Sahih al-Bukhari 6251
Narrated Abu Huraira:
A man entered the mosque while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting in one side of the mosque. The man 
prayed, came, and greeted the Prophet. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him, "Wa 'Alaikas Salam (returned his 
greeting). Go back and pray as you have not prayed (properly)." The man returned, repeated his 
prayer, came back and greeted the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Wa alaika-s-Salam (returned his 
greeting). Go back and pray again as you have not prayed (properly)." The man said at the second or 
third time, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Kindly teach me how to pray". The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When you stand for 
prayer, perform ablution properly and then face the Qibla and say Takbir (Allahu-Akbar), and then 
recite what you know from the Qur'an, and then bow with calmness till you feel at ease then rise from 
bowing, till you stand straight, and then prostrate calmly (and remain in prostration) till you feel at 
ease, and then raise (your head) and sit with calmness till you feel at ease and then prostrate with 
calmness (and remain in prostration) till you feel at ease, and then raise (your head) and sit with 
calmness till you feel at ease in the sitting position, and do likewise in whole of your prayer." And 
Abu Usama added, "Till you stand straight." (See Hadith No. 759, Vol.1)
