Muwatta Malik #164
Prayer
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُكَبِّرُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ كُلَّمَا خَفَضَ وَرَفَعَ فَلَمْ تَزَلْ تِلْكَ صَلاَتَهُ حَتَّى لَقِيَ اللَّهَ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that AIi ibn
Husayn ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, used to say, 'Allah is greater'
whenever he lowered himself and raised himself, and he continued to
pray like that until he met Al lah ."
