Sins exit with wodhu It was narrated from 'Abdullah As-Sunabihi that [رضى الله عنه] The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever performs ablution and rinses his mouth and nose, his sins will exit through his mouth and nose. When he washes his face, his sins will exit from his face, even from beneath his eyelids. When he washes his hands, his sins will exit from his hands. When he wipes his head, his sins will exit from his head, and even from his ears. When he washes his feet, his sins will exit from his feet, even from beneath his toenails. Then his prayer and walking towards the mosque will earn extra merit for him."

10. Niyah Having different intention than the Imaam
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
Mu`adh used to pray with the Prophet (ﷺ) and then go and lead his people (tribe) in the prayer. Ref : Sahih al-Bukhari 711
Imam Nawawi (رحمه الله) has derived that the prayer of Muadh Bin Jabal [رضى الله عنه] behind Prophet (ﷺ) was his obligatory and then the second time he prayed with his people was voluntary for him and obligatory for them. (Sharah Sahih Muslim p.181v.4)
Question: Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: Some worshippers were delayed in praying Maghrib, and they found that the imam had started to pray ‘Isha’. Should they pray Maghrib in a congregation on their own, or join the imam? And how should they pray?
He replied: The correct view is that if a person comes (to the mosque) and the imam is praying ‘Isha’, whether he is with a group or not, he should join the imam, with the intention of praying Maghrib. It does not matter if the imam’s intention is different from that of one who is praying behind him, because the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Actions are but by intentions, and each person will have but that which he intended.”
11. Hands on the chest صَدْرِهِ 10. Hands on the chest Narrated Tawus: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to place his right hand on his left hand, then he folded them strictly on his chest in prayer.
Grade: Sahih Sunan Abi Dawud 759
In-book ref : Book 2, Hadith 369
English : Book 3, Hadith 758
The keyword in the last line in Arabic text in this hadeeth is chest صَدْرِهِ or Sadr. The chest in english (upper body muscles) is different from that in Arabic. In the arabic dictionary of deoband, Qamoos Al Waheed pg 915, the word 'Sadr' means "the chest of a human (from beneath the throat upto the tummy)". It means, the entire area below the throat and above the navel. Hence, we can place our hands any where ABOVE the navel and beneath the throat.
Unfortunately, due to the popularity and the vast number of the weak ahadeeth available, people tend to follow them.
Below is one such weak hadeeth.
Narrated Abu Hurayrah [رضى الله عنه]
(The established way of folding hands is) to hold the hands by the hands in prayer below the navel.
Abu Dawud (رحمه الله) said: I heard Ahmad b. Hanbal say: The narrator 'Abd al-Rahman b. Ishaq al-Kufi is weak (i.e. not reliable).
12. Right hand on left forearm ذِرَاعِهِ Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: The people were ordered to place the right hand on the left forearm in the prayer. Abu Hazim said, "I knew that the order was from the Prophet (ﷺ) ."
Ref: Sahih al-Bukhari 740
In-book ref : Book 10, Hadith 134
English ref : Vol. 1, Book 12, Hadith 707
The keyword, in this hadeeth, is Zira'a ذِرَاعِهِ which means forearm, or a shield
You will hear the term Zira'a a lot in Islamic history. It was used in battles. When Ali Ibn Abi Talib [رضى الله عنه] was getting married the Prophet (ﷺ) asked him if he had any Mahr to pay. He replied he only had a Zira'a. So, he took it to Uthman [رضى الله عنه] and loaned it to get some money. Later on it was returned to him as a gift.
If the right hand is put on the left Zira'a (forearm) all the way with the right hand finger tips come towards the left elbow, then the hands would automatically fall on the chest صَدْرِ as discussed in the previous Sunnah.

Abu Sa'eeed Al Khudri [رضى الله عنه] narrated: "When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) stood for Salat during the night, he would say the Takbir (Allahu Akbar), then say: (Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika wa Tabarakasmuka wa Ta'ala Jadduka wa la ilaha ghairuk.) 'Glorious You are O Allah, and with Your praise, and blesses is Your Name, and exalted is Your majesty, and none has the right to be worshipped but You' Then he would say: (A'udhu Bilahi As-Sami'il-Alimi min Ash-Shaitanir-Rajimi, min Hamzihi Wa Nafkhihi wa Nafthihi.)" 'Allah is undoubtedly the greatest.' (Allahu Akbaru Kabira). Then he would say: 'I seek refuge in Allah the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, from the cursed Shaitan, from his madness, his arrogance, and his poetry.'

He said, 'I am afraid that you will sleep and miss the (Fajr) prayer.' Bilal said, 'I will make you get up.' So all slept and Bilal rested his back against his Rahila and he too was overwhelmed (by sleep) and slept. The Prophet (ﷺ) got up when the edge of the sun had risen and said, 'O Bilal! What about your statement?' He replied, 'I have never slept such a sleep.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Allah captured your souls when He wished, and released them when He wished. O Bilal! Get up and pronounce the Adhan for the prayer.' The Prophet (ﷺ) performed ablution and when the sun came up and became bright, he stood up and prayed."

He replied: Allah, the Exalted, has prohibited the earth from consuming the bodies of Prophets.

take ghusl,
Narrated Ibn `Umar [رضى الله عنه]:
While `Umar bin Al-Khattab was standing and delivering the sermon on a Friday, one of the companions of the Prophet(ﷺ), who was one of the foremost Muhajirs (emigrants) came. `Umar said to him, "What is the time now?" He replied, "I was busy and could not go back to my house till I heard the Adhan. I did not perform more than the ablution." Thereupon `Umar said to him, "Did you perform only the ablution although you know that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to order us to take a bath (on Fridays)?"
Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 878
wear best clothing,
'Abd Allah b. 'Amr al-'As reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying: Whoever washed himself on Friday and applies perfume of his wife if she has one, and wears good clothes and does not step over the necks of the people (in the mosque to sit in the front row) and does not indulge in idle talk during the sermon, that will atone (for his sins) between the two Fridays. But he who indulges in idle talk and steps over the necks of people (in the mosque), that (Friday) will be for him like the noon prayer.

apply oil and perfume,
Narrated Salman-Al-Farsi [رضى الله عنه]
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever takes a bath on Friday, purifies himself as much as he can, then uses his (hair) oil or perfumes himself with the scent of his house, then proceeds (for the Jumua prayer) and does not separate two persons sitting together (in the mosque), then prays as much as (Allah has) written for him and then remains silent while the Imam is delivering the Khutba, his sins in-between the present and the last Friday would be forgiven."
Abd al-Rahman son of Abd Sa'id al-Khudri reported on the authority of his father that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
Bathing on Friday for every adult, using of Miswak and applying some perfume, that is available-these are essential. So far as the perfume is concerned, it may be that used by a lady.

come to masjid early,
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah [رضى الله عنه] that: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever performs ghusl as from janabah on Friday, then comes (to the masjid), it is as if he sacrificed a camel. Then the one who comes in the second hour, it is as if he sacrificed a cow. Then the one who comes in the third hour, it is as if he sacrificed a ram. Then the one who comes in the fourth hour, it is as if he sacrificed a chicken. Then the one who comes in the fifth hour, it is as if he sacrificed an egg. Then when the imam comes out, the angels attend to listen to the khutbah."
Sahih, Sunan Nasai book 14, Hadith 25
Eng: Vol. 2, Book 14, Hadith 1389
Arabic ref:Book 14, Hadith 1399
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (رحمه الله) was asked: When does the first hour of Friday begin?
He replied: The hours which were mentioned by the Prophet (ﷺ) are five. So the time between sunrise and the imam’s arrival is divided into five parts, each of which may be equivalent to what we know as an hour (60 minutes), or it may be more or less, because time changes.
take spot next to the imam.
Narrated Aws ibn Aws ath-Thaqafi [رضى الله عنه] I heard the apostle of Allah صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ say: If anyone makes (his wife) wash and he washes himself on Friday(Ghusl) , goes out early (for Friday prayer), attends the sermon from the beginning, walking, not riding, takes his seat near the imam, listens attentively, and does not indulge in idle talk, he will get the reward of a year's fasting and praying at night for every step he takes.

Chapter: Performing Ghusl For The Friday Prayer
Narrated Aws ibn Aws ath-Thaqafi [رضى الله عنه] I heard the apostle of Allah صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ say: If anyone makes (his wife) wash and he washes himself on Friday(Ghusl) , goes out early (for Friday prayer), attends the sermon from the beginning, walking, not riding, takes his seat near the imam, listens attentively, and does not indulge in idle talk, he will get the reward of a year's fasting and praying at night for every step he takes.

21. No sin if slept through the time of salah Whoever sleeps through Salah there is no sin on him(only if the eyes have not opened at all).
Chapter: Whoever Sleeps through The Prayer (Time) Or Forgets (To Pray)
Abu Qatadah [رضى الله عنه] reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: There is no remissness in sleep, it is only when one is awake that there is remissness when you delay saying the prayer till the time for the next prayer comes.
Grade : Sahih (Al-Albani) صحيح
Ref : Sunan Abi Dawud 441
Remissness means negligent, careless, slow in doing the job. So, whoever fell asleep there is no sin on him. But do not delay when you get up or if you are awake. Pray right away!
Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: There are three (persons) whose actions are not recorded: a sleeper till he awakes, an idiot or lunatic (mental) till he is restored to reason, and a boy till he reaches puberty. Grade : Sahih

Chapter: What Has Been Related About Those From Whom Punishment Is Not Required
Narrated 'Ali [رضى الله عنه]: That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The pen has been lifted from three; for the sleeping person until he awakens, for the boy until he becomes a young man and for the mentally insane until he regains sanity."
Grade : Hasan
Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1423
The Angels do not write sins when a person sleeps. It is only when you are awake. So pray right away when you get up. If your eyes open at 9am, treat it like 6am and rush for salah.
Preparation is also needed; early to bed and early to rise, as the saying goes.
22. Pause before getting up Narrated Malik bin Huwairith Al-Laithi [رضى الله عنه] I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) praying and in the odd rak`at, he used to sit for a moment before getting up.
Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 823
This pause is after the two sujoods in first and third raka'as, before getting up for second and fourth raka'a. It is to sit at the Tashahhud position for a moment, and is long enough until you feel all bones have settled down in their place.
This sunnah will also allow you to remember if it is your 3rd or 4th Raka'a.
Revive this forgotten sunnah!
23. Pause in equal durations It is sunnah to have all pauses in Salah to be of EQUAL duration!
Pausing between Sujoods, and after Ruku (standing) must be long enough, equivalent to Ruku and Sujood.
Al-Bara' b. 'Azib [رضى الله عنه] reported: I noticed the prayer of Muhammad (ﷺ) and saw his Qiyam (standing), his bowing, and then going back to the standing posture after bowing, his prostration, his sitting between the two prostrations, and his prostration and sitting between salutation and going away, all these were nearly equal to one another.
Sahih Muslim (The Book of Prayers) 471a In-book reference: Book 4, Hadith 219
The deeds on the day of judgement will be weighed and not counted. There is a scale in akhirah and not a counter. Hence, quality is more important than quantity. Moreover, people dont live the same amount of years in age, so it wouldn't be fair as an elderly would have more good deeds.
The sunnah is to build quality in salah by lengthening the postures and reciting different duas praising Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَ as done by Prophet (ﷺ) .
24. What to recite after ruku Narrated Rifa`a bin Rafi` Az-Zuraqi [رضى الله عنه] : One day we were praying behind the Prophet (ﷺ) When he raised his head from bowing, he said, "Sami`a l-lahu liman hamidah." A man behind him said, "Rabbana wa laka l-hamdu, hamdan kathiran taiyiban mubarakan feeh"
(O our Lord! All the praises are for You, many good and blessed praises). When the Prophet(ﷺ) completed the prayer, he asked, "Who has said these words?" The man replied, "I." The Prophet(ﷺ) said, "I saw over thirty angels competing to write it first." The Prophet (ﷺ) rose (from bowing) and stood straight till all the vertebrae of his spinal column came to a natural position.
Ref: Sahih al-Bukhari 799
Such is the reward for praising Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَ in salah, that 30 Angels had to rush to write it down.
Quality in salah, that is more rewarding, can be achieved by praising Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَ
To recite after ruku:
1. رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ
is proven from the sunnah.
Bukhari 733
2.رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ
is also proven from the sunnah
Bukhari 735
3. اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ
is also proven from the sunnah
Bukhari 796
3.رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ، حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ
is also proven from above hadeeth
Words in Arabic have a literal meaning, but when we put that word in Islamic context, it has a deeper meaning. Below are some examples.
1. The word HIJRAH literally means "Migration", but in Islamic context it would mean "Journey in search of religious freedom" with refrence to the Seerah.
2. The word Sharia'a literally means "The Way". The bedouins used to take a path to go fetch water from a distance, to a well. They used to call this path Sharia'a. The path is so important that everyone needs to take, in order to survive in the desert. In Islamic context, this path would mean Allah's divine Law.
3. The word Sunnah literally means " Road, path or practice ". In religious context, it would mean Statements, Approvals and Actions of Rasoolullah (ﷺ).
The above hadeeth falls under the category of APPROVALS, just like the two sunnah before Magrib. It would not be appropriate for the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) to see someone doing something wrong and keep quiet.
Today, we cannot start something new in the religion, or fabricate such statements, because we would not have the approval of Rasoolullah (ﷺ). So, we only follow what's done by sahaba if approved by Rasoolullah (ﷺ) as in the above hadeeth.
25. What to recite between the two sujoods Dua between the two prostrations
" رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي
It was narrated from Hudhaifah [رضى الله عنه] that the Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ used to say between the two prostrations: “Rabbighfir li, Rabbighfir li (O Lord forgive me, O Lord forgive me).”
Grade: Sahih Sunan Ibn Majah
English Vol. 1, Book 5, Hadith 897
Arabic Book 5, Hadith 947
A longer version of dua is also proven from sunnah.
“Allahumma aghfir li wa’rhamni wa’hdini wa’jburni wa’rzuqni wa ‘aafini (O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, console me, grant me provision and grant me well being),”
Tirmidhi 284 and ibn majah 898.
The ruler of Yemen, appointed by the Persian emperor Kisraa, sent two envoys to the Messenger (S) to summon him. When they came into his presence, he noticed that they had shaved their beards and grew their moustaches. He hated to look at them (because of their odd appearance) and he said: Woe be to you, who told you to do so? They replied: "Our lord! (referring to Kisraa.)" The Messenger (S) then said: “But my Lord, may He be exalted and glorified, has commanded me to leave alone my beard and to trim my moustache.”
(Recorded by Ibn Jarir Tabari in Taarikh Umamm wal Mulook) 8
This hadeeth sheds lights on various subjects some of which are as follows:
Rasool Allah (peace be upon him) disliked the act of shaving the beard to such an extent that he hated to look at the people with beardless faces. Rasool Allah (peace be upon him) did not like to look at the naked faces of those men.
Those Muslims who shave their beards should remember that we have to face our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) on the Day of Judgment. How would we feel in from of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) if we had spent our life with clean-shaven faces?
This hadeeth also indicates that shaving the beard is a practice of non-Muslims.
The two envoys came with the warrant from Persian king Kisraa to take Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) with them but the Messenger of Allah did not get intimidated by them and he said the truth.
