Prayer of 'Ali b. Abi Talib

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the prayer of 'Ali b. Abi Talib, which was similar to the prayer of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Mutarrif said: I and 'Imran b. Husain offered prayer behind 'All b. AbI Talib(may Allah be pleased with him). When he prostrated, he uttered the takbir (Allah is most great) and when he bowed, he uttered the takbir and when he stood up at the end of two rak’ahs, he uttered the takbir. When we finished our prayer, 'Imran caught hold of my hand, and said: He has led us in prayer just now like the prayer offered by Muhammed(may peace by upon him).
