“I asked ‘Aishah about the Witr oftheMessenger of Allah (ﷺ). She said: ‘He prayed Witr at every partof the night, at the beginning, in the middle and at the end, when hedied (he would perform it) just before dawn.’”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)said: ‘Whoever sleeps and misses Witr, or forgets it, let him prayitwhen morning comes, or when he remembers.’”

“Aishah narrated to me thattheMessenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed Witr with one Rak’ah, then heprayed two Rak’ah in which he recited while sitting, then when hewanted to bow, he stood up and bowed.”

“When the Messenger of Allah(sawprayed the two (Sunnah) Rak’ah of Fajr, he would lie down.”

“(Once) the Prophet (ﷺ) prayedZuhr with five Rak’ah, and it was said to him: ‘Has somethingbeenadded to the prayer?’ He said: ‘What is that?’ They toldhim, and heturned back towards the Qiblah and performed twoprostrations.”

“The Prophet (ﷺ) offered prayer,Ithink it was the ‘Asr, and in the second Rak’ah he stood upbeforehe sat. Before he said the Salam, he prostrated twice.”

It wasnarrated from ‘Abdur-Rahman Al-A’raj that Ibn Buhainah toldhimthat the Prophet (ﷺ) stood up in the second Rak’ah of Zuhr andforgot to sit. When he had finished his prayer, and before he saidtheSalam, he performed the two prostrations for forgetfulness (Sahw)andsaid the Salam.

“The Messenger ofAllah(ﷺ) said: ‘If anyone of you is uncertain about his prayer, lethim put aside uncertainty and act upon that which is certain. When hehas made sure his prayer is complete, then let him prostrate twice.Then if his prayer was complete, that (extra) Rak’ah will becountedas voluntary, and if his prayer was lacking, that Rak’ahwill completehis prayer, and the two prostrations will rub theSatan’s nose in thedust.’”

“TheSatancomes to any one of you while he is praying and comes betweenhim andhis soul, until he does not know whether he as added somethingoromitted something. If that happens, then he should prostrate twicebefore the Salam, then he should say the Salam.”

“I heard the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ)say: ‘For every mistake there are two prostrations, after sayingthe Salam.’”

“I suffered from Nasur*andI asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about prayer. He said: ‘Perform prayerstanding; if you cannot, then sitting; and if you cannot then whilelying on your side.’”

‘By the One Who took his soul(i.e., the soul of the Prophet (ﷺ)), he did not die until heofferedmost of his prayers sitting down. And the dearest of theactions tohim was the righteous action that the person doesregularly, even ifit were a little.”

“I asked‘Aishah about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) at night.Shesaid: ‘He used to pray for a long time at night standing up,and for along time at night sitting down. If he prayed standing, hewould bowstanding, and if he prayed sitting, he would bow sitting.’”

“Theprayer of one who sits down is equivalent to half of the prayer ofonewho stands.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)said: ‘The Imam is appointed to be followed. When he says AllahuAkbar, then say Allahu Akbar; when he bows, then bow; when he saysSami’ Allahu liman hamidah, then say Rabbana wa lakal-hamd; when heprostrates then prostrate; if he prays standing, then pray standing,and if he prays sitting down then pray sitting down.”

It wasnarrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)usedto recite Qunut in the Subh prayer, and he used to supplicate initagainst one of the Arab tribes for a month, then he stopped doingso.

“When the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ)raised his head from Ruku’ in the Subh prayer, he said: ‘OAllah,save Al-Walid bin Walid, Salamah bin Hisham and ‘Ayyash bin AbuRabi’ah, and the oppressed in Makkah. O Allah, tighten Your grip onMudar, and send them years of famine like the famine of Yusuf.”

“The Prophet (ﷺ) was stung by ascorpion while he was performing prayer, and he said: ‘May Allahcursethe scorpion, for it does not spare anyone, whether he ispraying ornot. Kill them whether you are in Ihram or not.’” InAl-Hill (outsidethe sacred precincts of Makkah) or Al-Haram (thesacred precincts orMakkah).

“The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said: ‘O Banu ‘Abd Manaf! Do not prevent anyone fromcircumambulating this House or praying at any time he wants of thedayor night.”

“The sun was eclipsed atthe time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and he came out alarmed,dragging his lower garment, until he reached the mosque. He continuedto perform prayer until the eclipse was over, then he said: ‘Somepeople claim that the sun and moon only become eclipsed because ofthedeath of a great leader. That is not so. The sun and the moon donotbecome eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. When AllahmanifestsHimself to anything in His creation, it humbles itselfbefore Him.’”
