أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ خَلَّادِ بْنِ رَافِعِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَمٍّ لَهُ بَدْرِيٍّ قَالَ
كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ جَالِسًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَدَخَلَ رَجُلٌ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَدْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَرْمُقُهُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ «ارْجِعْ فَصَلِّ فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ» فَرَجَعَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ «ارْجِعْ فَصَلِّ فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ» حَتَّى كَانَ عِنْدَ الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ لَقَدْ جَهَدْتُ وَحَرَصْتُ فَأَرِنِي وَعَلِّمْنِي قَالَ «إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ فَتَوَضَّأْ فَأَحْسِنْ وُضُوءَكَ ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ فَكَبِّرْ ثُمَّ اقْرَأْ ثُمَّ ارْكَعْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ رَاكِعًا ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ حَتَّى تَعْتَدِلَ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ سَاجِدًا ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ قَاعِدًا ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ سَاجِدًا ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ فَإِذَا أَتْمَمْتَ صَلَاتَكَ عَلَى هَذَا فَقَدْ تَمَّتْ وَمَا انْتَقَصْتَ مِنْ هَذَا فَإِنَّمَا تَنْتَقِصُهُ مِنْ صَلَاتِكَ»

✧ I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the mosque when a man entered and prayed two rak'ahs, then came and greeted the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ had been watching him during his prayer, so he returned his greeting, then said to him: “Go back and pray, for you have not prayed.” So he went back and prayed, then came and greeted the Prophet ﷺ, who returned his greeting and again said: “Go back and pray, for you have not prayed.” This continued until the third or fourth time, when the man said, “By the One who sent down the Book upon you, I have exerted myself and tried hard, so show me and teach me.” He said: “When you intend to pray, perform ablution and do it well, then face the qiblah and say the takbir, then recite, then bow until you are at ease in bowing, then rise until you are standing straight, then prostrate until you are at ease in prostration, then rise until you are at ease sitting, then prostrate until you are at ease in prostration, then rise. If you complete your prayer in this manner, it will be complete; and whatever you detract from this, you detract from your prayer.”
