[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to spread his arms when he prayed until his armpits were visible. Abu Salih Al-Juhani said in his narration that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , when he prostrated, would move his arms away from his sides until the whiteness of his armpits could be seen.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى فَرَّجَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ إِبِطَاهُ وَقَالَ أَبُو صَالِحٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ فِي حَدِيثِهِ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَجَدَ جَافَى عَضُدَيْهِ عَنْ جَنْبَيْهِ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ إِبِطَيْهِ  

[Machine] Indeed, the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , used to raise his arms until his armpits could be seen when he prayed.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى فَرَّجَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ إِبِطَيْهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to prostrate, and even if she (referring to an animal) wanted, a beast could pass between his hands.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَجَدَ لَوْ شَاءَتْ بَهِيمَةٌ أَنْ تَمُرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مَرَّتْ  

[Machine] "Maimuna, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he prostrated, he would spread his hands, meaning he would extend them outward until his armpits could be seen from behind him. And when he sat, he would place his left thigh."  

عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَجَدَ خَوَّى بِيَدَيْهِ يَعْنِي جَنَحَ حَتَّى يَرَوْا وَضَحَ إِبِطَيْهِ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَإِذَا قَعَدَ اطْمَأَنَّ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُسْرَى  

[Machine] "He was with his father in the valley of Namarah when a caravan passed by them. They moved aside from the road, and my father told me to stay hidden until I get closer to those caravans so that I can ask the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . So, I approached until the prayer was established, and behold, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , was among them. I looked at the armpits of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , every time he prostrated. Ya'qub said, 'He said so from Namarah, and the correct one is Sumrah.' He made an error in it just as Ibn Mubarak did."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ أَبِيهِ بِالْقَاعِ مِنْ نَمِرَةَ فَمَرَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَكْبٌ فَأَنَاخُوا بِنَاحِيَةِ الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ لِي أَبِي كُنْ فِي بَهْمِكَ حَتَّى أَدْنُوَ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّكْبِ أُسَائِلُهُ قَالَ فَدَنَا وَدَنَوْتُ حَتَّى أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهِمْ فَكُنْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى عُفْرَتَيْ إِبِطَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كُلَّمَا سَجَدَ قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ هَكَذَا قَالَ مِنْ نَمِرَةَ وَالصَّحِيحُ ثَمِرَةُ أَخْطَأَ فِيهِ كَمَا أَخْطَأَ فِيهِ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ أَيْضًا  

I came to the Prophet ﷺ from behind. I saw the whiteness of his armpits and he kept his arms away from his sides and raised his stomach (from the ground). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 899)   

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ فَرَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبِطَيْهِ وَهُوَ مُجِخٌّ قَدْ فَرَّجَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to jukh when he prayed. Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us, saying: I heard Abu Zakariyya Al-Anbari saying, "A person jukhs in his prayer when he extends his fingers and spreads them out during the rukoo' and sujood."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى جَخَّ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا زَكَرِيَّا الْعَنْبَرِيَّ يَقُولُ جَخَّ الرَّجُلُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ إِذَا مَدَّ ضَبْعَيْهِ وَتَجَافَى فِي الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to raise his arms when he prostrated, until the whiteness of his armpits could be seen.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَجَدَ تَجَافَى حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ إِبِطَيْهِ  

“We used to feel sorry for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ because he took pains to keep his arms away from his sides when he prostrated.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 886)   

ثنا أَحْمَرُ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنْ كُنَّا لَنَأْوِي لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِمَّا يُجَافِي بِيَدَيْهِ عَنْ جَنْبَيْهِ إِذَا سَجَدَ
