أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ آيَةً وَ يَكُونُ رُكُوعُهُ مِثْلَ قِيَامِهِ وَ سُجُودُهُ مِثْلَ رُكُوعِهِ وَ رَفْعُ رَأْسِهِ مِنَ اَلرُّكُوعِ وَ اَلسُّجُودِ سَوَاءً»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Muhammad ibn Abi Hamzah:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: “The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, used to recite fifteen verses in every rak‘ah, and His صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم bowing (ruku‘) would be equal in length to His صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم standing, and His صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم prostration would be equal to His صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم bowing, and His صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم raising of His صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم head from bowing and from prostration were all equal.”
