Sunan Abi Dawud 618 (Book 2, Hadith 228) #20909
The Key to Prayer

SUMMARY: Prayer is a key part of one's faith and it should be done with purification and the proper use of takbir and taslim.

Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib: The Prophet said: The key of prayer is purification; takbir (saying "Allah is most great") makes (all acts which break prayer) unlawful and taslim (uttering the salutation) makes (all such acts) lawful.
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مِفْتَاحُ الصَّلاَةِ الطُّهُورُ وَتَحْرِيمُهَا التَّكْبِيرُ وَتَحْلِيلُهَا التَّسْلِيمُ

EXPLANATIONS:
Prayer is an important part of one's faith in Islam. It is essential to perform prayer with purity and cleanliness. This means that one must make sure they are physically clean before performing prayer as well as having a pure heart free from any negative thoughts or feelings. Additionally, when performing prayer it is important to say "Allah is most great" which makes all acts that break the prayer unlawful and saying the salutation makes all such acts lawful again. This hadith emphasizes the importance of being mindful during prayer by using these two phrases correctly in order to ensure that our prayers are accepted by Allah.
