Arabic text

869 - 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 رَكَعَ لَمْ يَشْخَصْ رَأْسَهُ، وَلَمْ يُصَوِّبْهُ، وَلَكِنْ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ»

Commentary

The Hadith instructs us the correct method of performing Ruku', which is to bring the head and the spine level with each other.
