Arabic text

755 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكَّارِ بْنِ الرَّيَّانِ، عَنْ هُشَيْمِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ أَبِي زَيْنَبَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى الْيُمْنَى، فَرَآهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى»

    [1] They differ on the meaning of "Maddan", translated here as "extended"; whether it refers to a description of where the hands were or how high, or how they were, or that the fingers were not closed together, since the word can apply to any of these. See nos 239 in Sunan At-Tirmidhī and 884 in Sunan An-Nasā'ī.
