I saw a person praying at Muqam-Ibrahim (the place of Abraham by the Ka`ba) and he was saying
Takbir on every bowing, rising, standing and sitting. I asked Ibn `Abbas (about this prayer). He
admonished me saying: "Isn't that the prayer of the Prophet?"
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 10, Hadith 182

`Imran bin Husain and I offered the prayer behind `Ali bin Abi Talib. When `Ali prostrated, he said
the Takbir, when he raised his head, he said the Takbir and when he got up for the third rak`a he said
the Takbir. On completion of the prayer `Imran took my hand and said, "This (i.e. `Ali) made me
remember the prayer of Muhammad" Or he said, "He led us in a prayer like that of Muhammad."
