Ubaydullah ibn Mu'adh al-Anbari narrated to us, my father narrated to us, Shu'ba narrated to us from al-Hakam, who said: A man — whose name he mentioned — dominated Kufa during the time of Ibn al-Ash'ath. He ordered Abu Ubayda ibn Abdullah (ibn Mas'ud) to lead the people in prayer. When he would raise his head from bowing, he stood so long that I could recite: 'O Allah, our Lord, unto You be the praise that fills the heavens and fills the earth and fills whatever else You wish. Worthy are You of all praise and glory. None can prevent what You bestow and none can bestow what You prevent, and the greatness of the great will not avail him against You.' Al-Hakam said: I mentioned this to Hadrat Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, and he said: I heard Hadrat al-Bara' ibn Azib (may Allah be well pleased with him) say: The prayer of the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) — his standing, his bowing, when he raised his head from bowing, his prostration, and his sitting between the two prostrations — were all nearly equal. Shu'ba said: I mentioned this to Amr ibn Murra, and he said: I saw Ibn Abi Layla, but his prayer was not like that.
