Use a siwack , Perform wudu , Read verses from Quran , Ask for mercy & Seek refuge with Allah .

This hadith speaks of the Prophet Muhammad's prayer routine, which was an example for all Muslims to follow. Before he began his prayers, he would use a Siwak and perform wudu in order to purify himself spiritually and physically. He then began reciting verses from the Quran, pausing at each verse that spoke of mercy or punishment in order to ask for mercy or seek refuge with Allah respectively. After this, he bowed down in reverence while saying "Subhanaka Dhil-jabaraut wal-malakut wal-kibriya' wal-'azamah" which translates to "Glory be to the One Who has all power, sovereignty, magnificence and might". He then prostrated himself while saying the same phrase before continuing on with his recitation of other surahs from the Quran. This hadith teaches us that we should take our prayers seriously by preparing ourselves spiritually and physically beforehand as well as taking time out during our prayers to reflect on what we are reading in order to gain more insight into its meaning.
