The jurists have agreed upon the supererogatory nature of some actions in prayer, among them: raising the hands during the opening takbir, reciting surahs in the first two rak'ahs of the obligatory prayer, saying "Ameen" after reciting Al-Fatiha, the worshiper straightening his back and neck during ruku, and increasing the duration of طمأنينة (stillness/tranquility) beyond the obligatory measure.
