Anas bin Malik narrated that :Allah's Messenger said: ""Whoever performs Salat for Allah for forty days in congregation, catching the first Takbir, two absolutions are written for him: absolution from the Fire, and absolution from the Fire, and absolution from hypocrisy

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 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 who hated a newly invented matter in Islam more than him. And he said: 'Ihave 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 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)

Ubadah bin As-Samil narrated that :the Prophet said: ""There is no Salat for the one who does not recite Fatihatil-Kitab

Wa'il bin Hujr narrated:""I heard the Prophet 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 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

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 to you?"" Then he offered Salat and he did not raise his hands except while saying the first Takbir

Abu Abdur-Rahman As-Sulami said:""Umar bin Al-Khattab [may Allah be pleased with him] said to us: 'The knees are the Sunnah for you, so hold the knees

Sa'd bin Abi Waqas said:""We would do that, but then we were prohibited from it, and we were ordered to put our hands on our knees

Abbas bin Sahl [bin Sa'd] 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 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

Ibn Mas'ud narrated that :the Prophet said: ""When one of you bows then says while he is bowing: (Subhana Rabbiyal Azim) 'Glorious is my Lord the Magnificent' three times, then he has completed his bowing. And that is the least of it. And when he prostrates and says while prostrating: (Subhana Rabbiyal A'la) 'Glorious is my Lord the Most High' three times, then he has completed his prostrations, and that is the least of it

Hudhaifah narrated that :he performed Salat with the Prophet, and that while he was bowing he would say: (Subhana Rabbiyal Azim); ""Glorious is my Lord the Magnificent"" and while prostrating: (Subhana Rabbiyal A'la) 'Glorious is my Lord the Most High.' And he would not recite an Ayah mentioning mercy, except that he would stop and ask (for mercy), and he would not recite an Ayah mentioning punishment, except that he would stop and seek refuge (with Allah from it)

Rabba na lakal-hamd, mil'as-samawati wa mil'al-ardi wa mil'a ma bainahuma wa mil'a ma shi'ia min shay'in ba'd) 'Allah listens to those who praise Him. O our Lord! And to You is the praise that fills the heavens and fills the earth, and fills what is between them, and fills whatever there is beyond that You will.' He said: There are narrations on this topic from Ibn Umar, Ibn Abbas, Ibn Abi Awfa, Abu Juhaifa, and Abu Sa'eed

Abu Hurairah narrated that :Allah's Messenger said: ""When the Imam says: (Sami Allahu liman hamidah) 'Allah listens to those who praise Him.
