It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that when the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
said: “Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise
Him),” he said: “Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (O our Lord, to You is the
praise).”

It was
narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: “When the Imam says: ‘Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears
those who praise Him),’ say: ‘Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (O our Lord,
to
You is the praise).’”

It was
narrated from Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri that he heard the Messenger
of
Allah (ﷺ) say: “When the Imam says: ‘Sami’ Allahu liman
hamidah
(Allah hears those who praise Him),’ say: ‘Allahumma,
Rabbana wa
lakal-hamd (O Allah! O our Lord! To You is the praise).’”

It was
narrated that Ibn Abu Awfa said: “When the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
raised his head from Ruku’, he said: ‘Sami’ Allahu liman
hamidah, Allahumma, Rabbana lakal-hamd, mil’ as-samawati wa mil’
al-
ard wa mil’ ma shi’ta min shay’in ba’d (Allah hears those
who praise
Him. O Allah! O our Lord, to You is the praise as much as
fills the
heavens, as much as fills the earth and as much as You will
after
that).’”

It was
narrated that Abu ‘Umar said: “I heard Abu Juhaifah say: Good
fortune was mentioned in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
while he was performing prayer. A man said: ‘so-and-so’s fortune
is in
horses.’ Another man said: ‘So-and-so’s fortune is in
camels.’ Another
man said: ‘So-and-so’s fortune is in sheep.’
Another man said: ‘So-
and-so’s fortune is in slaves.’ While the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was
finishing his prayer, he raised his head
at the end of the last Rak’ah
and said: ‘Allahumma Rabbana
lakal-hamd mil’ as-samawati wa mil’ al-
ard wa mil’ ma shi’ta
min shai’in ba’du. Allahumma la mani’ lima
a’taita wa la
mu’ti lima mana’ta, wa la yanfa’u dhal-jaddi minkal-jadd
(Allah
hears those who praise Him. O Allah! O our Lord! To You is the
praise
as much as fills the heavens, as much as fills the earth and as
much
as You will after that. O Allah, there is none who can withhold
what
You give, and none who can give what You withhold, and the good
fortune of any fortunate person is to no avail against You).’ The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) elongated the word Jadd (fortune) so that
they would know that it was not as they had said.”

It was
narrated from Maimunah that when the Prophet (ﷺ) prostrated,
he
would hold his forearms away from his sides, such that if a lamb
wanted to pass under his arms, it would be able to do so.

It was
narrated from (`Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah) bin Aqram Al-Khuza`i
that his father said: “I was with my father on the plain in
Namirah,*
when some riders passed us and made their camels kneel down
at the
side of the road. My father said to me: ‘Stay with your
lambs until I
go to those people and see what they want.’ He said:
Then he (my
father) went out and I came, (i.e., I came near,) then
there was the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and the time for prayer came
so I prayed
with them, and I was looking at the whiteness of the
armpits of the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) every time he prostrated.” Ibn Majah said: The people say `Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah, but Abu Bakr bin Abu Shaibah said: “The people say `Abdullah bin `Ubaidullah.” Muhammad bin Bashshar said: “`Abdur-Rahman bin Mahdi, Safwan bin `Eisa and Abu Dawud all said: ‘Dawud bin Qais narrated to us, from `Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah bin Aqram, from his father, from the Prophet (ﷺ).’” With similar wording.

It was
narrated that Wa’il bin Hujr said: “I saw the Prophet (ﷺ)
when
he prostrated and put his knees on the ground before his hands,
and
when he stood up after prostrating, he took his hands off the
ground
before his knees.”

It was
narrated that Wa’il bin Hujr said: “I said: ‘I will look at
the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and see how he performs the prayer.’ He
stood up and faced the Qiblah, and raised his hands until they were
parallel to his ears. When he bowed, he raised them likewise, and
when
he raised his head from Ruku’, he raised them likewise.”

It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “I have
been commanded to prostrate on seven bones.”
