Commentary
At-Taḥbīq' of the hands is to join both hands together and to place them between both knees; this action was allowed in the early era of Islam and was abrogated later. As it is clear from the Hadīth of Sa'd; and later both hands were commanded to be placed on the knees. 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd ﷺ did not know the abrogation, so he kept acting according to what he knew. [Ṣaḥīh Al-Bukhārī, Hadīth: 790; Ṣaḥīh Muslim, Hadīth: 535]
