Arabic text

809 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ هُلْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «يَؤُمُّنَا فَيَأْخُذُ شِمَالَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ»

Commentary

a. It shows that the Sunnah in prayer is putting one hand on the other, not leave them hanging. b. It means putting the right hand on the left, as we shall see under Hadith 811. c. During Qiyâm (standing position) one hand must be upon the other, on the chest, as shall follow in the coming several Ahâdîth.
