Sahih Muslim, 1058

Rapporté par Hakam : À Kufa, un homme nommé Zaman b. al-Ash'ath a demandé à Abu 'Ubaidah b. 'Abdullah de diriger la prière, ce qu’il fit. Chaque fois qu’il se relevait de l’inclinaison, il restait debout aussi longtemps qu’il me fallait pour réciter cette invocation : « Ô Allah, notre Seigneur, à Toi la louange qui remplit les cieux et la terre, et ce qui Te plaît en plus. Tu es digne de toute louange et de toute gloire. Nul ne peut empêcher ce que Tu donnes, et nul ne peut donner ce que Tu empêches. La grandeur des grands ne leur sert à rien devant Toi. » Hakam (le narrateur) dit : J’ai parlé de cela à Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Laila qui a rapporté : J’ai entendu al-Bara' b. 'Azib dire que la prière du Messager d’Allah ﷺ, son inclinaison, le moment où il se redressait, sa prosternation, et le temps entre les deux prosternations étaient presque de même durée. J’en ai parlé à ‘Ar b. Murrah et il a dit : J’ai vu Ibn Abi Laila prier, mais sa prière n’était pas comme cela

Hakam reported:There dominated in Kufa a man whose name was men- tioned as Zaman b. al-Ash'ath, who ordered Abu 'Ubaidah b. 'Abdullah to lead people in prayer and he accordingly used to lead them. Whenever he raised his head after bowing, he stood up equal to the time that I can recite (this supplication): O Allah! our Lord! unto Thee be the praise which would fill the heavens and the earth, and that which will please Thee besides them I Worthy art Thou of all praise and glory. None can prevent that which Thou bestowest, and none can bestow that whichthou preventest. And the greatness of the great will not avail him against Thee. Hakam (the narrator) said: I made a mention of that to Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Laila who reported: I heard al-Bara' b. 'Azib say that the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and his bowing, and when he lifted his head from bowing, and his prostration, and between the two prostrations (all these acts) were nearly proportionate. I made a mention of that to 'Ar b. Murrah and he said: I saw Ibn Abi Laili (saying the prayer), but his prayer was not like this
