English translation
957. It was reported from Bishr bin Al-Mufaddal, from ‘Āsim bin Kulaib, from his father, from Wā’il bin Hujr. who said: “I said to myself: ‘I will see how the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prays.’ So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood up, faced the Qiblah, and said the Takbir, raising both his hands until they were to the level of his ears. Then he grasped his left (hand) with his right (hand). When he wanted to go into Rukū, he raised both of them in a similar manner.” He said: “Then he sat, straightening his left foot (and sitting on it). He placed his left hand on his left thigh, keeping his right elbow at a distance from his right thigh. He clasped two fingers,[1] and formed a circle,[2] and I saw him do like this,” then Bishr formed a circle with his thumb and middle finger, and pointed with his forefinger.[1](Sahīh)
