It was narrated from Abū Hurayrah (may Allāh be pleased with him) that he said, “When the Messenger of Allāh (May Allāh praise him and Peace be upon him) used to stand for prayer, he would say Allāhu Akbar when he stood up. Then he would say Allāhu Akbar when he bowed. Then he who say sami’Allāhu liman ḥamidah (Allāh hears and answers those who praise Him) when he straightened up from bowing. Then while standing, he would say Rabbanā laka al ḥamd (Our Lord, to You alone belongs the praise). Then he would say Allāhu Akbar as he went down. Then he would say Allāhu Akbar when he lifted his head. Then he would say Allāhu Akbar as he prostrated. Then he would say Allāhu Akbar when he lifted his head. He would do that throughout his prayer until the end and he would say Allāhu Akbar when standing up from sitting and the end of two rak’ahs. [Reported by Imam Bukhārī: 789]
