The Prophet's Prayer Described
Description of the Prophet's Prayer
Shaykh, al-'Allamah Muhammad b. Salih al-'Uthaymin
The Prophet (s) said:
"The first thing that the servant will be brought to account for on the Day of Resurrection from his actions will be the Prayer. Our Lord will say to His angels, and He knows best, 'Look at My servant's Prayer, did he complete it or was it deficient? If it is complete, then it will be recorded as complete. However, if there is any deficiency in it He will say, 'Look and see whether my slave performed any supergatory Prayers. If he does have supergatory Prayers, He will say, *Complete the obligatory prayers of My servant from his supergatory Prayers. Then the rest of his deeds will be judged in a similar fashion." Şahiḥ Sunan Abu Dawud (no. 864)
In this book, al-'Allamah Muḥammad b. Ṣāliḥ al-'Uthaymin explains a number of vital issues related to the Prayer in a very simple and comprehensive fashion. Not only does the Shaykh clarify the description of the Prayer, but he also expounds on finer details such as the meaning of the legislated supplications and remembrance articulated in the Prayer, which is highly beneficial to every Muslim, especially the English reader. This treatise provides the reader with accurate information based on the Qur'an and the Sunnah, so that the Muslim can actualize the saying of the Prophet (s): "Pray as you have seen me pray."
Some of the issues discussed are:
The meaning of the Prayer linguistically and Islamically
When and where the Prayer was made obligatory
Clarification of its importance
Clarification of its virtues and benefits
A warning against neglecting it
Clarification of the ruling regarding the one who abandons it
Clarification of some of its conditions
Clarification of its description in light of the Qur'an and Sunnah
The invocations after the Prayer
Clarification of its obligation and pillars
Clarification of two noble principles
Clarification of the importance of Khushu (focus & submissiveness) in the Prayer Clarification of the ruling of the congregational Prayer and some of its rulings

The Propher's Prayer Described
Ibn Al-'Uthaymin
those who deny the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of their Lord and the Meeting with Him (in the Hereafter). So their works are in vain, and on the Day of Resurrection, We shall assign no weight for them." (Al-Kahf: 103-105)
And Allah said:

قُلْ إِنَّ الْخَسِرِينَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَهْلِيهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَمَةِ أَلَا ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْخُسْرَانُ أَ

"Say (O Muhammad): The losers are those who will lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Verily, that will be a manifest loss!" (Al- Zumar: 15).
And that (i.e. Islam) is to submit to Allah and to yield to Him outwardly and inwardly in creed ('Aqidah), and in statements and actions. So Islam is not creed ('Aqidah) alone, rather, Islam is creed and statements and actions. So just like Islam cannot be only actions alone, similarly it cannot be only creed alone. The Prophet() said: "Islam is built upon five pillars; the testification that there is no deity worthy of worship in truth except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, the establishment of the Prayer, the giving of Zakat, Hajj, and the fasting of Ramadan". The meaning of that is that

The Prophet's Prayer Described
Ibn Al-'Uthaymin
informed me that there was impurity in them, so when one of you comes to the mosque then let him look, if he sees impurity in his shoes then he should wipe it off then pray in them."
This indicates it is impermissible for a person to continue wearing an impure garment during the prayer.
And the evidence upon the requirement of pure location to pray on is the statement of Allah, the Most High:
وَطَهِّرْ بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَالْقَابِمِينَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ )
"And sanctify My House for those who circumambulate it, and those who stand up for prayer, and those who bow (submit themselves with humility and obedience to Allah), and make prostration (in prayer, etc.)." (al-Hajj: 26)
Similarly, the Prophet () ordered for a bucket of water to be poured over the urine of the Bedouin, for it is narrated from Anas bin Malik who said,
"Whilst we were with the Messenger of Allah () in the mosque, a Bedouin came and stood urinating in the mosque, so the companions of the Messenger of Allah () said, 'Stop, stop!' The Messenger of Allah () said, 'Do not berate him, leave him,' so they
