Narrated Samurah ibn Jundub: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم commanded us to respond to the salutation of the imam. and to love each other, and to salute each other.

Ibn Abbas said: The end of the prayer of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was known by the takbir (pronounced aloud).

Ibn Abbas said: To raise the voice for making the mention of Allah after the people had finished their obligatory prayer was for in vogue the time of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . Ibn Abbas said: I used to know by it when they finished the prayer and would listen to it (making the mention of Allah).

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Shortening the salutation is sunnah (commendable). The narrator 'Isa said: Ibn al-Mubarak prohibited me from reporting this tradition as a statement of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . Abu Dawud said: I heard Abu Umar 'Isa bin Yunus al-Fakhuri al-Ramil saying: When al-Firyabi returned from Makkah, he gave up narrating this tradition as a statement of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . He said: Ahmad bin Hanbal forbade to report this tradition directly from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم .

Ali bin Talq reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: When any of you breaks wind during prayer, he must withdraw, perform ablution, and repeat the prayer.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Cannot any one of you (according to the version of the narrator AbdulWarith) step forward or backward or at his right or left. The version of Hammad added: during prayer; that is, in supererogatory prayer.

Narrated Al-Azraq ibn Qays: An imam of ours, whose kunyah (surname) was Abu Rimthah, led us in prayer and said: I prayed this prayer, or one like it, with the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . Abu Bakr and Umar were standing in the front row on his right and there was a man who had been present at the first takbir in the prayer. The Prophet of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم offered the prayer, then gave the salutation to his right and his left so that we saw the whiteness of his cheeks, then turned away as Abu Rimthah (meaning himself) had done. The man who has been present with him at the first takbir in the prayer then got up to pray another prayer, whereupon Umar leaped up and, seizing him by the shoulders, shook him and said: Sit down, for the People of the Book perished for no other reason than that there was no interval between their prayers. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم raised his eyes and said: Allah has made you say what is right, son of al-Khattab. Abu Dawud said: Sometimes the name of Abu Umayyah is narrated instead of Abu Rimthah.

Abu Hurairah said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم led us in one of the evening (Asha) prayers, noon or afternoon. He led us in two Rak’ahs and gave the salutation. He then got up going towards a piece of wood which was placed in the front part of the mosque. He placed his hands upon it, one on the other, looking from his face as if he were angry. The people came out hastily saying: the prayer has been shortened. Abu Bakr and Umar were among the people, but they were too afraid to speak to him. A man whom the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم would call“ the possessor of arms”(Dhu al-Yadain) stood up (asking him): Have you forgotten. The Messenger of Allah, or has the prayer been shortened? He said: I have neither forgotten nor has it been shortened. He said: Messenger of Allah, you have forgotten. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم turned towards the people and asked: did the possessor of arms speak the truth? They made a sign, that is, yes. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم returned to his place and prayed the remaining two Rak’ahs, then gave the salutation; he then uttered the takbir and prostrated himself as usual or prolonged. He then raised his head and uttered the takbir; then he uttered the takbir and made prostration as usual or made longer (prostration). Then he raised his head his and uttered the takbir (Allah is most great). The narrator Muhammad was asked: Did he give the salutation (while prostrating) dueto forgetfulness? He said: I do not remember it from Abu Hurairah. But we Are sure that Imran bin Husain (in his version) said; he then gave the salutation.

This tradition has been narrated through a different chain of transmitters; but the version of Hammad is more perfect. This version goes; then the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم prayed; it does not have the words,“led us (in prayer), ”nor the words“they made a sign”. Thereupon the people said: Yes. He then raised his head. The version does not mention the words“he uttered the takbir. He then uttered the takbir and made the prostration as usual or prolonged it. He then raised his head”. The narrator then prostration as usual or prolonged it. He then raised his head”. The narrator then finished the tradition and did not mention the words that follow it. He did not mention the words“they made a sign”, but Hammad bin Zaid mentioned them in his version. Abu dawud said: Anyone who narrated this tradition did not mention the words“ then he uttered the takbir”, nor the words“he returned”

Abu Hurairah said ; The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم led us in prayer. He then narrated the same version reported by Hammad up to the words“we are sure that Imran bin Husain said: then he gave the salutation. ”The narrator said: I asked; What about the Tashahud? He replied: I did not hear thing about the tashahhud, but it is more liking to me that one should recite the tashahhud. This version has not the words“whom he called the possessor of arms (Dhu al-yadain). ”Nor the words“they made a sign, ”nor the word“anger”. The tradition narrated by Hammad from Ayyub is more perfect.
