English translation

867. Muṣ'ab bin Sa'd said: "I prayed next to my father, and I placed my hands between my knees. He forbade me from doing it, but I repeated my act. So he said: 'Do not do so! We used to do it, but were then prohibited from doing it, and were commanded (instead) to place our hands on our knees.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

867 - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَاسْمُهُ وَقْدَانُ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِ أَبِي، فَجَعَلْتُ يَدَيَّ بَيْنَ رُكْبَتَيَّ، فَنَهَانِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَعُدْتُ، فَقَالَ: «لَا تَصْنَعْ هَذَا، فَإِنَّا كُنَّا نَفْعَلُهُ، فَنُهِينَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ، وَأُمِرْنَا أَنْ نَضَعَ أَيْدِيَنَا عَلَى الرُّكَبِ»

Commentary

Taṭbīq, or clasping one's hands together between the knees while in Rukū', has been abrogated, according to the majority of scholars, and the Companions.
