8. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, one day asked me, ‘Do you know how to perform Salah (prayer) properly?’ I said, ‘I keep the book of Hariz with me in Salah (prayer).’ The Imam said, ‘Nevermind, O Hammad. Stand up and perform Salah (prayer).’ The narrator has said, ‘I then stood up in his presence, facing the direction of Qiblah (Makkah). I began performing Salah (prayer), with Ruku‘ and Sajdah.’ He then said, “O Hammad, you do not know how to perform Salah (prayer) properly. It is a shame for a man of your people who at the age of sixty or seventy cannot even perform one Salah (prayer) according to its complete rules and manners.’ Hammad has said, ‘I belittled myself very much at this point. I then asked him saying, “I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause teach me how to perform Salah (prayer) properly.’” Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, stood up straight facing the direction of Qiblah. He allowed his hands to rest on his thighs, with his fingers close side by side, kept his feet near each other, only leaving between them a distance of three fingers opened up, with his toes facing the direction of Qiblah without allowing them to deviate from this direction and with humbleness said, ‘Allah is great.’ He then recited al-Hamd (the first Chapter of the Holy Quran) with clarity and fluency and Chapter 112 of the Holy Quran. He then paused for a breath while still standing and raised his hands up to the sides of his face and said, ‘Allah is great,’ while still standing. He then bent down for Ruku‘ (kneeling). He then placed his palms over his knees allowing them to be filled up with his knees that were separate from each other, and pressed them backward until his back became so straightly level that even if there had been a drop of water or oil it would not flow to any side. He stretched his neck forward, lowered his eyes and then said with clarity and fluency three times, ‘I praise my Lord, the Great, Who is free of all defects.’ He then stood up straight. While standing straight he said, ‘Allah hears all those who praise Him.’ He then while standing raised his hands up to the sides of his face and said, ‘Allah is great.’ Then he bowed down for sajdah. He opened his palms with his fingers close side by side, placed them near his knees on the sides next to his face and said, ‘I praise my Lord, the most High who is free of all defects,’ three times. He did not place any other part of his body on any other part thereof. He performed sajdah on eight parts of his bones: his palms, knees, big toes of his feet, his forehead and his nose. He (the Imam) said, ‘Placing seven parts of these bones on the ground is obligatory during sajdah but one of them (the nose) is not obligatory. This is what Allah has spoken of in the Quran, “The parts of the body to be placed on the ground during sajdah belong to Allah, you then must not worship anyone other than Allah.” (72:17) Such parts are forehead, palms, knees and big toes of feet. Placing one’s nose on the ground is optional.’ He then raised his head from sajdah. When he sat up straight, he then said, ‘Allah is great.’ He then sat on his left thigh placing the back of his right foot over the sole of his left foot and then said, ‘I seek forgiveness from Allah, my Lord and turn to Him in repentance.’ He then said, ‘Allah is great.’ Then he bowed down for second sajdah, saying therein what he said in the first sajdah. He did not place any other part of his body on any other part during Ruku‘ or sajdah. He spread his elbows and did not place his arms on the ground. In this way, he performed two Rak‘ats of Salah (prayer). He (the Imam) kept the fingers of his hands close side by side when saying the two testimonies in a sitting position. When he finished saying the testimonies, he then read Sal am and said, ‘O Hammad, you must perform Salah (prayer) like this.’” (Ahadith 2-7 are best explained by fatwa.)
IsnādAli ibn Ibrahim a rapporté de son père, de Hammad ibn Isa, qui a dit : Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui) m'a dit un jour : "Ô Hammad, sais-tu prier ?" J'ai répondu : "Ô mon maître, je connais le livre de Hariz sur la prière." Il a dit : "Ce n'est pas grave, ô Hammad, lève-toi et prie." Je me suis levé devant lui, tourné vers la qibla, j'ai commencé la prière, j'ai fait une inclinaison et une prosternation. Il a dit : "Ô Hammad, tu ne sais pas prier. Que celui parmi vous qui atteint l'âge de soixante ou soixante-dix ans sans établir correctement une seule prière, comme elle devrait l'être, est vraiment laid." Hammad a dit : "La honte m'a envahi et j'ai dit : 'Je me sacrifie pour toi, enseigne-moi la prière.' Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui) s'est alors levé, face à la qibla, debout, a placé ses mains sur ses cuisses, a rapproché ses doigts entre ses genoux, a dirigé ses orteils vers la qibla sans les dévier, a récité Al-Hamd avec une belle récitation, puis 'Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad' avec calme, s'est arrêté un moment autant que nécessaire pour respirer tout en restant debout, a levé ses mains près de son visage en disant 'Allahu Akbar' tout en restant debout, s'est ensuite incliné en posant ses paumes sur ses genoux, les doigts écartés, a redressé son dos de sorte qu'une goutte d'eau ou d'huile aurait pu être versée sans qu'il ne bouge, a allongé son cou, fermé ses yeux, puis a fait le tasbih trois fois avec une belle récitation en disant 'Subhan Rabbi Al-Azim' et 'Bi Hamdihi', puis est resté debout un moment, a levé ses mains près de son visage en disant 'Allahu Akbar' tout en restant debout, a récité 'Samia Allahu Liman Hamidah' tout en se redressant, a dit 'Allahu Akbar' tout en levant ses mains près de son visage, puis s'est prosterné en posant ses paumes, les doigts écartés, sur le sol entre ses genoux, en disant 'Subhan Rabbi Al-A'la' et 'Bi Hamdihi' trois fois, sans poser une partie de son corps sur une autre, puis s'est prosterné sur huit parties : les paumes, les genoux, les orteils, les pouces des pieds, le front, le nez, et a dit que sept d'entre elles sont obligatoires pour la prosternation, comme mentionné dans le Livre d'Allah. Il a dit : "Les mosquées appartiennent à Allah, donc n'invoquez personne avec Allah. Ces parties sont : le front, les deux paumes, les deux genoux, les deux pouces des pieds, et poser le nez sur le sol est une sunna." Il a ensuite relevé la tête de la prosternation, s'est assis sur sa jambe gauche avec le dessus de son pied droit sur le bas de son pied gauche, a dit 'Astaghfirullah Rabbi wa Atubu Ilaih', a levé les mains près de son visage en disant 'Allahu Akbar', puis s'est prosterné une deuxième fois en disant les mêmes paroles qu'à la première prosternation, sans poser une partie de son corps sur une autre, en étant incliné, sans poser ses avant-bras sur le sol, a prié deux unités de prière de cette manière, ses mains étant jointes, tout en étant assis pour le tashahhud. Quand il a terminé le tashahhud, il a salué et a dit : "Ô Hammad, prie de cette manière."
