If someone does not prostrate properly
Narrated Hudhaifa that he saw a person bowing and prostrating imperfectly. When he finished his Salat, Hudhaifa told him that he had not offered Salat. The subnarrator added, "I think that Hudhaifa also said: Were you to die you would die on a "Sunna" (legal way) other than that of Muhammad (ﷺ)."
أَخْبَرَنَا الصَّلْتُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا مَهْدِيٌّ عَنْ وَاصِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ رَأَى رَجُلاً لاَ يُتِمُّ رُكُوعَهُ وَلاَ سُجُودَهُ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلاَتَهُ قَالَ لَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ مَا صَلَّيْتَ ـ قَالَ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ ـ لَوْ مُتَّ مُتَّ عَلَى غَيْرِ سُنَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم
During Prostrations one should show his armpits and separate his forearms from his body
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Malik:
Ibn Buhaina, "When the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed, he used to separate his arms
from his body so widely that the whiteness of his armpits was
visible."
أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ هُرْمُزَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ابْنِ بُحَيْنَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى فَرَّجَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ بَيَاضُ إِبْطَيْهِ وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ نَحْوَهُ
Superiority of (praying) facing the Qiblah with the toes toward it as well
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Whoever prays like us and faces our Qibla and eats our slaughtered animals is a
Muslim and is under Allah's and His Apostle's protection. So do not betray Allah by betraying those
who are in His protection."
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمَهْدِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ سِيَاهٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَنْ صَلَّى صَلاَتَنَا وَاسْتَقْبَلَ قِبْلَتَنَا وَأَكَلَ ذَبِيحَتَنَا فَذَلِكَ الْمُسْلِمُ الَّذِي لَهُ ذِمَّةُ اللَّهِ وَذِمَّةُ رَسُولِهِ فَلاَ تُخْفِرُوا اللَّهَ فِي ذِمَّتِهِ
Superiority of (praying) facing the Qiblah with the toes toward it as well
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we
slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except
legally and their reckoning will be with Allah."
حَدَّثَنَا نُعَيْمٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ فَإِذَا قَالُوهَا وَصَلَّوْا صَلاَتَنَا وَاسْتَقْبَلُوا قِبْلَتَنَا وَذَبَحُوا ذَبِيحَتَنَا فَقَدْ حَرُمَتْ عَلَيْنَا دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَأَمْوَالُهُمْ إِلاَّ بِحَقِّهَا وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ
Superiority of (praying) facing the Qiblah with the toes toward it as well
Narrated Maimun bin Siyah that he asked Anas bin
Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever
says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us
and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as
other Muslims have."

The Qiblah for the people of Al-Madina, Sham and the East.
Narrated Abu Aiyub Al-Ansari:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "While defecating, neither face nor turn your back to the Qibla but face either east
or west." Abu Aiyub added. "When we arrived in Sham we came across some lavatories facing the
Qibla; therefore we turned ourselves while using them and asked for Allah's forgiveness."

The Statement of Allah " And take you (people) the Maqam (place) of Ibrahim (Abraham) (or the stone on which Abrahim stood while he was building the Kabah as a place of prayer (for some of your Salat e.g., two Raka after the Tawaf of Kabah)"
Narrated `Amr bin Dinar:
I asked Ibn `Umar, "Can a person who has performed the Tawaf around the Ka`ba for `Umra but has
not performed the (Sa`i) Tawaf of Safa and Marwa, have a sexual relation with his wife?" Ibn `Umar
replied "When the Prophet (ﷺ) reached Mecca he performed the Tawaf around the Ka`ba
(circumambulated it seven times) and offered a two-rak`at prayer (at the place) behind the station (of
Abraham) and then performed the Tawaf (Sa`i) of Safa and Marwa, and verily in Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) you
have a good example." Then we put the same question to Jabir bin `Abdullah and he too replied, "He
should not go near his wife (for sexual relation) till he has finished the Tawaf of Safa and Marwa."

Narrated Mujahid:
Someone came to Ibn `Umar and said, "Here is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entering the Ka`ba." Ibn `Umar said,
"I went there but the Prophet (ﷺ) had come out of the Ka`ba and I found Bilal standing between its two
doors. I asked Bilal, 'Did the Prophet (ﷺ) pray in the Ka`ba?' Bilal replied, 'Yes, he prayed two rak`at
between the two pillars which are to your left on entering the Ka`ba. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came out
and offered a two-rak`at prayer facing the Ka`ba.' "

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
When the Prophet (ﷺ) entered the Ka`ba, he invoked Allah in each and every side of it and did not pray
till he came out of it, and offered a two-rak`at prayer facing the Ka`ba and said, "This is the Qibla."
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ لَمَّا دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْبَيْتَ دَعَا فِي نَوَاحِيهِ كُلِّهَا وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ حَتَّى خَرَجَ مِنْهُ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ رَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي قُبُلِ الْكَعْبَةِ وَقَالَ هَذِهِ الْقِبْلَةُ
[During the obligatory Salat (prayers)] one should face the Qiblah (Kabah at Makkah) wherever one may be
Narrated Bara' bin `Azib:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) prayed facing Baitul-Maqdis for sixteen or seventeen months but he loved to face the
Ka`ba (at Mecca) so Allah revealed: "Verily, We have seen the turning of your face to the heaven!"
(2:144) So the Prophet (ﷺ) faced the Ka`ba and the fools amongst the people namely "the Jews" said,
"What has turned them from their Qibla (Baitul-Maqdis) which they formerly observed"" (Allah
revealed): "Say: 'To Allah belongs the East and the West. He guides whom he will to a straight path'."
(2:142) A man prayed with the Prophet (facing the Ka`ba) and went out. He saw some of the Ansar
praying the `Asr prayer with their faces towards Baitul-Maqdis, he said, "I bear witness that I prayed
with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) facing the Ka`ba." So all the people turned their faces towards the Ka`ba.

[During the obligatory Salat (prayers)] one should face the Qiblah (Kabah at Makkah) wherever one may be
Narrated Jabir:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to pray (optional, non-obligatory prayer) while riding on his mount (Rahila)
wherever it turned, and whenever he wanted to pray the compulsory prayer he dismounted and prayed
facing the Qibla.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ حَيْثُ تَوَجَّهَتْ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ الْفَرِيضَةَ نَزَلَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ
[During the obligatory Salat (prayers)] one should face the Qiblah (Kabah at Makkah) wherever one may be
Narrated `Abdullah:
The Prophet (ﷺ) prayed (and the sub-narrator Ibrahim said, "I do not know whether he prayed more or less
than usual"), and when he had finished the prayers he was asked, "O Allah's Messenger! Has there been
any change in the prayers?" He said, "What is it?' The people said, "You have prayed so much and so
much." So the Prophet (ﷺ) bent his legs, faced the Qibla and performed two prostration's (of Sahu) and
finished his prayers with Taslim (by turning his face to right and left saying: 'As-Salamu `Alaikum-
Warahmat-ullah'). When he turned his face to us he said, "If there had been anything changed in the
prayer, surely I would have informed you but I am a human being like you and liable to forget like
you. So if I forget remind me and if anyone of you is doubtful about his prayer, he should follow what
he thinks to be correct and complete his prayer accordingly and finish it and do two prostrations (of
Sahu).
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لاَ أَدْرِي زَادَ أَوْ نَقَصَ ـ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَدَثَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ شَىْءٌ قَالَ وَمَا ذَاكَ قَالُوا صَلَّيْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَثَنَى رِجْلَيْهِ وَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَوْ حَدَثَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ شَىْءٌ لَنَبَّأْتُكُمْ بِهِ وَلَكِنْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ أَنْسَى كَمَا تَنْسَوْنَ فَإِذَا نَسِيتُ فَذَكِّرُونِي وَإِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلاَتِهِ فَلْيَتَحَرَّى الصَّوَابَ فَلْيُتِمَّ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمْ ثُمَّ يَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ
What has been said about (facing) the Qiblah (Kabah at Makkah) and wherever considered that there was no need to repeat the Salat (prayer) if someone offered prayers by mistake facing a direction other than that of the Qiblah
Narrated `Umar (bin Al-Khattab):
My Lord agreed with me in three things:
-1. I said, "O Allah's Messenger, I wish we took the station of Abraham as our praying place (for some of
our prayers). So came the Divine Inspiration: And take you (people) the station of Abraham as a place
of prayer (for some of your prayers e.g. two rak`at of Tawaf of Ka`ba)". (2.125)
-2. And as regards the (verse of) the veiling of the women, I said, 'O Allah's Messenger! I wish you
ordered your wives to cover themselves from the men because good and bad ones talk to them.' So the
verse of the veiling of the women was revealed.
-3. Once the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) made a united front against the Prophet (ﷺ) and I said to them, 'It may
be if he (the Prophet) divorced you, (all) that his Lord (Allah) will give him instead of you wives
better than you.' So this verse (the same as I had said) was revealed." (66.5).

While the people were offering the Fajr prayer at Quba' (near Medina), someone came to them and
said: "It has been revealed to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) tonight, and he has been ordered to pray facing the
Ka`ba." So turn your faces to the Ka`ba. Those people were facing Sham (Jerusalem) so they turned
their faces towards Ka`ba (at Mecca).

Narrated `Abdullah:
"Once the Prophet (ﷺ) offered five rak`at in Zuhr prayer. He was asked, "Is there an increase in the
prayer?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "And what is it?" They said, "You have prayed five rak`at.' So he bent his
legs and performed two prostrations (of Sahu).
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الظُّهْرَ خَمْسًا فَقَالُوا أَزِيدَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ قَالَ وَمَا ذَاكَ قَالُوا صَلَّيْتَ خَمْسًا فَثَنَى رِجْلَيْهِ وَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ
To scrape off the sputum from the mosque with the hand (using some tool or other, or using n tool)
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet (ﷺ) saw some sputum in the direction of the Qibla (on the wall of the mosque) and he
disliked that and the sign of disgust was apparent from his face. So he got up and scraped it off with
his hand and said, "Whenever anyone of you stands for the prayer, he is speaking in private to his
Lord or his Lord is between him and his Qibla. So, none of you should spit in the direction of the
Qibla but one can spit to the left or under his foot." The Prophet (ﷺ) then took the corner of his sheet and
spat in it and folded it and said, "Or you can do this. "
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَأَى نُخَامَةً فِي الْقِبْلَةِ فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى رُئِيَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَامَ فَحَكَّهُ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا قَامَ فِي صَلاَتِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ ـ أَوْ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ ـ فَلاَ يَبْزُقَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ قِبَلَ قِبْلَتِهِ وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ طَرَفَ رِدَائِهِ فَبَصَقَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ رَدَّ بَعْضَهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ أَوْ يَفْعَلْ هَكَذَا
To scrape off the sputum from the mosque with the hand (using some tool or other, or using n tool)
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw sputum on the wall of the mosque in the direction of the Qibla and scraped it off.
