Sahih al-Bukhari 803

Hadith text

Narrated Abu Bakr bin `Abdur Rahman Ibn Harith bin Hisham and Abu Salama bin `Abdur Rahman:Abu Huraira used to say Takbir in all the prayers, compulsory and optional -- in the month of Ramadan or other months. He used to say Takbir on standing for prayer and on bowing; then he would say, "Sami`a l-lahu liman hamidah," and before prostrating he would say "Rabbana wa laka lhamd." Then he would say Takbir on prostrating and on raising his head from the prostration, then another Takbir on prostrating (for the second time), and on raising his head from the prostration. He also would say the Takbir on standing from the second rak`a. He used to do the same in every rak`a till he completed the prayer. On completion of the prayer, he would say, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is! No doubt my prayer is closer to that of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) than yours, and this was His prayer till he left this world

Abu Bakr bin Abdur Rahman Ibn Harith bin Hisham aur Abu Salama bin Abdur Rahman bataate hain: Abu Huraira sab namazon mein Takbir kehte the — farz ho ya nafil, Ramadan mein ho ya doosre mahine mein. Woh namaz shuru karte waqt aur ruku ke waqt Takbir kehte; phir "Sami' Allahu liman hamidah" kehte, aur sajda se pehle "Rabbana wa lakal-hamd" kehte. Phir sajda karte waqt Takbir aur sar uthate waqt bhi Takbir kehte, phir dobara sajda karte waqt Takbir aur sar uthate waqt Takbir. Doosri rakat se uthte waqt bhi Takbir kehte. Har rakat mein yehi karte yahan tak ke namaz mukammal ho jaati. Namaz khatam karke woh kehte: "Us zaat ki qasam jiske haath mein meri jaan hai, meri namaz tum sabse zyada Allah ke Rasool ki namaz jaisi hai, aur yehi unki namaz thi duniya se jaane tak."
