Suddi reported: I asked Anas how I should turn-to the right or to the left-when I say my prayers. He said: I have very often seen the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) turning to the right.

Anas reported: The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to turn to the right (at the end of the prayer).

Bara' reported: When we prayed behind the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) we cherished to be on his right side so that his face would turn towards us (at the end of the prayer), and he (the narrator) said: I heard him say: O my Lord! save me from Thy torment on the Day when Thou wouldst raise or gather Thy servants.

This hadith has been reported by Mis'ar with the same chain of transmitters, but he made no mention of: " His face would turn towards us."

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: When the prayer commences then there is no prayer (valid), but the obligatory prayer. This hadith has been narrated by Warqa' with the same chain of transmitters.

This Arabic text is part of previous Hadeeth No.8945 but not taken with that and not transmitted.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: When the prayer commences, there is no prayer but the obligatory one.

A hadith like this has been reported by Ishaq with the same chain of transmitters.

This hadith has been narrated by Abu Hurairah (RA) with another chain of transmitters. Hammad (one of the narrators) said: I then met 'Amr (the other narrator) and he narrated it to me, but it was not transmitted directly from the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) .

'Abdullah bin Malik bin Buhaina reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) happened to pass by a person who was busy in praying while the (Fard of the) dawn prayer had commenced. He said something to him, which we do not know what it was. When we turned back we surrounded him and said: What is it that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to you? He replied: He (the Holy Prophet) had said to me that he perceived as if one of them was about to observe four (rak'ahs) of the dawn prayer. Qa'nabi reported that 'Abdullah bin Malik bin Buhaina narrated it on the authority of his father. (Abu'l-Husain Muslim said): His assertion that he has narrated this hadith on the authority of his father is not correct.
