Sunan Abi Dawud 1009 (Book 2, Hadith 620) #21301
The Prophet's Prayer and People's Response

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet (PBUH) leading a prayer and the people responding to it.

This tradition has been narrated through a different chain of transmitters; but the version of Hammad is more perfect. This version goes; then the Messenger of Allah prayed; it does not have the words, "led us (in prayer)," nor the words "they made a sign". Thereupon the people said : Yes. He then raised his head. The version does not mention the words "he uttered the takbir. He then uttered the takbir and made the prostration as usual or prolonged it. He then raised his head". The narrator then prostration as usual or prolonged it. He then raised his head". The narrator then finished the tradition and did not mention the words that follow it. He did not mention the words "they made a sign", but Hammad b. Zaid mentioned them in his version. Abu dawud said: Anyone who narrated this tradition did not mention the words " then he uttered the takbir", nor the words "he returned"
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ - وَحَدِيثُ حَمَّادٍ أَتَمُّ - قَالَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَمْ يَقُلْ بِنَا ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ فَأَوْمَئُوا ‏.‏ قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ - وَلَمْ يَقُلْ وَكَبَّرَ - ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ وَسَجَدَ مِثْلَ سُجُودِهِ أَوْ أَطْوَلَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ وَتَمَّ حَدِيثُهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ مَا بَعْدَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فَأَوْمَئُوا ‏.‏ إِلاَّ حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَكُلُّ مَنْ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ لَمْ يَقُلْ فَكَبَّرَ ‏.‏ وَلاَ ذَكَرَ رَجَعَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) leading a prayer and the people responding to it. It was narrated by Abu Dawud through a different chain of transmitters. In this version of the hadith, it does not mention that he uttered takbir or made any sign for them to respond with. However, Hammad b. Zaid mentioned these words in his version of this tradition. The people responded with "Yes" when he raised his head after making prostration as usual or prolonging it. This hadith teaches us that we should always be attentive during prayers and respond when necessary in order for our prayers to be accepted by Allah SWT. We should also strive to make our prayers meaningful by focusing on what we are saying instead of just going through the motions without paying attention or understanding what we are saying in our duas and salats.
