Sahih al-Bukhari 823 (Book 10, Hadith 217) #797
Pausing in Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to pause for a moment in between the odd rak'at of his prayer.

Narrated Malik bin Huwairith Al-Laithi: I saw the Prophet praying and in the odd rak'at, he used to sit for a moment before getting up.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ الْحُوَيْرِثِ اللَّيْثِيُّ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ يُصَلِّي، فَإِذَا كَانَ فِي وِتْرٍ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ لَمْ يَنْهَضْ حَتَّى يَسْتَوِيَ قَاعِدًا‏.‏
