The Proper Way of Performing Salat

SUMMARY: This hadith is about a Bedouin man who was taught how to properly perform Salat by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Rifa'ah bin Rafi' narrated: "One day Allah's Messenger was sitting in the Masjid" Rifa'ah said: "And we were with him. Then what appeared to be a Bedouin man entered to pray, but he performed his Salat in a very brief manner. He then got up and greeted the prophet with Salam. The Prophet said (returning the greeting): 'And upon you. Go back and perform Salat, for indeed you have no prayed'. So he returned to perform Salat then came and greeted the Prophet with Salam. So he (the Prophet) said (returning the greeting): 'And upon you. Go back and perform Salat, for indeed you have not prayed'. He did that two or three times, each time coming to the Prophet, greeted the Prophet with Salam and the Prophet saying: 'And upon you. Go back and perform Salat, for indeed you have not prayed'. - until the people got scared and became very worried that one whose prayer was so brief had not actually prayed. Then in the end the man said: 'Then show me, and teach me, for I am a human who has suffered and is mistaken'. So he said: 'Alright. When you stand for Salat then perform Wudu as Allah ordered you. Then say the Tashahhud, and the Iqamah as well. If you know any Quran then recite it, if not then praise Allah, mention His greatness, and the Tahlil. Then bow such that you are at rest in your bowing, then stand completely, then prostrate completely, then sit such that you are at rest while sitting them stand. When you have done that, then you have completed your Salat, and if you leave out something, then you have made your Salat deficient'. And this was easier on them than the first matter, because if some of this was deficient, It would only reduce the reward of his Salat, it would not have gone entirely".

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a Bedouin man who was taught how to properly perform Salat by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ saw that this man was performing his salat in a very brief manner and asked him to go back and pray again. He repeated this process two or three times until he finally asked for help from the Prophet ﷺ on how to properly perform salat. The Prophet ﷺ then explained that one should first make wudu as ordered by Allah, then recite tashahhud, iqamah as well as any verses from Quran if one knows them; if not then one should praise Allah, mention His greatness and recite tahlil before bowing down completely in ruku', prostrating completely in sujud and sitting between two prostrations before standing up again for another ruku'. If any part of these steps are left out then it will reduce the reward but not invalidate it entirely.
