Hadith 10.1

ENGLISH

Abu Huraira said that when God’s Messenger got up to pray he would say the <i>takbir</i> when standing, then say the <i>takbir</i> when bowing, then say, “God listens to him who praises Him” when coming to an erect position after bowing, then say while standing, “To You, our Lord, be the praise,” then say the <i>takbir</i> when getting down for prostration, then say the <i>takbir</i> when he raised his head, then say the <i>takbir</i> when he prostrated himself, then say the <i>takbir</i> when he raised his head. He would do that throughout the whole prayer till he finished it, and he would say the <i>takbir</i> when he got up at the end of two <i>rak'as</i> after adopting the sitting posture. (Bukhari and Muslim.)
