[Machine] I attended the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he went to the mosque. He entered the mihrab (prayer niche) and raised his hands with takbeer (saying "Allahu Akbar"). Then he placed his right hand over his left hand on his chest. Additionally, Muwatta Malik narrated from Thawri from Aasim ibn Kulayb from his father from Wail that he saw the Prophet ﷺ placing his right hand on his left hand, then placing them on his chest. Abu Bakr ibn al-Harith informed us, Abu Muhammad ibn Hayyan informed us, Muhammad ibn al-Abbas informed us, and Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna informed us, all of them mentioned this.  

حَضَرْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَوْ حِينَ نَهَضَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَدَخَلَ الْمِحْرَابَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَمِينَهُ عَلَى يُسْرَاهُ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ 2336 وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الثَّوْرِيِّ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ وَائِلٍ أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَضَعَ يَمِينَهُ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ ثُمَّ وَضَعَهُمَا عَلَى صَدْرِهِ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ثنا أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ حَيَّانَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ثنا مُؤَمَّلٌ فَذَكَرَهُ  

[Machine] His right hand was placed on the middle of his left hand, then he placed it on his chest. 2338 Abu Al-Harith narrated from Shayban, who narrated from Hammad, who narrated from Asim Al-Ahwal, from a man, from Anas, who said something similar, or he said from the Prophet ﷺ .  

وَضْعُ يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى وَسَطِ يَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى ثُمَّ وَضَعَهَا عَلَى صَدْرِهِ 2338 وَقَالَ وَثنا أَبُو الْحَرِيشِ ثنا شَيْبَانُ ثنا حَمَّادٌ ثنا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ مِثْلَهُ أَوْ قَالَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

[Machine] Placing the right hand over the left hand during prayer at the time of slaughter.  

وَضْعُ الْيَمِينِ عَلَى الشِّمَالِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عِنْدَ النَّحْرِ  

[Machine] To ask Sa'id where the hands should be during prayer, whether above the navel or below the navel. So I asked him about it and he said above the navel, meaning Sa'id bin Jubayr, and this is also what Abu Majlaz Laheq bin Humaid said. And the most authentic narration on this topic is the narration of Sa'id bin Jubayr and Abu Majlaz, and it is also narrated from Ali that it is below the navel, and in its chain of narrators is a weakness.  

أَنْ أَسْأَلَ سَعِيدًا أَيْنَ تَكُونُ الْيَدَانِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟ فَوْقَ السُّرَّةِ أَوْ أَسْفَلَ مِنَ السُّرَّةِ؟ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ فَوْقَ السُّرَّةِ يَعْنِي بِهِ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ وَكَذَلِكَ قَالَهُ أَبُو مِجْلَزٍ لَاحِقُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ وَأَصَحُّ أَثَرٍ رُوِيَ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ أَثَرُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ وَأَبِي مِجْلَزٍ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ تَحْتَ السُّرَّةِ وَفِي إِسْنَادِهِ ضَعْفٌ  

[Machine] Indeed, it is from the Sunnah (tradition of the Prophet) during prayer to place one hand on top of the other beneath the navel, just as mentioned.  

إِنَّ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَضْعُ الْكَفِّ عَلَى الْكَفِّ تَحْتَ السُّرَّةِ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] About Abu Hurairah, the same goes for Abdur-Rahman ibn Ishaq. They are both reliable.  

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ كَذَلِكَ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ مَتْرُوكٌ
