Hadith text

Narrated Abu Huraira:A man entered the mosque while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting in one side of the mosque. The man prayed, came, and greeted the Prophet. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him, "Wa 'Alaikas Salam (returned his greeting). Go back and pray as you have not prayed (properly)." The man returned, repeated his prayer, came back and greeted the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Wa alaika-s-Salam (returned his greeting). Go back and pray again as you have not prayed (properly)." The man said at the second or third time, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Kindly teach me how to pray". The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When you stand for prayer, perform ablution properly and then face the Qibla and say Takbir (Allahu-Akbar), and then recite what you know from the Qur'an, and then bow with calmness till you feel at ease then rise from bowing, till you stand straight, and then prostrate calmly (and remain in prostration) till you feel at ease, and then raise (your head) and sit with calmness till you feel at ease and then prostrate with calmness (and remain in prostration) till you feel at ease, and then raise (your head) and sit with calmness till you feel at ease in the sitting position, and do likewise in whole of your prayer." And Abu Usama added, "Till you stand straight." (See Hadith No. 759, Vol)

Abu Huraira bataate hain: Ek shaks Masjid mein daakhil hua jabke Allah ke Rasool (SAW) Masjid ke ek taraf baithe hue the. Us shaks ne namaz padhi, aaya, aur Nabi (SAW) ko salaam kiya. Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne kaha, 'Wa Alaikas Salaam' (unka salaam laut aaya). 'Wapas jao aur namaz padho, kyunke tumne (sahi tareeke se) namaz nahi padhi.' Wo shaks wapas gaya, apni namaz dohraayi, wapas aaya aur Nabi (SAW) ko salaam kiya. Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Wa Alaikas Salaam' (unka salaam laut aaya). 'Wapas jao aur dobara namaz padho, kyunke tumne (sahi tareeke se) namaz nahi padhi.' Wo shaks doosri ya teesri baar bola, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Barah-e-meharbaani mujhe namaz padhna sikhaiye.' Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Jab tum namaz ke liye khade ho, sahi tareeke se wuzu karo, phir Qibla ki taraf muh karo aur Takbeer kaho (Allahu Akbar), phir Quran mein se jo tumhein aata hai wo padho, phir sukoon se ruku karo yahaan tak ke tumhein aaraam mehsoos ho, phir ruku se uthkar seedhe khade ho jao, phir sukoon se sajda karo (aur sajde mein raho) yahaan tak ke tumhein aaraam mehsoos ho, phir (apna sar) uthaao aur sukoon se baitho yahaan tak ke tumhein aaraam mehsoos ho, phir sukoon se sajda karo (aur sajde mein raho) yahaan tak ke tumhein aaraam mehsoos ho, phir (apna sar) uthaao aur baithne ki haalat mein sukoon se baitho yahaan tak ke tumhein aaraam mehsoos ho, aur apni poori namaz mein aisa hi karo.' Aur Abu Usama ne izaafa kiya, 'Yahaan tak ke tum seedhe khade ho jao.' (Poori tafseel ke liye Hadees No. 759, Jild 1 dekhein.)
