The Prophet's Prayer Described

Since the purpose of this book is to convey the guidance of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) regarding Prayer, it was elementary that I would not limit myself to a particular Madhhab, for the reasons mentioned previously. Therefore, I would give whatever is authentically proved from him (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam), as has always been the way of the scholars of Hadeeth , whether of old or of the recent past , as the excellent saying goes:

The People of Hadeeth are the People of the Messenger, although They accompany him not, they are with his every movement.
