أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ کَانَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ فَيُکَبِّرُ کُلَّمَا خَفَضَ وَرَفَعَ فَإِذَا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَشْبَهُکُمْ صَلَاةً بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1160
It was narrated from Abu Salamah that Abu Hurairah used to lead them in prayer, and he said the Takbir when he went down and came up. When he had finished he said: ‘By Allah, I am the one among you whose prayer most closely resembles that of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم.“(Sahih).
