Salat[Prayer] In Hadith

Ablution
O ye who believe! when ye prepare for prayer, wash your faces, and your hands (and arms) to the elbows; Rub your heads (with water); and (wash) your feet to the ankles. If ye are in a state of ceremonial impurity, bathe your whole body. But if ye are ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from offices of nature, or ye have been in contact with women, and ye find no water, then take for yourselves clean sand or earth, and rub therewith your faces and hands, Allah doth not wish to place you in a difficulty, but to make you clean, and to complete his favour to you, that ye may be grateful. [5:6]

Then he washed his face thrice and (then) forearms up to the elbows thrice, then passed his wet hands over his head and then washed each foot thrice.

PRAYER-Salat

Establish regular prayers - at the sun's decline till the darkness of the night, and the morning prayer and reading: for the prayer and reading in the morning carry their testimony.[17:78]

And establish regular prayers at the two ends of the day and at the approaches of the night: For those things, that are good remove those that are evil: Be that the word of remembrance to those who remember (their Lord):[11:114]

Guard strictly your (habit of) prayers, especially the Middle Prayer; and stand before Allah in a devout (frame of mind).[2:238]

And they have been commanded no more than this: To worship Allah, offering Him sincere devotion, being true (in faith); to establish regular prayer; and to practise regular charity; and that is the Religion Right and traight.[98:5]

And when it is said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" they do not so. [77:48]

Your (real) friends are (no less than) Allah, His Messenger, and the (fellowship of) believers,- those who establish regular prayers and regular charity, and they bow down humbly (in worship). [5:55]

And be steadfast in prayer; practise regular charity; and bow down your heads with those who bow down (in worship). [2:43]

Those that turn (to Allah. in repentance; that serve Him, and praise Him; that wander in devotion to the cause of Allah,: that bow down and prostrate themselves in prayer; that enjoin good and forbid evil; and observe the limit set by Allah.- (These do rejoice). So proclaim the glad tidings to the Believers. [9:112]

O ye who believe! bow down, prostrate yourselves, and adore your Lord; and do good; that ye may prosper.[22:77]

But fall ye down in prostration to Allah, and adore (Him)! [53:62]

But celebrate the praises of thy Lord, and be of those who prostrate themselves in adoration. [15:98]

And during part of the night, (also,) celebrate His praises, and (so likewise) after the postures of adoration. [50:40]

50.To depart by turning from the right and from left after prayer
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 1.811 Narrated byAbdullah
You should not give away a part of your prayer to Satan by thinking that it is necessary to depart (after finishing the prayer) from one's right side only; I have seen the Prophet often leave from the left side.



Allah knows best.
