Ali bin Abu Talib reported,

It is reported from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that when he stood for the obligatory prayer, he would raise his hands level with his shoulders. He would do the same when he had finished his recitation and was about to bow, and he would do it again when he raised his head from bowing. He would not raise his hands at any point during the prayer while he was seated. When he rose from the two prostrations, he would raise his hands likewise and say the takbir.After the opening takbir, he would say, "I have turned my face toward the One who originated the heavens and the earth, devoted in pure faith, and I am not among those who associate partners with Him. Indeed, my prayer, my rites of devotion, my life, and my death are for Allah, Lord of all the worlds, who has no partner. With this I have been commanded, and I am among those who submit. O Allah, You are the King. There is no god but You. Glory be to You. You are my Lord, and I am Your servant. I have wronged myself and I confess my sin, so forgive me all my sins, for none forgives sins but You. Guide me to the best of character, for none guides to its best but You. Turn away from me its evil, for none turns away its evil but You. Here I am, at Your service, and all good is in Your hands. I am through You and unto You. There is no escape and no refuge from You except to You. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance."Then he would recite. When he bowed, his words during his bowing were, "O Allah, to You I have bowed, in You I have believed, and to You I have submitted. You are my Lord. My hearing, my sight, my brain, and my bones are humbled before Allah, Lord of all the worlds."When he raised his head from bowing, he would say, "Allah hears whoever praises Him." Then he would follow it with, "O Allah, our Lord, to You belongs all praise, filling the heavens and the earth, filling whatever else You will."When he prostrated, he would say in his prostration, "O Allah, to You I have prostrated, in You I have believed, and to You I have submitted. You are my Lord. My face has prostrated to the One who created it, fashioned it, and gave it hearing and sight. Blessed is Allah, the best of creators."And when he concluded the prayer he would say, "O Allah, forgive me what I have done before and what I will do, what I have concealed and what I have made public. You are my God. There is no god but You."

حدثنا الحسن بن علي الخلال حدثنا سليمان بن داود الهاشمي حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن أبي الزناد عن موسى بن عقبة عن عبد الله بن الفضل عن عبد الرحمن الأعرج عن عبيد الله بن أبي رافع

عن علي بن أبي طالب

عن رسول الله ﷺ أنه كان إذا قام إلى الصلاة المكتوبة رفع يديه حذو منكبيه ويصنع ذلك أيضا إذا قضى قراءته وأراد أن يركع ويصنعها إذا رفع رأسه من الركوع ولا يرفع يديه في شيء من صلاته وهو قاعد فإذا قام من سجدتين رفع يديه كذلك فكبر ويقول حين يفتتح الصلاة بعد التكبير وجهت وجهي للذي فطر السموات والأرض حنيفا وما أنا من المشركين إن صلاتي ونسكي ومحياي ومماتي لله رب العالمين لا شريك له وبذلك أمرت وأنا من المسلمين اللهم أنت الملك لا إله إلا أنت سبحانك أنت ربي وأنا عبدك ظلمت نفسي واعترفت بذنبي فاغفر لي ذنوبي جميعا إنه لا يغفر الذنوب إلا أنت واهدني لأحسن الأخلاق لا يهدي لأحسنها إلا أنت واصرف عني سيئها لا يصرف عني سيئها إلا أنت لبيك وسعديك أنا بك وإليك ولا منجا ولا ملجأ إلا إليك أستغفرك وأتوب إليك ثم يقرأ فإذا ركع كان كلامه في ركوعه أن يقول اللهم لك ركعت وبك آمنت ولك أسلمت وأنت ربي خشع سمعي وبصري ومخي وعظمي لله رب العالمين فإذا رفع رأسه من الركوع قال سمع الله لمن حمده ثم يتبعها اللهم ربنا ولك الحمد ملء السموات والأرض وملء ما شئت من شيء بعد فإذا سجد قال في سجوده اللهم لك سجدت وبك آمنت ولك أسلمت وأنت ربي سجد وجهي للذي خلقه وشق سمعه وبصره تبارك الله أحسن الخالقين ويقول عند انصرافه من الصلاة اللهم اغفر لي ما قدمت وما أخرت وما أسررت وما أعلنت أنت إلهي لا إله إلا أنت
