Abu Sa`id led us in the prayer and said the Takbir aloud on arising from the prostration, and on
prostrating, on rising again, and on getting up from the second rak`a. Abu Sa`id said, "I saw the
Prophet doing the same."

Abu Qilaba said, "Malik bin Huwairith came to us and led us in the prayer in this mosque of ours and
said, 'I lead you in prayer but I do not want to offer the prayer but just to show you how Allah's
Apostle performed his prayers." I asked Abu Qilaba, "How was the prayer of Malik bin Huwairith?"
He replied, "Like the prayer of this Sheikh of ours-- i.e. `Amr bin Salima." That Sheikh used to
pronounce the Takbir perfectly and when he raised his head from the second prostration he would sit
for a while and then support himself on the ground and get up.

`Imran and I prayed behind `Ali bin Abi Talib and he said Takbir on prostrating, on rising and on
getting up after the two rak`at (i.e. after the second rak`a). When the prayer was finished, `Imran took
me by the hand and said, "He (`Ali) has prayed the prayer of Muhammad" (or said, "He made us
remember the prayer of Muhammad).
