[1191] 26 - (534) It was narrated that Al-Aswad and 'Alqamah said: "We came to 'Abdullâh bin Mas'ûd in his house and he said: 'Did these people offered prayers whom you left behind you?' We said: 'No.' He said: 'Get up and offer prayers, and he did not tell us to call the Adhân nor the Iqâmah. We went and stood behind him, and he took our hands and made one of us stand on his right and the other on his left. When he bowed, we placed our hands on our knees, and he struck our hands and put his hands together and placed them between his thighs. When he had completed his prayers, he said: 'There will be in charge of you governors who will delay the prayer from its proper time, and they may delay it (the Asr prayer) until the sun is about to set. If you see them doing that, then offer the prayer at its proper time, and make your prayer with them a voluntary prayer. If you are three, then pray together (standing in one row), and if you are more than that, then appoint one of you as
your Imâm. When one of you bows, let him put his forearms on his thighs, and bow down, and put his hands together. It is as if I can see the interlaced fingers of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and he showed them how."
