Narrated Rifaah Ibn Rafi: This version of Hadith No 856 adds: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The prayer of any of you is not complete until he performs ablution perfectly; as Allah; the Exalted; has ordered you. He should wash his face and hands up to the elbows; and wipe his head and wash his feet up to the ankles. Then he should exalt Allah and praise Him. Then he should recite the Quran as much as it is convenient for him. Narrator then narrated the tradition like Hammads; No. 856. He said: He then utter the takbir and prostration himself so that his face is at rest. Hammam sub-narrator said: Sometimes he reported: So that his forehead is at rest on the ground; and his joints return to their places and are loosened. Then he should say the takbir and then sit right on his hips and erect his back. He described the nature of prayer in this way by offering four rakahs until he finished it. The prayer of any of you is not complete unless he does so.
