Sunan an-Nasai 1064 (Book 12, Hadith 36) #15672
The Sunnah of Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) taught us the Sunnah of prayer and instructed us to make our rows straight, recite takbir, say "Amin" when reciting certain verses, bow and prostrate in unison with the Imam. He also taught us to recite seven phrases as a greeting for prayer.

It was narrated from Hittan bin 'Abdullah that: He heard Abu Musa say: "The Prophet of Allah addressed us and taught us our Sunnah and our prayer. He said: 'When you pray, make your rows straight and let one of you lead you in prayer. When the Imam says the takbir, then say the takbir. When he recites 'Not (the way) of those who earned Your anger, nor those who went astray' then say: "Amin" and Allah will answer you. When he says the takbir and bows, then say the takbir and bow. The Imam bows before you do and stands up before you do'. The Prophet of Allah said: 'This makes up for that. And when he says: "'Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears the one who praises Him),' then say: "Allahumma Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (O Allah, our Lord, and to You be the praise), " Allah will hear you, for Allah has said on the lips of His Prophet : "Allah hears the one who praises Him". And when he (the Imam) says the takbir and prostrates, then say the takbir and prostrate. The Imam prostrates before you do and sits up before you do'. The Prophet of Allah said: 'This makes up for that. And when he is sitting, let the first thing that any one of you says be: At-tahiyaatut-tayyibatus-salawatuLillah, salamun 'alayka ayyuhanabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu, salamun 'alayna wa 'ala 'ibadillahis-salihin, ashhadu an la ilaha ill-Allah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluh (All compliments, good words and prayers are due to Allah, peace be upon you O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger)- seven phrases which are the greeting of the prayer'."

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the importance of following the sunnah when it comes to prayer. It is important that we make our rows straight and that one person leads in prayer. When the Imam says takbir, we should also say it in unison with him. We should also say “Amin” after certain verses are recited by the Imam during prayers. When he bows or prostrates, we should do so at the same time as him; he will bow before us and stand up before us so that everyone can be on time with their movements during prayers. Lastly, after sitting down for Tashahhud we should greet each other by saying seven phrases which are known as “At-tahiyaatut-tayyibatus-salawatuLillah” which translates to “All compliments, good words and prayers are due to Allah” followed by peace be upon you O Prophet etc.. This hadith teaches us about how important it is for Muslims to follow these instructions while praying so that they can gain maximum reward from Allah SWT for their actions.
