Sunan an-Nasai 719 (Book 8, Hadith 32) #15327
Prayer Demonstration

SUMMARY: Abdullah bin Mas'ud taught two people how to pray by demonstrating the prayer himself and showing them how to do it.

It was narrated that Al-Aswad said: "Alqamah and I entered upon 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud and he said to us: 'Have these people prayed?' We said: 'No'. He said: 'Get up and pray'. So we went to stand behind him, and he put one of us on his right and the other on his left, and he prayed with no Adhan and no Iqamah. When he bowed he interlaced his fingers and placed his hands between his knees, and he said: 'I saw the Messenger of Allah doing that'."
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، قَالَ دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَعَلْقَمَةُ، عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ لَنَا أَصَلَّى هَؤُلاَءِ قُلْنَا لاَ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُومُوا فَصَلُّوا ‏.‏ فَذَهَبْنَا لِنَقُومَ خَلْفَهُ فَجَعَلَ أَحَدَنَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَالآخَرَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ فَصَلَّى بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ وَلاَ إِقَامَةٍ فَجَعَلَ إِذَا رَكَعَ شَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ وَجَعَلَهَا بَيْنَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَقَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَعَلَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of prayer in Islam. It was narrated that two people, Al-Aswad and Alqamah, went to visit Abdullah bin Mas'ud. He asked them if they had prayed yet, and when they said no he told them to get up and pray. He then demonstrated the prayer for them by standing between the two of them with one on his right side and one on his left side. He did not use an Adhan or Iqamah before beginning his prayer but instead interlaced his fingers together while bowing down during sujood. He explained that he saw Prophet Muhammad doing this as well. This hadith teaches us that we should take part in our prayers with sincerity and humility as Prophet Muhammad did himself. We should also be willing to help others learn about their faith by teaching them how to properly perform their prayers if needed.
