son this is a newly invented matter, beware of the newly-invented.'" He (Ibn Abdullah) said: "I have not seen any one of the Companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who hated a newly invented matter in Islam more than him. And he said: 'I have performed Salat with the Prophet, and with Abu Bakr, and Umar, and with Uthman. I did not hear any one of them saying it. So do not say it. When you are performing Salat say: Al-Hamdu lilahi Rabbil-Alamin "All praise is due to Allah the Lord of all that exists.'"

Ibn Abbas narrated: "The Prophet (ﷺ) would open his Salat with (Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim)."

Anas narrated: "Allah's Messenger, Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman opened the Salat with (Al-Hamdu-lillahi rabbil-alamin)."

Wa'il bin Hujr narrated: "I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) recite: (Not (the way) of those who earned Your anger, nor those who went astray) and he said: 'Amin.' And he stretched it out with his voice."

(Another chain) from Wa'il bin Hujr who narrated it from : the Prophet, and it is similar to the narrations of Sufyan from Salamah bin Kuhail

Abu Hurairah narrated that : the Prophet (ﷺ) said "When the Imam says 'Amin' then (all of you) say 'Amin.' For whoever's 'Amin' concurs with the 'Amin' of the angels, then his past sins will be forgiven."

Al-Hasan narrated that : Samurah said: "there are two pauses that I preserved from Allah's Messenger." But Imran bin Husain rejected that and said: "We preserved one pause." "So we wrote to Ubayy bin Ka'b in Al-Madinah. Ubayy wrote that Samurah was correct." Sa'eed said: "We said to Qatadah: 'What are those two pauses?' He said: 'When he entered into his Salat, and when he finished his recitation.' Then he (Qatadah) said after that: 'And when he recited (Nor those who went astray.)' And he said: 'He liked to pause when he finished the recitation until he caught his breath.'"

Abdullah bin Mas'ud narrated: "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would say the Takbir for every lowering and raising, standing and sitting, and (so did) Abu Bakr and Umar."

Salim narrated from : his father (Ibn Umar) who said: "I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) when he opened the Salat, raising his hands to the level of his shoulders, and (again) when he bowed, and when he raised his head from bowing." In his narration, Ibn Abi Umar added: "And he wuld not raise them between the two prostrations."

Salim narrated: Same as 255 (above) with a different chain

Alqamah narrated that : Abdullah bin Mas'ud said: "Shall I not demonstrate the Salat of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to you?" Then he offered Salat and he did not raise his hands except while saying the first Takbir."

Abbas bin Sahl narrated: "Abu Humaid, Abu Usaid, Sahl bin Sa'd, and Muhammad bin Maslamah were once together and they were mentioning the Salat of Allah's Messenger. Abu Humaid said: 'I am the most knowledgeable among you of the Salat of Allah's Messenger: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would bow and place his hands on his knees as if he was grasping them, and he would draw his forearms to hold them away from his sides.'"
