أَخْبَرَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، وَعَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّهُمَا صَلَّيَا خَلْفَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،فَلَمَّا رَكَعَ، كَبَّرَ، فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، قَالَ : " سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ "، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَكَبَّرَ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَكَبَّرَ، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ حِينَ قَامَ مِنْ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، إِنِّي لَأَقْرَبُكُمْ شَبَهًا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مَا زَالَ هَذِهِ صَلَاتُهُ حَتَّى فَارَقَ الدُّنْيَا "

Nasr bin Ali told us, Abdul Ala told us, on the authority of Muammar, on the authority of Al-Zuhri, on the authority of Abu Bakr bin Abdul Rahman, on the authority of Abu Salamah, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, that they prayed behind Abu Hurairah, and when he bowed, he said “Allahu Akbar,” and when he raised his head, he said: “Allah hears those who praise Him, then He said: “Our Lord, to You is all praise.” Then he prostrated and said “Allahu Akbar,” then he raised his head and “Allahu Akbar,” then he said “Allahu Akbar” when he stood up from the two rak’ahs, then he said: “By the One who is my soul.” With his hand, I am the closest of you in resemblance to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. This was his prayer until he left this world.”
