The number of takbirs in the five daily prayers.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And with that, it becomes clear to us: how many takbirs are there in the prayer?
The takbirs in the prayer? All the takbirs?
For example, how many are there in Fajr? How many takbirs are in Fajr?
We do not know the takbirs of Fajr, and we pray Fajr every day!
The student: Three.

The Shaykh : Three takbirs, my brother!
Fine, the takbir of ihram, the takbir of ruku', the takbir of sujud, the takbir of rising from sujud, the takbir of sujud a second time, how many is that?
The student: Five.

The Shaykh : The takbir of standing, that makes six, the takbir of ruku', the takbir of sujud, the takbir of rising from sujud to sit, the takbir of sujud a second time, and the takbir of sujud for the tashahhud.
Eleven?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Very well.
In the prayer of Dhuhr, we can count them in this manner, and in the prayer of 'Asr, and in the prayer of Maghrib.
The important thing is that every transition from one pillar to another involves a takbir, except for rising from ruku', which does not have a takbir, but rather "Allahu sami' liman hamidah" for the imam and the one praying alone, or "Rabbana wa laka al-hamd" for the one praying behind the imam.

The questioner : "As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh," what if there is a second form like "As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh," "As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi"?

The Shaykh : Very well.

The questioner : Adding "wa barakatuh."

The Shaykh : That is enough, do not prolong it, because this is being recorded now. Let the people listen to something continuous, without any issues, without questions or anything.
The questions will come, the questions, if Allah wills, in the question session. Write a paper and it is on my eyes and head.
In any case, this is the description of the prayer, and I ask Allah the Exalted to make us successful in what is good.
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
offer your prayers in the way you saw me offering my prayers صلوا كما رأيتموني أصلي
Sahih al-Bukhari 6008
.
Therefore, a person should strive to implement what was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding how to pray, so that he is obedient to his saying:
offer your prayers in the way you saw me offering my prayers صلوا كما رأيتموني أصلي
Sahih al-Bukhari 6008
.
