Sunan Abi Dawud 861

Translation

Then perform ablution in a way Allah, the exalted, has command you, then say the shahadah and get up and say the takbir. Then if you know any of the Qur’an, recite it; otherwise say: “Praise be to Allah”; “Allah is most great”; “ There is no god but Allah” He ( the narrator) also said in this version: If some defect remains in this, that detect will remain in your prayer.

Rāfiʿ al-Zuraqī informed me, from his father, from his grandfather, from Rifāʿah b. Rāfiʿ, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ related this hadith, and he said in it: "Perform ablution as Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has commanded you, then recite the testification of faith, then say the iqāmah, then say the takbīr. If you know some Quran, recite it; otherwise praise Allah, declare His greatness, and declare that there is no god but Him." And he said in it: "If you reduce anything of it, you will have reduced from your prayer." Report a problem
