English Translation

It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Abd al-Rahman, from Malik, from al-Zuhri, from Abu Salama — that Abu Hurayra used to say Allahu Akbar at every bowing and rising [in prayer], and would say: 'I am the one among you whose prayer most closely resembles the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.'
