This is my description...

This is my description, and in the second rakat, he recited Al-Hamd and Surah Al-Qadr and said: O Muhammad, this is the description of you and your family until the Day of Resurrection [4] .” Some scholars, based on historical and Qur’anic evidence, believe that the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) and some of his relatives such as Ali (peace be upon him) and Khadija (peace be upon her) prayed and worshiped God before the Ascension, but the obligation of the first prayer for the entire Muslim Ummah was considered to be during the time of Ascension.

The Qur’anic verses such as verses 9 and 10 of Qur’an 96 [Surah al-Alaq] are believed to establish the existence of ritual prayer before Ascension.

Allamah Ṭabāṭabāī believes that because Qur’an 96 [Surah al-Alaq] was revealed at the beginning of the Prophethood and at that time, there was no verse about prayer, it is clear that the command to pray came to them before the Qur’anic revelation, and what is meant by “a servant when he prays [5] ” was the prophet (peace be upon him and his family) and “he who forbids [6] ” was also Abu Jahl [7] .

This point has been raised in the narrations on the reason of revelation of Qur’an 96 [Surah al-Alaq] and the vast majority of Qur’anic exegetes and narrators of the reason of revelation have accepted it. For sure, the Prophet was praying before his ascension and at that time he did not have any companions to perform congregational prayers in this way.

According to historical reports, at least for three years, they did not make a public proclamation of his mission and naturally had no followers except Hazrat Ali and Khadijah (peace be upon them) who believed in him and prayed with them from the very beginning of the Prophetic mission [8] .

In a narration from ‘Afīf ibn Qais Kindi, it is narrated: “Before the public declaration of the Prophetic mission, one day, I was sitting in Mecca with Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib, a young man came and looked at the sky and when the sun rose, he stood in front of the Ka’aba to pray. Then a young man came and He stood on his right and then a lady stood behind them. The young man bowed, and the two also bowed. Then he stood up and prostrated, they both also prostrated.

I said to Abbas: It is a great matter. Abbas also said: It is a great thing. Do you know who this young man is? This is the son of my brother, Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abdul Muttalib. Do you know who this teenager is? My brother’s son, Ali ibn Abi Talib.
