1.718:
Narrated `Aisha:
I asked Allah's Apostle about looking hither and thither in
prayer. He replied, "It is a way of stealing by which Satan
takes away (a portion) from the prayer of a person."
1.719:
Narrated `Aisha:
Once the Prophet prayed on a Khamisa with marks on it and
said, "The marks on it diverted my attention, take this
Khamisa to Abu Jahm and bring an Inbijaniya (from him.)"
1.720:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet saw expectoration in the
direction of the Qibla of the mosque while he was leading the
prayer, and scratched it off. After finishing the prayer, he
said, "Whenever any of you is in prayer he should know that
Allah is in front of him. So none should spit in front of him
in the prayer."
1.721:
Narrated Anas:
While the Muslims were offering the Fajr prayer, Allah's
Apostle suddenly appeared before them by living the curtain of
the dwelling place of `Aisha, looked towards the Muslims who
were standing in rows. He smiled with pleasure. Abu Bakr
started retreating to join the row on the assumption that the
Prophet wanted to come out for the prayer. The Muslims
intended to leave the prayer (and were on the verge of being
put to trial), but the Prophet beckoned them to complete their
prayer and then he let the curtain fall. He died in the last
hours of that day.
1.722:
Narrated Jabir bin Samura: The People of Kufa complained
against Sa`d to `Umar and the latter dismissed him and
appointed `Ammar as their chief . They lodged many complaints
against Sa`d and even they alleged that he did not pray
properly. `Umar sent for him and said, "O Aba 'Is−haq! These
people claim that you do not pray properly." Abu 'Is−haq said,
"By Allah, I used to pray with them a prayer similar to that
of Allah's Apostle and I never reduced anything of it. I used
to prolong the first two rak`at of `Isha prayer and shorten
the last two rak`at." `Umar said, "O Aba 'Is−haq, this was
what I thought about you." And then he sent one or more
persons with him to Kufa so as to ask the people about him. So
they went there and did not leave any mosque without asking
about him. All the people praised him till they came to the
mosque of the tribe of Bani `Abs; one of the men called Usama
bin Qatada with a surname of Aba Sa`da stood up and said, "As
you have put us under an oath; I am bound to tell you that
Sa`d never went himself with the army and never distributed
(the war booty) equally and never did justice in legal
verdicts." (On hearing it) Sa`d said, "I pray to Allah for
three things: O Allah! If this slave of yours is a liar and
got up for showing off, give him a long life, increase his
poverty and put him to trials." (And so it happened). Later on
when that person was asked how he was, he used to reply that
he was an old man in trial as the result of Sa`d's curse.
`Abdul Malik, the sub narrator, said that he had seen him
afterwards and his eyebrows were overhanging his eyes owing to
old age and he used to tease and assault the small girls in
the way.
1.723:
Narrated 'Ubada bin As−Samit: Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever
does not recite Al−Fatiha in his prayer, his prayer is
invalid."
1.724:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle entered the mosque and a
person followed him. The man prayed and went to the Prophet
and greeted him. The Prophet returned the greeting and said to
him, "Go back and pray, for you have not prayed." The man went
back prayed in the same way as before, returned and greeted
the Prophet who said, "Go back and pray, for you have not
prayed." This happened thrice. The man said, "By Him Who sent
you with the Truth, I cannot offer the prayer in a better way
than this. Please, teach me how to pray." The Prophet said,
"When you stand for Prayer say Takbir and then recite from the
Holy Qur'an (of what you know by heart) and then bow till you
feel at ease. Then raise your head and stand up straight, then
prostrate till you feel at ease during your prostration, then
sit with calmness till you feel at ease (do not hurry) and do
the same in all your prayers.
1.725:
Narrated Jabir bin Samura: Sa`d said, "I used to pray with
them a prayer similar to that of Allah's Apostle (the prayer
of Zuhr and `Asr) reducing nothing from them. I used to
prolong the first two rak`at and shorten the last two rak`at."
`Umar said to Sa`d "This was what we thought about you."
