727. (There is another chain) from Zāidah, from ‘Āsim bin Kulaib with his chain, and its meaning, but he said in it: “Then he (ﷺ) placed his right (hand) on the back-side of his left palm, wrist-bone and forearm.” This version also adds: “I returned at a later time, when it was extremely cold, so I saw that the people were wearing heavy garments — their hands (could be seen) moving beneath the clothes.” (Sahih)
727 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ، قَالَ فِيهِ: ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى ظَهْرِ كَفِّهِ الْيُسْرَى وَالرُّسْغِ وَالسَّاعِدِ، وَقَالَ فِيهِ: ثُمَّ جِئْتُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فِي زَمَانٍ فِيهِ بَرْدٌ شَدِيدٌ فَرَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهِمْ جُلُّ الثِّيَابِ تَحَرَّكُ أَيْدِيهِمْ تَحْتَ الثِّيَابِ

1. Wa'il bin Hujr embraced Islam in 9th year after Hijrah. The next year, during the winter, he again returned to Al-Madinah. This was the last winter during the life of the Prophet ﷺ. Wa'il saw the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions raising their hands during the prayer. This narration specifies the final actions of the Prophet ﷺ. 2. While standing in the prayer, placing the right palm such that it overlaps the left hand, or grasping the left hand with right hand, are both permissible.
