Arabic text

874 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ أَبِي الرِّجَالِ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «يَرْكَعُ، فَيَضَعُ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَيُجَافِي بِعَضُدَيْهِ»

Commentary

The upper arms of the body must be kept away from one's sides when bowing or prostrating in prayer, as will be seen under Ahādīth nos. 880 and 886.
