It was narrated that Jabir bin ‘Abdullah said: “When the Prophet ~ started to pray, he would say the Takbir, then say: (Indeed, my alah (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of all that exists. He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded, and I am one of the Muslims. Allah, guide me to the best of deeds and the best of manners, for none can guide to the best of them but You. And protect me from bad deeds and bad manners, for none can protect against them but You.)” (Sahih).
