[885] 45 -(397) It was narrated from Abü Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah 4it entered the Masjid and a man came in and offered Salât, then he came and greeted the Messenger of Allah jW. The Messenger of Allah returned the greeting and said: "Go back and pray, for you have not offered alât." The man went back and offered Salât as he had prayed before, then he came to the Prophet ; and greeted him, and the Messenger of Allah said, "Wa 'alaik as- salâm." Then he said: "Go back and offered Salât, for you have not offer Salât." When he had done that three times, the man said: "By the One Who sent you with the Truth, I cannot do more than that. Teach me." He said: "When you stand up for Saldt, say the TakbIr, then recite whatever you can of the Qur'ân. Then bow until you are at ease in bowing, then rise until you are standing up straight. Then prostrate until you are at ease in prostration, then sit up until you are at ease in sitting. Then do that throughout the entire prayer."
