OFFERING YOUR PRAYERS CORRECTLY

871

“In the quotation relating to the person who was at fault in performing his prayers we are told that he came to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and greeted him. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, returned his greeting and said, ‘Go back and repeat your prayer because you have not offered it properly.’ He went back, and offered his prayer then returned to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and greeted him. This happened three times.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
