Sahih Muslim Hadith 896 – Placing The Right

English

[896] 54 (401) It was narrated that 'Alqamah bin Wâ'il, and a freed slave of theirs, narrated from his father, Wâ'il bin Hujr, that he saw the Prophet raise his hands when he started the prayer, and say the TakbIr – Hamâm described it as being level with his ears – then he wrapped himself in his garment, and placed his right hand over his left. When he wanted to bow, he brought his hands out from his garment and raised them, then he said the TakbIr and bowed. When he said, "Sami'a Allâhu liman harnidah (Allah hears those who praise Him)," he raised his hands, and when he prostrated, he prostrated between his hands." Chapter 16. The Tashah-hud In The Prayer
