أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ: لَأَنْظُرَنَّ كَيْفَ يُصَلِّي. قَالَ: فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ، فَكَبَّرَ، وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى كَانَتَا حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَخَذَ شِمَالَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ. قَالَ: فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ، رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى كَانَتَا حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ. فَلَمَّا رَكَعَ، وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ. فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ، رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى كَانَتَا حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ. فَلَمَّا سَجَدَ، وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ وَجْهِهِ بِذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ. فَلَمَّا قَعَدَ، افْتَرَشَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى، وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى رُكْبَتِهِ الْيُسْرَى، وَوَضَعَ حَدَّ مِرْفَقِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى، وَعَقَدَ ثَلَاثِينَ، وَحَلَّقَ وَاحِدَةً، وَأَشَارَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ السَّبَّابَةِ.

How the Prophet ﷺ raised his hands and sat in prayer
[AI] I saw the Prophet ﷺ say the takbir and raise his hands when he said the takbir, meaning when he began the prayer. He raised his hands when he said the takbir, and he raised his hands when he bowed, and he raised his hands when he said "Allah hears the one who praises Him." He prostrated and placed his hands level with his ears. Then he sat and spread out his left leg. Then he placed his left hand on his left knee, and he placed his right forearm on his right thigh. Then he pointed with his index finger, placed the thumb on the middle finger, and closed the rest of his fingers. Then he prostrated, and his hands were level with his ears.
رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَبَّرَ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حِينَ كَبَّرَ، يَعْنِي اسْتَفْتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ، وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حِينَ كَبَّرَ، وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حِينَ رَكَعَ، وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حِينَ قَالَ «سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ»، وَسَجَدَ فَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَذْوَ أُذُنَيْهِ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَافْتَرَشَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى رُكْبَتِهِ الْيُسْرَى، وَوَضَعَ ذِرَاعَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى، ثُمَّ أَشَارَ بِسَبَّابَتِهِ، وَوَضَعَالْإِبْهَامَ عَلَى الْوُسْطَى، وَقَبَضَ سَائِرَ أَصَابِعِهِ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ، فَكَانَتْ يَدَاهُ حِذَاءَ أُذُنَيْهِ.
Wine is not a medicine
[AI] A man called Suwaid ibn Tariq asked the Prophet ﷺ about wine, and he forbade it. He said, "I make it for medicine," so the Prophet ﷺ said: "It is a disease and not a cure."
أَنَّ رَجُلًا يُقَالُ لَهُ سُوَيْدُ بْنُ طَارِقٍ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ، فَنَهَاهُ عَنْهَا. فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أَصْنَعُهَا لِلدَّوَاءِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «إِنَّهَا دَاءٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِدَوَاءٍ»
his father said: "I prayed with the Prophet ﷺ and a man said: 'Alhamdu lillahi hamdan kathiran tayyiban mubarakan fihi (Praise is to Allah, much, good and blessed praise).' When the Prophet ﷺ finished praying, he said: 'Who said that?' The man said: 'It was me, but I did not mean anything but good.' He said: 'The gates of heaven were opened because of it and nothing prevented it from reaching the Throne.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3802)
صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنِالْقَائِلُ؟ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا أَرَدْتُ إِلَّا الْخَيْرَ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ فُتِحَتْ لَهَا أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ فَلَمْ يُنَهْنْهَا دُونَ الْعَرْشِ
Raising the hands in prayer and giving salam to both sides
[AI] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and from his face there was something for me that I would not have liked to have from the face of any man from the desert Arabs. I prayed behind him, and he would raise his hands whenever he said the takbir, and when he raised, and lowered between the two prostrations, and he would give salam to his right and to his left.
أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَكَانَ لِي مِنْ وَجْهِهِ مَا لَاأُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي بِهِ مِنْ وَجْهِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَادِيَةِ الْعَرَبِ. صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَهُ، وَكَانَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ كُلَّمَا كَبَّرَ، وَرَفَعَ، وَوَضَعَ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ، وَيُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ.
I prepare it as a medicine, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: It is no medicine, but an ailment. (Using translation from Muslim 1984)
أَنَّ طَارِقَ بْنَ سُوَيْدٍ الْجُعْفِيَّ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ فَنَهَاهُ أَوْ كَرِهَ لَهُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا نَصْنَعُهَا لِلدَّوَاءِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِدَوَاءٍ وَلَكِنَّهُ دَاءٌ
Warning against unjustly taking land
[AI] I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when two men came to him disputing over a piece of land. One of them said: This man seized my land, O Messenger of Allah, in the pre-Islamic period. He was Imru al-Qays ibn Abis al-Kindi, and his opponent was Rabiah ibn Abdan. He said to him, "Your evidence?" He said: I have no evidence. He said, "Then his oath." He said: Then he will take it. He said, "You have nothing but that." He said: Then when he stood up to swear, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever takes land unjustly will meet Allah ﷻ on the Day of Resurrection while He is angry with him."
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلَانِ يَخْتَصِمَانِ فِي أَرْضٍ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا: إِنَّ هَذَا انْتَزَى عَلَى أَرْضِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، وَهُوَ امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ بْنُ عَابِسٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ، وَخَصْمُهُ رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ عَبْدَانَ. فَقَالَ لَهُ «بَيِّنَتُكَ». قَالَ: لَيْسَ لِي بَيِّنَةٌ. قَالَ: «يَمِينُهُ». قَالَ: إِذًا يَذْهَبُ بِهَا. قَالَ: «لَيْسَ لَكَ إِلَّا ذَلِكَ». قَالَ: فَلَمَّا قَامَ لِيَحْلِفَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ اقْتَطَعَ أَرْضًا ظَالِمًا لَقِيَ اللهَ ﷻ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ».
Prostrating with the forehead and nose on the ground
[AI] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prostrating on the ground, placing his forehead and nose in his prostration.
رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْجُدُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ، وَاضِعًا جَبْهَتَهُ وَأَنْفَهُ فِي سُجُودِهِ.
Placing the hands on the knees during bowing
[AI] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ bow and place his hands on his knees.
رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَكَعَ فَوَضَعَيَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ.
He saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raising his hands at the time of beginning the prayer and reciting takbir, and according to Hammam (the narrator), the hands were lifted opposite to ears. He (the Holy Prophet) then wrapped his hands in his cloth and placed his right hand over his left hand. And when he was about to bow down, he brought out his hands from the cloth, and then lifted them, and then recited takbir and bowed down, and when (he came back to the erect position) he recited:" Allah listened to him who praised Him." And when he prostrated, he prostrated between his two palms. (Using translation from Muslim 401)
أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حِينَ دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ كَبَّرَ وَصَفَ هَمَّامٌ حِيَالَ أُذُنَيْهِ ثُمَّ الْتَحَفَ بِثَوْبِهِ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ أَخْرَجَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ الثَّوْبِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَهُمَا فَكَبَّرَ فَرَكَعَ فَلَمَّا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فَلَمَّا سَجَدَ سَجَدَ بَيْنَ كَفَّيْهِ
Placing the hands level with the ears in prostration
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he prostrated, would place his hands level with his ears.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَجَدَ جَعَلَ يَدَيْهِ حِذَاءَ أُذُنَيْهِ.

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ: «آمِينَ».

Zaidah's describes the Prophet’s ﷺ prayer and hand movements from takbir to tashahhud
[AI] "I will certainly look at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to see how he prays." He said: So I looked at him. He stood and said the takbir, and raised his hands until they were level with his ears. Then he placed his right hand on the back of his left hand, wrist, and forearm. Then he said: When he wanted to bow, he raised his hands likewise and placed his hands on his knees. Then he raised his head and raised his hands likewise. Then he prostrated and placed his palms level with his ears. Then he sat and spread his left foot, then placed his left palm on his left thigh and knee, and put the edge of his right elbow on his right thigh. Then he clasped some of his fingers together, making a circle, then raised his finger, and I saw him moving it, supplicating with it. Then I came after that at a time of cold, and I saw the people wearing clothes, with their hands moving beneath their clothes because of the cold.
قُلْتُ: لَأَنْظُرَنَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَيْفَ يُصَلِّي؟ قَالَ: فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ، قَامَ فَكَبَّرَ، وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى حَاذَتَا أُذُنَيْهِ، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى ظَهْرِ كَفِّهِ الْيُسْرَى، وَالرُّسْغِ وَالسَّاعِدِ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ، رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلَهَا، وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلَهَا، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ، فَجَعَلَ كَفَّيْهِ بِحِذَاءِ أُذُنَيْهِ. ثُمَّ قَعَدَ، فَافْتَرَشَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى، فَوَضَعَ كَفَّهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ وَرُكْبَتِهِ الْيُسْرَى، وَجَعَلَ حَدَّ مِرْفَقِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى، ثُمَّ قَبَضَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ، فَحَلَّقَ حَلْقَةً، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ إِصْبَعَهُ، فَرَأَيْتُهُ يُحَرِّكُهَا يَدْعُو بِهَا. ثُمَّ جِئْتُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فِي زَمَانٍ فِيهِ بَرْدٌ، فَرَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهِمُ الثِّيَابُ، تُحَرَّكُ أَيْدِيهِمْ مِنْ تَحْتِ الثِّيَابِ مِنَ الْبَرْدِ.
Raising the hands and hand placement in prayer
[AI] I saw the Prophet ﷺ: when he said the opening takbir, he raised his hands level with his ears, then when he bowed, and then when he said "Allah hears the one who praises Him" he raised his hands. And I saw him holding his right hand over his left in prayer. Then when he sat, he made a ring with the middle finger and thumb, pointed with the index finger, placed his right hand on his right thigh, and placed his left hand on his left thigh.
رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، حِينَ كَبَّرَ، رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حِذَاءَ أُذُنَيْهِ، ثُمَّ حِينَ رَكَعَ، ثُمَّ حِينَ قَالَ «سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ» رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، وَرَأَيْتُهُ مُمْسِكًا يَمِينَهُ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ. فَلَمَّا جَلَسَ، حَلَّقَ بِالْوُسْطَى وَالْإِبْهَامِ، وَأَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ، وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى، وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُسْرَى.
“A Woman was coerced (i.e., raped) during the time of Messenger of Allah ﷺ He waived the legal punishment for her and carried it out on the one who had attacked her, but he (the narrator) did not say that he rules that she should be given a bridal-money.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2598)
اسْتُكْرِهَتْ امْرَأَةٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَرَأَ عَنْهَا الْحَدَّ وَأَقَامَهُ عَلَى الَّذِي أَصَابَهَا وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَنَّهُ جَعَلَ لَهَا مَهْرًا
Placing the right hand over the left and saying Ameen aloud in prayer
[AI] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ place his right hand on his left in prayer, near the wrist, and raise his hands when he began until they reached his ears. I prayed behind him, and he recited, "not of those who have incurred anger nor of those who are astray" [Al-Fatiha: 7], then he said "Ameen" aloud.
رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى فِي الصَّلَاةِ، قَرِيبًا مِنَ الرُّسْغِ، وَيَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ حِينَ يُوجِبُ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَا أُذُنَيْهِ، وَصَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَهُ فَقَرَأَ ﴿غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ﴾ [الفاتحة: 7]، فَقَالَ «آمِينَ» يَجْهَرُ.
"A bucket was brought to the Prophet; he rinsed his mouth and spat into it, and it was like musk or better than musk, and he rinsed his nostrils outside the bucket." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 659)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِدَلْوٍ مِنْ مَاءِ زَمْزَمَ فَتَمَضْمَضَ فَمَجَّ فِيهِ أَطْيَبَ مِنَ الْمِسْكِ أَوْ قَالَ مِسْكٌ وَاسْتَنْثَرَ خَارِجًا مِنَ الدَّلْوِ
Placing the right hand over the left in prayer
[AI] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placing his right hand over his left in prayer, and he mentioned something similar to the hadith of Ibn Abi Bukayr.
رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْيُسْرَى، فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَبِي بَكَيْرٍ.
How the Prophet ﷺ prayed and gestured with his finger
[AI] I said: I will certainly observe how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prays. So he stood and raised his hands until they were level with his ears, then he took his left hand with his right. Then he said, when he wanted to bow, he raised his hands until they were level with his ears, then placed his hands on his knees. Then he rose and raised his hands like that. Then he prostrated and placed his hands in line with his ears. Then he sat and spread his left leg, and placed his left palm on his left knee, his thigh, in Asim's description. Then he placed the edge of his right elbow on his right thigh, folded thirty, and made a circle. Then I saw him doing like this, and Zuhayr pointed with his first index finger, folded two fingers, and made the thumb into a circle on the second index finger.
قُلْتُ: لَأَنْظُرَنَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَيْفَ يُصَلِّي، فَقَامَ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى حَاذَتَا أُذُنَيْهِ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ شِمَالَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ حِينَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ: رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى حَاذَتَا بِأُذُنَيْهِ، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ حِذَاءَ أُذُنَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَعَدَ فَافْتَرَشَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى، وَوَضَعَ كَفَّهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى رُكْبَتِهِ الْيُسْرَى فَخِذِهِ، فِي صِفَةِ عَاصِمٍ، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ حَدَّ مِرْفَقِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى، وَقَبَضَ ثَلَاثِينَ، وَحَلَّقَ حَلْقَةً، ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُهُ يَقُولُ هَكَذَا، وَأَشَارَ زُهَيْرٌ بِسَبَّابَتِهِ الْأُولَى، وَقَبَضَ إِصْبَعَيْنِ، وَحَلَّقَ الْإِبْهَامَ عَلَى السَّبَّابَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ.
Raising the hands and pointing with the finger in prayer
[AI] He saw the Prophet ﷺ pray, and he said the takbir and raised his hands. Then when he bowed, he raised his hands, and when he raised his head from bowing, he raised his hands. He kept his limbs apart in his bowing and in his prostration. Then when he sat reciting the tashahhud, he placed his right thigh on the left, placed his right hand, pointed with his index finger, and made a circle with the middle finger.
أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى، فَكَبَّرَ، فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا رَكَعَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، وَخَوَّى فِي رُكُوعِهِ، وَخَوَّى فِي سُجُودِهِ، فَلَمَّا قَعَدَ يَتَشَهَّدُ وَضَعَ فَخِذَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى، وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى، وَأَشَارَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ السَّبَّابَةِ، وَحَلَّقَ بِالْوُسْطَى.
How the Prophet ﷺ placed his hands in prayer and bowing
[AI] He saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and described him, saying in it that he placed his right hand over his left. He said: Shu'bah added to it on another occasion: "Then when he was bowing, he placed his hands on his knees and held his arms apart in bowing."
أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَذَكَرَهُ، وَقَالَ فِيهِ: وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى. قَالَ: وَزَادَ فِيهِ شُعْبَةُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى: فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الرُّكُوعِ، وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَجَافَى فِي الرُّكُوعِ.
