When he raised his head from the Rukū', he raised them in a similar manner. When he prostrated, he placed his head at the same level in between his hands. 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 [1] Meaning the smallest finger and the one next to it.
