Abu Hurairah used to lead us in prayer. He would say the takbir when he stood, when he went into ruku, when he intended to go down into sujud after rising from ruku, when he intended to go down again after rising from sujud, when he sat, and when he intended to rise after the first two units. He would say the takbir in the same way in the last two units.Then, when he had given the closing salutation, he said, "By Him in whose hand my soul rests, I am the closest of you in resemblance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ," meaning in his prayer. This remained his manner of praying until he departed from this world.
حدثنا عبد الرزاق أخبرنا ابن جريج أخبرني ابن شهاب عن أبي بكر بن عبد الرحمن أنه سمع أبا هريرة يقول كان رسول الله ﷺ إذا قام إلى الصلاة يكبر فذكر نحوه
Its isnad is sahih. It is a repetition of what came before it, in meaning. Except that this one is from the statement of Abu Hurairah, a verbal description of the takbir of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, whereas the two preceding ones were from the action of Abu Hurairah, a description of his action, clarified by his saying, "I am indeed the closest of you in resemblance..." etc.It is from the report of Ibn Jurayj, from Zuhri, from Abu Bakr bin Abdul-Rahman, alone. Muslim likewise reported it, 1:115, from Muhammad bin Rafi, from Abdul-Razzaq, from Ibn Jurayj, with the same chain, and he gave the wording in full.Bukhari reported it, 2:225-226, from the report of Layth, from Aqeel, from Zuhri, with the same chain, in similar wording.
