Abu Huraira said that when God’s Messenger got up to pray he would say the <i>takbir</i> when standing, then say the <i>takbir</i> when bowing, then say, “God listens to him who praises Him” when coming to an erect position after bowing, then say while standing, “To You, our Lord, be the praise,” then say the <i>takbir</i> when getting down for prostration, then say the <i>takbir</i> when he raised his head, then say the <i>takbir</i> when he prostrated himself, then say the <i>takbir</i> when he raised his head. He would do that throughout the whole prayer till he finished it, and he would say the <i>takbir</i> when he got up at the end of two <i>rak'as</i> after adopting the sitting posture. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ يُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَقُومُ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَرْكَعُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: «سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ» حِينَ يَرْفَعُ صُلْبَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ: «رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ» ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَهْوِي ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يسْجد ثمَّ يكبر حِين يرفع رَأسه يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ كُلِّهَا حَتَّى يَقْضِيَهَا وَيُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَقُومُ مِنَ الثِّنْتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْجُلُوسِ
