Reciting aloud in Fajr prayer.
Narrated Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) recited aloud in those prayers in which he was commanded to do so, and remained silent in those in which he was commanded to do so. And "Your Lord is not forgetful" (that He would give a wrong command by mistake. Surah Maryam: 64). "Indeed, for you in the Messenger of Allah (the actions and sayings) is a good example." (Surah Al-Ahzab: 21).

Reciting two surahs in one rak‘ah, or out of order, or only part of a surah.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to him and said: "I recited a Mufassal surah in one rak'ah at night," and he said, "I recited it as quickly as poetry is recited." Indeed, I know those similar surahs which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to recite together, then he mentioned twenty Mufassal surahs (that from these) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to recite two surahs in each rak'ah.

Only Al-Fatiha is recited in the last two rak‘ahs.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to recite Surah Al-Fatihah and two other surahs in the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr, and in the last two rak'ahs (only) Umm al-Kitab (i.e., Surah Al-Fatihah). And sometimes he would make us hear a verse, and he would prolong the first rak'ah more than the second, and the same was the case in Asr and likewise in Fajr.

Imam saying Ameen aloud.

Bowing behind the row—what is the ruling?
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he reached the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) while he was in the state of bowing (ruku‘), so before joining the row, he performed ruku‘. He mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "May Allah increase your eagerness (for good deeds), but do not do this again."

Completing Takbir upon reaching bowing.
‘Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) says that he performed prayer with the Commander of the Faithful, Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), in Basra, so the Commander of the Faithful, Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), reminded us of the prayer which we used to perform with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Then (Sayyiduna Imran, may Allah be pleased with him) said that when he would stand up and when he would bow down, he would say the takbir (that is, Allahu Akbar).
