English translation
239. Abū Hurairah narrated: "When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ performed the Takbīr for Ṣalāt he would spread his fingers." (Da'if) Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Hurairah [is Ḥasan] [and] more than one person has narrated it: from Ibn Abī Dhi'b, from Sa'eed bin Sam'ān, from Abū Hurairah, that when the Prophet ﷺ would enter the Ṣalāt he would raise his hands while they were extended. And this is more correct than the narration of Yaḥya bin Al-Yamān. Ibn Yamān (a narrator in the chain of this Hadīth) was mistaken in this Hadīth.
