Follow proper etiquette during prayer according to Islamic teachings

This hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, used to pray and what his prayer posture was like. It was narrated by Uqbah bin Amir that he asked if he could show them how he saw the Messenger of Allah praying. He then proceeded to demonstrate by standing up straight with his palms on his knees and fingers behind his knees, holding out both arms from his sides until every part of him settled. Then he raised his head and stood up again until every part of him settled before prostrating in a similar manner. He repeated this four times before concluding that this is what he saw the Messenger of Allah doing when leading prayers. The lesson here is that we should strive to emulate our beloved Prophet in all aspects of life, including prayer which is one of our most important duties as Muslims. We must ensure that we are following proper etiquette when praying so as not only gain maximum reward but also so as not miss any essential parts or steps in our prayers.
