The Book of Prayers
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ خَلاَّدٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ - حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنِي الْبَرَاءُ، - وَهُوَ غَيْرُ كَذُوبٍ - قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا قَالَ ‏ "‏ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ لَمْ يَحْنِ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا ظَهْرَهُ حَتَّى يَقَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَاجِدًا ثُمَّ نَقَعُ سُجُودًا بَعْدَهُ ‏.‏
When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Allah listened to him who praised Him, none of us bent his back till he (the Holy Prophet) prostrated; we then, afterwards, went down in prostration.
Narrated by Al-Bara' reported, and he was no liar:

Context

This hadith describes a moment during prayer when the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) would say, "Allah listened to him who praised Him." The companions would wait until he prostrated before they followed him in prostration, highlighting the importance of following the Prophet's actions in prayer. This illustrates the significance of maintaining proper order and timing in the ritual of Salah.

Modern Application

In daily Salah, Muslims strive to follow the example set by the Prophet (ﷺ) by ensuring they perform each action in the correct sequence. This practice fosters a sense of unity and discipline among worshippers, reinforcing the communal aspect of prayer.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Prayer and Supplication because it emphasizes the proper conduct during Salah and the importance of praising Allah.
