Salam alaykum people!

This is a thread the way hazrat ali prayed.

Sahih Bokhari Volume:1. Book:12. Book of:Characteristics of Prayer. Number:751 :Narrated Imran bin Husain: I offered the prayer with 'Ali in Basra and he made us remember the prayer which we used to pray with Allah's Apostle. 'Ali said Takbir on each rising and bowing.

Sahih Bokhari Volume:1. Book:12. Book of:Characteristics of Prayer. Number:753 :Narrated Mutarrif bin 'Abdullah: 'Imran bin Husain and I offered the prayer behind Ali bin Abi Talib. When 'Ali prostrated, he said the Takbir, when he raised his head, he said the Takbir and when he got up for the third Rak'a he said the Takbir. On completion of the prayer Imran took my hand and said, "This (i.e. 'Ali) made me remember the prayer of Muhammad" Or he said, "He led us in a prayer like that of Muhammad."


Sahih Bokhari Volume:1. Book:12. Book of:Characteristics of Prayer. Number:789 :Narrated Mutarrif: 'Imran and I prayed behind 'Ali bin Abi Talib and he said Takbir on prostrating, on rising and on getting up after the two Rakat (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)."

Muhammad b. `Ali b. al Husain (Shaykh al Saduq in al-Faqih) with his chains from Hammad b. `Isa, that he said: Abu `Abdillah (as) said to me one day: Do you know how to pray, O Hammad? He said: I said: O my master! I comply with the Book of Hariz about prayer (therein is an account of Hariz for the preservation (?) of the Book and his narration and that is only for acting upon it, and the statements about that and its examples are more than can be enumerated, and parts of that will appear in the Book of Judgment etcetera – from it, certain differences (?) in the margin of the manuscript). He said: So he (as) said: Worry not! Stand and pray. He said: So I stood in front of him, facing the Qiblah. Then I commenced the prayer and I bowed and I prostrated. So he (as) said: O Hammad! You do not know how to pray. How repulsive is it for a man (in the copy of al Kafi: بالرجل منكم – for a man among you) to have had sixty years or seventy years pass him by, and he has not established a single prayer with all its limits?! Hammad said: So abasement befell me within and I said: May I be sacrificed for you! Please teach me the prayer. So Abu `Abdillah (as) stood facing the Qiblah, erect. Then he placed both his hands together on his thighs, his fingers joined together and he drew his feet near until they were three digits apart. And he turned, with all the toes of his feet together (in al Tahdheeb: جميعاً القبلة – in the margin of the manuscript), neither of his feet deflected from the Qiblah, with submissiveness and complete surrender (tranquility), and said: Allah is Greater (Allaahu Akbar)! Then he recited Surat al Hamd and Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad (Surat al Ikhlas) with the intonation (tarteel). Then he paused a little for a measure of one breath while he was standing. Then (in the Masdar, extra: رفع يديه حيال وجهه و- he raised his hands opposite his face and) he said: Allah is Greater (Allaahu Akbar), while he was standing. Then he bowed and spread his palms over the knees and pushed his knees backwards until his back was straight; were a drop of water or fat to be poured on him, it would not slide down due to the straightening of his back and the pushing (in the Masdar and the copy, in the margin of the manuscript: ورد) back of his knees, and he erected his neck (in the margin of the Asl: ومد في عنقه – and he stretched his neck) and looked down. Then he glorified thrice with tarteel and said: Allah listens to the one who praises Him (Sami`allaahu liman Hamidah). Then he recited the takbeer while he was standing and raised his hands opposite his face. And he prostrated and placed his hands on the ground prior to his knees and said: Purified (glorified) is my Lord, the Most High, and I praise Him (SubHaana rabbiya 'l-a`laa wa biHamdih), thrice, and he did not place (i.e. rest) anything (any part) of his body against anything from it. And he prostrated upon eight major (parts): the forehead and the palms and the kneecaps and the tips of the big toes of the feet and the nose; then these are seven, plenty (viz. seven are required). And the positioning of the nose over the earth is recommended. And it is (out of) compulsion (i.e., the nose is forced to rub the ground when the forehead is on the ground). Then he raised his head from prostration and when he was seated, he said: Allaahu Akbar! Then he sat on his left side and he placed the outside of his right foot over the inside of his left foot, and said: I seek forgiveness of Allah, my Lord and I turn towards (repent unto) Him (Astaghfirullaaha Rabbee wa atoobu ilayh). Then he recited the takbeer while he was seated and he prostrated a second time and said what he had said in the first and he did not resort to anything from his body against another from it either in the ruku` or the sujud, and he was winged (i.e., the placement of his hands appeared as if there were wings on either side) and he did not place his arms on the ground. Then he prayed the second rak`ah similarly, then said: O Hammad! Pray this way. And do not turn, nor play with your hands or your fingers and do not spit from your right nor (in the copy: ولا عن – nor from – in the margin of the manuscript) your left nor in front of you.



And he narrated it (Shaykh al Saduq in al Majalis) from his father from `Ali b. Ibrahim from his father from Hammad b. `Isa: Except that he said: “And he prostrated and placed his palms, joining his fingers together between his knees, opposite to his face”, and he left his saying: “and the nose” (Amali of al Saduq).
