Hadith 123
Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat)
‘Ali b. Ali Talib said:
When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up for (offering) obligatory prayer, he uttered the takbir (Allah is most great) and raised his hands opposite to his shoulders, and he did so when he finished the recitation (of the Qur’an) and when he was about to bow; and he did like that when he raised (his head) after bowing. He did not raise his hands in prayer when he was sitting. When he stood at the end of two rak’ahs, he raised his hands in a similar way and uttered the takbir and supplicated in a more or less the same manner as narrated by ‘Abd al-‘Aziz in his version. This version does not mention the words “All good is in Your Hands and evil does not pertain to You.” And this adds: He said when he finished the prayer: “O Allah, forgive me my former and latter sins, my open and secret sins; You are my deity; there is no God but You.
