Sahih al-Bukhari 786 (Book 10, Hadith 198)
Ramadan or other months. He used to say Takbir on standing for prayer and on bowing; then he
would say, “Sami`a l-lahu liman hamidah,” and before prostrating he would say “Rabbana wa laka lhamd.”
Then he would say Takbir on prostrating and on raising his head from the prostration, then
another Takbir on prostrating (for the second time), and on raising his head from the prostration. He
also would say the Takbir on standing from the second rak`a. He used to do the same in every rak`a
till he completed the prayer. On completion of the prayer, he would say, “By Him in Whose Hands my
soul is! No doubt my prayer is closer to that of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) than yours, and this was His prayer till
he left this world.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 786 (Book 10, Hadith 198)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
