(Imām Bukhārī narrates): Mu'allā ibn Asad narrated to us, he said: Wuhaib narrated to us, from Ayyūb, from Abī Qilābah, he said:
Mālik ibn al-Huwairith, may Allāh be pleased with him, came to us, so he led us in prayer in this mosque of ours, then he said: I am leading you in prayer, and I do not intend the prayer itself, but I intend to show you how I saw the Prophet ﷺ praying. Ayyūb said: So I asked Abū Qilābah: And how was his prayer? He said: Like the prayer of this elder of ours — and by this he meant 'Amr ibn Salamah. Ayyūb said: And that elder used to pronounce the takbīr fully, and when he raised his head from the second sajdah, he would sit and lean upon the ground, then stand up.
حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، قَالَ جَاءَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ الْحُوَيْرِثِ فَصَلَّى بِنَا فِي مَسْجِدِنَا هَذَا فَقَالَ إِنِّي لأُصَلِّي بِكُمْ، وَمَا أُرِيدُ الصَّلاَةَ، وَلَكِنْ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُرِيَكُمْ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي. قَالَ أَيُّوبُ فَقُلْتُ لأَبِي قِلاَبَةَ وَكَيْفَ كَانَتْ صَلاَتُهُ قَالَ مِثْلَ صَلاَةِ شَيْخِنَا هَذَا ـ يَعْنِي عَمْرَو بْنَ سَلِمَةَ ـ قَالَ أَيُّوبُ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الشَّيْخُ يُتِمُّ التَّكْبِيرَ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ عَنِ السَّجْدَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ جَلَسَ وَاعْتَمَدَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، ثُمَّ قَامَ.
