أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَکَمِ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِلَالٍ عَنْ نُعَيْمٍ الْمُجْمِرِ قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ وَرَائَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَرَأَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ حَتَّی إِذَا بَلَغَ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ فَقَالَ آمِينَ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ آمِينَ وَيَقُولُ کُلَّمَا سَجَدَ اللَّهُ أَکْبَرُ وَإِذَا قَامَ مِنْ الْجُلُوسِ فِي الِاثْنَتَيْنِ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَکْبَرُ وَإِذَا سَلَّمَ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَشْبَهُکُمْ صَلَاةً بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 909
It was narrated that Nu’aim Al-Mujmir said: “I prayed behind Abu Hurairah and he recited: In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, then he recited Umm Al-Qur’an (Al Fatihah), and when he reached: not (the way) of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray, he said: ‘Amin’ and the people said ‘Amin.’ And every time he prostrated he said: ‘Allahu Akbar’ and when he stood up from sitting after two Rak’ahs he said: ‘Allahu Akbar’. And after he had said the Salam he said: ‘By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! My prayer most closely resembles the prayer of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم .“ (Sahih)
