And Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah and Abu Kurayb narrated it to us. They said: Abu Mu‘awiyah narrated to us, from al-A‘mash, with this chain of transmission.

Qutaybah ibn Sa‘id, Zuhayr ibn Harb, and Ishaq ibn Ibrahim narrated to us—the wording is Qutaybah’s. Ishaq said: “We were informed,” and the other two said: “We were narrated to”—from Jarir, from al-A‘mash, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: “Verily, when Satan hears the call to prayer, he turns away passing wind so that he does not hear its voice. When the call ceases, he returns and whispers. When he hears the iqamah, he departs so that he does not hear its voice. When it ceases, he returns and whispers.”

Narrated to me 'Abd al-Hamid ibn Bayan al-Wasiti: Khalid — meaning Ibn 'Abd Allah — narrated to us, from Suhayl, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "When the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan, the devil turns away in flight, passing wind."

Suhayl narrated: My father sent me to Banu Harithah, and with me was a slave of ours — or a companion of ours. A caller called out to him by name from a garden. He said: The one with me looked over the garden wall but saw nothing. I mentioned this to my father, and he said: Had I known that you would encounter this, I would not have sent you. But if you hear a voice, then call out the call to prayer (adhan), for I heard Abu Hurayrah narrating from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said: "Indeed, when the call to prayer is made, Satan turns away in retreat, passing wind."

Narrated Qutaybah ibn Sa'id: Al-Mughirah—meaning al-Hizami—reported from Abu al-Zinad, from al-A'raj, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Prophet ﷺ said: "When the call to prayer is made, Satan turns away in flight, passing wind, until he does not hear the call. When the call is finished, he returns, until when the iqamah for the prayer is given, he turns away again. When the iqamah is finished, he returns, until he whispers between a man and his own self, saying to him: 'Remember such-and-such, remember such-and-such,' of what he had not been remembering before, until the man remains not knowing how much he has prayed."

Narrated Muhammad ibn Rafi', from Abd al-Razzaq, from Ma'mar, from Hammam ibn Munabbih, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace be upon him) a similar report, except that he said: "Until a man may remain uncertain, not knowing how he prayed."

Yahya ibn Yahya al-Tamimi, Sa'id ibn Mansur, Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, 'Amr al-Naqid, Zuhayr ibn Harb, and Ibn Numayr all narrated to us from Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah—and the wording is that of Yahya—who said: Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah informed us, from al-Zuhri, from Salim, from his father, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, when he opened the prayer, raise his hands until they were level with his shoulders, and before he bowed, and when he raised from the bowing. And he did not raise them between the two prostrations.

Narrated to me Muhammad ibn Rafi', narrated to us 'Abd al-Razzaq, informed us Ibn Jurayj, narrated to me Ibn Shihab, from Salim ibn 'Abd Allah, that Ibn 'Umar said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stood for prayer, he raised his hands until they were level with his shoulders, then he said the takbir. And when he intended to bow, he did the same. And when he raised from the bowing, he did the same. But he did not do that when he raised his head from prostration.

Muhammad ibn Rafi' narrated to me, Hujayn — that is, ibn al-Muthanna — narrated to us, al-Layth narrated to us, from 'Uqayl. And Muhammad ibn 'Abdullah ibn Quhzadh narrated to me, Salamah ibn Sulayman narrated to us, Yunus informed us — both of them from al-Zuhri, with this chain of transmission, just as Ibn Jurayj said: When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, stood for prayer, he raised his hands until they were level with his shoulders, then he said the takbir.

Yahya ibn Yahya narrated to us: Khalid ibn Abdullah informed us, from Khalid, from Abu Qilabah, that he saw Malik ibn al-Huwayrith, when he prayed, say the takbir, then raise his hands; and when he intended to bow, he raised his hands; and when he raised his head from the bowing, he raised his hands. And he narrated that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to do likewise.

Narrated to me Abu Kamil al-Jahdari: narrated to us Abu 'Awanah, from Qatadah, from Nasr ibn 'Asim, from Malik ibn al-Huwayrith, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when he said the takbir, raised his hands until they were level with his ears; and when he bowed in ruku', he raised his hands until they were level with his ears; and when he raised his head from ruku' and said, "Allah hears the one who praises Him," he did the same.

And Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated it to us, Ibn Abi 'Adi narrated to us, from Sa'id, from Qatadah, with this chain of transmission, that he saw the Prophet of Allah, peace be upon him, and he said: "until he aligned them with the tops of his ears."

And Yahya ibn Yahya narrated to us, saying: I read to Malik from Ibn Shihab, from Abu Salama ibn Abd al-Rahman, that Abu Hurayra used to lead them in prayer and would say the takbir whenever he bowed and whenever he raised himself. When he finished the prayer, he said: "By Allah, I am the one among you whose prayer most closely resembles that of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him."

Muhammad ibn Rafi' narrated to us, 'Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Ibn Jurayj informed us, Ibn Shihab informed me, on the authority of Abu Bakr ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, that he heard Abu Hurayrah say: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood for prayer, he would say the takbir when he stood, then say the takbir when he bowed, then say "Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah" (Allah hears the one who praises Him) when he raised his back from the bowing position, then say while standing, "Rabbana wa laka al-hamd" (Our Lord, and to You be praise). Then he would say the takbir when he went down to prostrate, then say the takbir when he raised his head, then say the takbir when he prostrated, then say the takbir when he raised his head. Then he would do the same throughout the entire prayer until he finished it, and he would say the takbir when he stood up from the second rak'ah after sitting. Then Abu Hurayrah said: Indeed, I am the one among you whose prayer most closely resembles that of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

Muhammad ibn Rafi' narrated to me, saying: Hujayn narrated to us, saying: al-Layth narrated to us, from 'Uqayl, from Ibn Shihab, who said: Abu Bakr ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Harith informed me that he heard Abu Hurayrah say: When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, stood for prayer, he would say the takbir when he stood — similar to the hadith of Ibn Jurayj, but he did not mention the statement of Abu Hurayrah: "Indeed, I am the one among you whose prayer most resembles that of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him."

And Harmalah ibn Yahya narrated to me, saying: Ibn Wahb informed us, saying: Yunus informed me, from Ibn Shihab, who said: Abu Salamah ibn Abd al-Rahman informed me that Abu Hurayrah—when Marwan appointed him as governor over Medina—used to say the takbir upon standing for the obligatory prayer. Then he mentioned a narration similar to that of Ibn Jurayj. And in his narration: When he finished the prayer and gave the salutation, he turned to the people of the mosque and said: "By Him in whose hand my soul is, I am the one among you whose prayer most closely resembles that of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him."

Muhammad ibn Mihran al-Razi narrated to us, al-Walid ibn Muslim narrated to us, al-Awza'i narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Abu Salama, that Abu Hurayrah used to say "Allahu akbar" in prayer every time he raised and lowered. So we said, "O Abu Hurayrah, what is this takbir?" He said, "Indeed, this is the prayer of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him."

Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, Ya'qub — meaning Ibn 'Abd al-Rahman — narrated to us, from Suhayl, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, that he used to say the takbir whenever he bowed and prostrated, and he would relate that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to do that.

Yahya ibn Yahya and Khalaf ibn Hisham narrated to us, both from Hammad — Yahya said: Hammad ibn Zayd informed us — from Ghaylan, from Mutarrif, who said: I prayed with 'Imran ibn Husayn behind 'Ali ibn Abi Talib. When he prostrated, he said the takbir; when he raised his head, he said the takbir; and when he stood up after the two rak'ahs, he said the takbir. When we finished the prayer, 'Imran took my hand and said: "This man has led us in the prayer of Muhammad, peace be upon him." Or he said: "This man has reminded me of the prayer of Muhammad, peace be upon him."

Narrated to us Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, and 'Amr al-Naqid, and Ishaq ibn Ibrahim, all from Sufyan — Abu Bakr said: narrated to us Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah — from al-Zuhri, from Mahmud ibn al-Rabi', from 'Ubadah ibn al-Samit, who conveyed it to the Prophet ﷺ: "There is no prayer for the one who does not recite the Opening of the Book."
