bowing." Abu Qatadah related that the Prophet, upon whom be peace, said, "The worst pepole are the thieves who steal part
of the prayer." He was asked how this was done, and he replied, "He does not complete his bowings and prostrations," or he
said, "He does not straighten his back during his bowings and prostrations."

Hadith 792 Narrated by
Wa'il ibn Hujr
Wa'il saw the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) raising his hands at the time of beginning the prayer and reciting takbir,
and according to Hammam (the narrator), the hands were lifted opposite to ears. He (the Prophet) then wrapped his hands in
his cloth and placed his right hand over his left hand. And when he was about to bow down, he brought out his hands from
the cloth, and then lifted them, and then recited takbir and bowed down, and when (he came back to the erect position) he
recited: Allah listened to him who praised Him." And when prostrated, he prostrated between the two palms.

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) while teaching us (the principles of faith), said: Do not try to go ahead of the
Imam, recite takbir when he recites it, and when he says: " Nor of those who err," you should say Amin, bow down when he
bows down, and when he says: "Allah listens to him who praises Him," say: "O Allah, our Lord, to Thee be the praise."
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
Hadith 5918
AbuMusa
Narrated by
AbuTalib went to ash-Sham (Syria) accompanied by the Prophet (may Allah bless him) along with some shaykhs of
Quraysh. When they came near where the monk was they alighted and loosened their baggage, and the monk came out to
them although when they had passed that way previously he had not done so. While they were loosening their baggage the
monk began to go about among them till he came and, taking Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) by the hand, said,
"This is the chief of the universe; this is the messenger of the the Lord of the universe whom Allah is commissioning as a
mercy to the universe." Some shaykhs of Quraysh asked him how he knew, and he replied, "When you came over the hill not
a tree or a stone failed to bow in prostration, and they prostrate themselves only before a prophet. I recognize him by the
seal of prophecy, like an apple, below the end of his shoulder-blade." He then went and prepared food for them, and when he
brought it to them the Prophet (peace be upon him) was looking after the camels, so he told them to send for him. He came
with a cloud above him shading him and when he approached the people he found they had gone before him into the shade
of a tree. Then when he sat down the shade of the tree inclined over him, and the monk said, "Look how the shade of the tree
has inclined over him. I adjure you by Allah to tell me which of you is his guardian." On being told that it was AbuTalib he kept
adjuring him to send him back until he did so. AbuBakr sent Bilal along with him and the monk gave him provisions of a bread
and olive-oil.
Tirmidhi transmitted it.

when thirty or forty verses remained from the recitation he would get up and recite them while standing and then he would
