Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَدَخَلَ رَجُلٌ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَجَلَسَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «ارْجِعْ فَصَلِّ فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ» حَتَّى فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَعْرِفُ غَيْرَ هَذَا فَعَلِّمْنِي قَالَ «إِذَا قُمْتُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَكَبِّرْ وَاقْرَأْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ثُمَّ ارْكَعْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ رَاكِعًا ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ حَتَّى تَعْتَدِلَ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ سَاجِدًا ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ جَالِسًا وَافْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فِي صَلَاتِكَ كُلِّهَا»
English Translation
Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) entered the mosque, and a man entered and prayed, then came and sat. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'Go back and pray, for you have not prayed' - until he did that three times. The man said, 'By the One who sent you with the truth, I do not know anything other than this, so teach me.' He said: 'When you stand for prayer, say the takbir and recite what is easy for you from the Qur'an. Then bow until you are tranquil in bowing. Then rise until you are upright standing. Then prostrate until you are tranquil in prostration. Then rise until you are tranquil sitting. Do that in all of your prayer.'
