Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade iq'a' in prayer (that is, sitting like a beast of prey with the buttocks on the ground and the knees raised). This hadith is sahih on the condition of Imam Bukhari, but the two Shaykhs did not record it, while there is a narration permitting iq'a' (sitting on the heels) that is sahih on the condition of Imam Muslim:

Tawus (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) about iq'a' (in prayer), that is, sitting on the heels between the two prostrations, and he said: It is Sunnah. I said: We regard it as a kind of harshness or coarseness. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: (It is not so; rather,) it is the Sunnah.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) relates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade a man who was sitting in prayer leaning on his left hand, and said: "Indeed, this is the prayer (manner) of the Jews." This hadith is sahih on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it.

Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are two steps: one of them is most beloved to Allah, and the other is the most hated of steps to Allah. As for the step that Allah loves, it is that of a man who sees a gap in the row and fills it. As for the step that Allah hates, it is that when a man wants to stand up (from prostration), he stretches out his right foot, places his hand on it (keeps the left foot firm) and stands up." This hadith is sahih on the condition of Imam Muslim, since he used Baqiyyah (bin al-Walid) as evidence in supporting narrations, yet the two Shaykhs did not record it. When Baqiyyah bin al-Walid narrates from well-known teachers, he is reliable and accepted.

Ibn Abd al-Rahman bin Abza narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Abza (may Allah be pleased with him), that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the salam (at the end of the prayer), he would say three times in a raised voice: 'Subhanal-Malikil-Quddus' (Glory be to the King, the Most Holy, free of every defect). Abd al-Rahman bin Abza is among those about whom it is established with us that he prayed with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), although most of his narrations are from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) and other Companions. This chain is sahih on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it.

Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that one day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of my hand and said: "O Mu'adh, by Allah, I truly love you." Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransomed for you, by Allah, I love you too. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Mu'adh, I advise you never to abandon saying these words at the end of every prayer: 'Allahumma a'inni 'ala dhikrika wa shukrika wa husni 'ibadatik' (O Allah, help me to remember You, to thank You and to worship You in the best manner)." Then Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) passed this advice on to al-Sunabihi, al-Sunabihi to Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Hubuli, and Abu Abd al-Rahman to Uqbah bin Muslim. This hadith is sahih on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to make this supplication at the end of his prayer: 'Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min 'adhabil-qabr, wa min 'adhabin-nar, wa min fitnatil-mahya wal-mamat, wa min sharril-Masihid-Dajjal' (O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, from the punishment of the Fire, from the trial of life and death, and from the evil of the False Messiah (al-Dajjal)). This hadith is sahih on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it!

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you come to the prayer while we are in prostration, then prostrate too, but do not count it (as a rak'ah). Whoever catches the rak'ah (with the bowing) has caught the prayer." This hadith is sahih; the two Shaykhs used all of its narrators as evidence except Yahya bin Abi Sulayman, who was an elder (shaykh) of the people of Madinah who settled in Egypt, and no criticism (jarh) of him has been reported.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has prayed one rak'ah of the dawn (Fajr) prayer and then the sun rises, let him (complete and) pray his dawn prayer." This hadith is sahih on the condition of the two Shaykhs, provided that it is preserved with this chain, since Ahmad bin Atiq al-Marwazi is trustworthy; however, he also narrated it on another occasion with a different chain:

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever prays one rak'ah of the Fajr prayer and then the sun rises, let him complete his prayer." Both of these chains are sahih (authentic), for both of them (Bukhari and Muslim) used Khilas bin Amr as evidence in a supporting role (shahid).
