893. It was narrated that 'Aîshah said: "When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ raised his head from bowing, he would not prostrate until he had stood up straight. When he prostrated, he would raise his head and not prostrate again until he had sat up straight. And he used to spread out his left leg." (Sahih)
893 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ، عَنْ بُدَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْجَوْزَاءِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ لَمْ يَسْجُدْ حَتَّى يَسْتَوِيَ قَائِمًا، فَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، لَمْ يَسْجُدْ حَتَّى يَسْتَوِيَ جَالِسًا، وَكَانَ يَفْتَرِشُ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى»

a. Raising one's head from bowing and standing up straight is called Qaumah. Some of the invocations recited on this occasion have already been mentioned under Chapter 18. Sitting between the two prostrations is called Jalsah. Memorable invocations for the occasion shall be discussed under Chapter 23. b. Qaumah and Jalsah are parts as essential for the prayer as the bowing and prostration.
