English Translation

Abu Khalifah narrated to us, saying: Abdullah bin Raja narrated to us, saying: Isra'il narrated to us from Abu Ishaq from Al-Aswad from A'ishah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to begin his prayer with takbir and his recitation with: "Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds." When he bowed, he neither raised his head nor lowered it, but between that. When he raised his head from bowing, he did not prostrate until he was upright. When he raised his head from prostration, he did not prostrate until he was seated. He used to recite the Tahiyyah in every two rak'ahs. He used to spread his left foot and raise his right foot, and he forbade the cunning of Satan, and he forbade a man from spreading his arms like a beast spreads them. He used to end the prayer with the taslim.
