Hadith text

Narrated Abu Huraira:Once the Prophet (ﷺ) entered the mosque, a man came in, offered the prayer and greeted the Prophet. The Prophet returned his greeting and said to him, "Go back and pray again for you have not prayed." The man offered the prayer again, came back and greeted the Prophet. He said to him thrice, "Go back and pray again for you have not prayed." The man said, "By Him Who has sent you with the truth! I do not know a better way of praying. Kindly teach Me how to pray." He said, "When you stand for the prayer, say Takbir and then recite from the Qur'an what you know and then bow with calmness till you feel at ease, then rise from bowing till you stand straight. Afterwards prostrate calmly till you feel at ease and then raise (your head) and sit with Calmness till you feel at ease and then prostrate with calmness till you feel at ease in prostration and do the same in the whole of your prayer

Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) se riwayat hai ke ek baar Nabi masjid mein daakhil hue, ek shaks aaya, namaz padhi aur Nabi ko salaam kiya. Nabi ne salaam ka jawab diya aur farmaya: "Wapas jaao aur dobara padho, kyunke tumne namaz nahi padhi." Woh shaks dobara namaz padh kar aaya aur salaam kiya. Aap ne teen baar farmaya: "Wapas jaao aur dobara padho, kyunke tumne namaz nahi padhi." Shaks ne kaha: "Us zaat ki qasam jisne aapko haqq ke saath bheja, mujhe isse behtar tareeka nahi aata. Mujhe sikhaiye kaise padhun." Nabi ne farmaya: "Jab namaz ke liye khado, Takbir kaho, phir jo Quran yaad ho tilawat karo, phir sukoon se ruku karo yahan tak ke sukoon mehsoos karo, phir ruku se seedhe khade ho jao. Phir sukoon se sajda karo yahan tak ke sajde mein sukoon mehsoos karo, phir sar utha kar sukoon se baitho yahan tak ke sukoon mehsoos karo, phir sukoon se sajda karo yahan tak ke sajde mein sukoon mehsoos karo, aur poori namaz mein yehi karo."
