Abu Humaid al-Saeedi once told a company of ten of the companions of the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ; Abu Qatadah was one of them: I am one among you who is more informed of the way the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم prayed. They said: Why, By Allah, you did not follow him more than us, nor did you remain in his company longer than us? He said: Yes. They said: Then describe (how the Prophet prayed). He said: When the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم stood up to pray, he raised his hands so as to bring them opposite his shoulders, and uttered the takbir (Allah is the most great), until every bone rested in its place properly: then re recited (some verses from the Quran); then he uttered the takbir (Allah is most great), raising his hands so as to bring them opposite his shoulders; then he bowed; placing the palms of his hands on his knees and keeping himself straight, neither raising nor lowering his head; then raised his head saying: “Allah listens to him who praise Him”; then raised his hands so as to bring them exactly opposite to his shoulders; then uttered: “Allah is most great”; then lowered himself to the ground (in prostration), keeping his arms away from his sides; then raised his head, bent his left foot and sat on it, and opened the toes when he prostrated: then he uttered: “Allah is most great”; then raised his head, bent his left foot and sat on it so that every bone returned to its place properly; then he did the same in the second (rak’ah). At the end of the two Rak’ahs he stood up and uttered the takbir (Allah is most great), raising his hands so as to bring them opposite to his shoulders; then he bowed, placing the palms of his hands on his knees and keeping himself straight, neither raising or lowering his head: then raised his head saying: “Allah listens to him who praises Him”; then raised his hands so as to bring them exactly opposite his shoulders; then uttered: “Allah is most great”; then lowered himself to the ground (in prostration), keeping his arms away from his sides; then raised his head, bent his left foot and sat on it, and opened the toes when he prostrated himself; then he prostrated; then uttered: “Allah is most great”; then raised his head, bent his left foot and sat on it so that every bone returned to its place properly; then he did the same in the second (rak’ah). At the end of two rak’ahs he stood up and uttered the takbir (Allah is most great), raising his hands so as to bring them opposite to his shoulders in the way he had uttered the Takbir (Allah is most great) at the beginning of the prayer; then he did that in the remainder of his prayer; and after prostration which if followed by the taslim (salutation) he out his left foot and sat on his left hip. They said: You have spoken the truth. This is how he صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم used to pray.

عبدالحمید بن جعفر کہتے ہیں کہ مجھے محمد بن عمرو بن عطاء نے خبر دی ہے کہ   میں نے ابو حمید ساعدی رضی اللہ عنہ کو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے دس صحابہ کرام کے درمیان جن میں ابوقتادہ رضی اللہ عنہ بھی تھے کہتے سنا: میں آپ لوگوں میں سب سے زیادہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی نماز کے بارے میں جانتا ہوں، لوگوں نے کہا: وہ کیسے؟ اللہ کی قسم آپ ہم سے زیادہ نہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی پیروی کرتے تھے، نہ ہم سے پہلے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی صحبت میں آئے تھے۔ ابوحمید رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہا: ہاں یہ ٹھیک ہے ( لیکن مجھے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کا طریقہ نماز زیادہ یاد ہے ) اس پر لوگوں نے کہا: ( اگر آپ زیادہ جانتے ہیں ) تو پیش کیجئیے۔ ابوحمید رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہا: رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم جب نماز کے لیے کھڑے ہوتے تو اپنے دونوں ہاتھ کندھوں کے بالمقابل اٹھاتے، پھر تکبیر ( تکبیر تحریمہ ) کہتے یہاں تک کہ ہر ہڈی اپنے مقام پر سیدھی ہو جاتی، پھر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم قرآت کرتے، پھر «الله أكبر» کہتے، اور دونوں ہاتھ اٹھاتے یہاں تک کہ انہیں اپنے دونوں کندھوں کے مقابل کر لیتے، پھر رکوع کرتے اور اپنی دونوں ہتھیلیوں کو اپنے دونوں گھٹنوں پر رکھتے، اور رکوع میں پیٹھ اور سر سیدھا رکھتے، سر کو نہ زیادہ جھکاتے اور نہ ہی پیٹھ سے بلند رکھتے، پھر اپنا سر اٹھاتے اور «سمع الله لمن حمده» کہتے، پھر اپنا دونوں ہاتھ اٹھاتے یہاں تک کہ سیدھا ہو کر انہیں اپنے دونوں کندھوں کے مقابل کرتے پھر «الله أكبر» کہتے، پھر زمین کی طرف جھکتے تو اپنے دونوں ہاتھ اپنے دونوں پہلووں سے جدا رکھتے، پھر اپنا سر اٹھاتے اور اپنے بائیں پیر کو موڑتے اور اس پر بیٹھتے اور جب سجدہ کرتے تو اپنے دونوں پیر کی انگلیوں کو نرم رکھتے اور ( دوسرا ) سجدہ کرتے پھر «الله أكبر» کہتے اور ( دوسرے سجدہ سے ) اپنا سر اٹھاتے اور اپنا بایاں پیر موڑتے اور اس پر بیٹھتے یہاں تک کہ ہر ہڈی اپنی جگہ پر واپس آ جاتی، پھر دوسری رکعت میں بھی ایسا ہی کرتے پھر جب دوسری رکعت سے اٹھتے تو «الله أكبر» کہتے، اور اپنے دونوں ہاتھ اٹھاتے یہاں تک کہ انہیں اپنے دونوں کندھوں کے بالمقابل لے جاتے جس طرح کہ نماز شروع کرنے کے وقت «الله أكبر» کہا تھا، پھر اپنی بقیہ نماز میں بھی اسی طرح کرتے یہاں تک کہ جب اس سجدہ سے فارغ ہوتے جس میں سلام پھیرنا ہوتا، تو اپنے بائیں پیر کو اپنے داہنے پیر کے نیچے سے نکال کر اپنی بائیں سرین پر بیٹھتے ( پھر سلام پھیرتے ) ۔ اس پر ان لوگوں نے کہا: آپ نے سچ کہا، اسی طرح آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نماز پڑھتے تھے۔
