He then raised his head after bowing and uttered:”Allah listens to him who praises Him, to Thee, our Lord, be the praise,” and raised his hands. He then uttered: “Allah is most great”; then he prostrated himself and rested on his palms, knees, and the end of his toes while prostrating: then he uttered the Takbir (Allah is most great), and sat down on his hips and raised his other foot; then he uttered the takbir and prostrated himself; then he uttered takbir and stood up, but did not sit on his hips. He (the narrator) then narrated the rest of the tradition. He further said: Then he sat down at the end of two rak’ahs; when he was about to stand after two rak’ahs, he uttered the takbir; then he offered the last two rak’ahs of the prayer. The narrator did not mention about his sitting on the hips spreading out his feet.

He(the Prophet) prostrated himself, he depended on his palms, knees and the toes of his feet. When he sat up, he sat on his hips, and raised his other foot. He then uttered the takbir(Allah is most great) and prostrated himself. He uttered the takbir and stood up and did not sit on his hips. Then he repeated(the same) and offered the second rak’ah; he uttered the takbir in the same manner, and sat up after two rak’ahs. When he was about to stand up, he stood up after saying the takbir. Then he offered the last two rak’ahs. When he saluted, he saluted on his right and left sides. Abu Dawud said: in this tradition there is no mention of sitting on hips and raising hands when he stood after two rak’ahs as narrated by ‘Abu al-Hamid.

[Machine] He was in a gathering where his father was present, and he was one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ . In the gathering, there were Abu Huraira, Abu Usaid, and Abu Humaid Al-Saadi, who were from the Ansar. They were discussing about prayer, and then Abu Humaid said, "I will inform you about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." They replied, "Show us." He stood up to pray, and they watched. He began by saying the Takbeer (Allahu Akbar) and raising his hands to the level of his shoulders, then he raised his hands to the level of his ears before bowing, and he positioned his hands neither levelled with knees nor crossed but placed them on thighs. Then, he raised his head and said, "Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears whoever praises Him)," and raised his hands. Then, he said, "Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest)," and prostrated, placing his forehead, nose, arms, and feet on the ground while his hands were prostrated as well. Then, he said the Takbeer, sat with one of his legs tucked and the other extended, and said the Takbeer again before prostrating with the other leg as well. Then, he said the Takbeer, stood up without tawarruk (resting on the buttocks on the ground while seated) and performed another rakah (unit of prayer). He repeated the same actions and then sat after the two rakahs, until he intended to stand up, he said the Takbeer, performed the two final rakahs, and after completing the prayer, he said the Tasleem to the right, "Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah (Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah)," and to the left, "Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah (Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah)." Al-Hasan bin Al-Hur narrated that Isa also mentioned in the gathering during the Tashahhud, that the Prophet ﷺ would place his left hand on his left thigh and his right hand on his right thigh, then he would point with one finger in supplication.

Then he mentioned the narration in which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allahu Akbar," and he prostrated, with his palms, knees, and the tops of his feet touching the ground, while he was in prostration. Then he said, "Allahu Akbar," and he sat up, placing one of his legs on top of the other, and he raised his other foot. Then he said, "Allahu Akbar," and he prostrated again, and he mentioned the narration. It has been reported in the chain of narrators that Isa bin Abdullah heard it from Abbas bin Sahl, who has attended the prayer with Abu Humaid and Abu Usaid, among others.
