Abu Qilaba said, "Malik bin Huwairith used to demonstrate to us the prayer of the Prophet (ﷺ) at times
other than that of the compulsory prayers. So (once) he stood up for prayer and performed a perfect
Qiyam (standing and reciting from the Holy Quran) and then bowed and performed bowing perfectly;
then he raised his head and stood straight for a while." Abu Qilaba added, "Malik bin Huwairith in
that demonstration prayed like this Sheikh of ours, Abu Yazid." Abu, Yazid used to sit (for a while)
on raising his head from the second prostration before getting up.
