Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began the prayer, he said the takbir, and we also said the takbir following him. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) signaled to those present to remain as they were, so we remained standing until the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us. He had performed ghusl and water droplets were dripping from his head. The narrator named Abdulwahab has narrated this in the opposite manner.
