أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ عَطَائِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ سَالِمٍ الْبَرَّادِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ أَلَا أُرِيکُمْ کَيْفَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي قُلْنَا بَلَی فَقَامَ فَکَبَّرَ فَلَمَّا رَکَعَ جَافَی بَيْنَ إِبْطَيْهِ حَتَّی لَمَّا اسْتَقَرَّ کُلُّ شَيْئٍ مِنْهُ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَصَلَّی أَرْبَعَ رَکَعَاتٍ هَکَذَا وَقَالَ هَکَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1043
It was narrated that Salim Barad said: “Abu Ma’sud said:‘Shall I not show you how the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم prayed?’ We said: ‘Yes.’ So he stood up and said the Takbir, and when he bowed, he held his arms out from his sides until, when every part of him settled, he raised his head. He prayed four Rak’ahs like that. and said: ‘This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم praying.” (Hasan)
