"Malik bin Al-Huwairith used to come to us and say: "Shall I not tell you about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He was praying at a time other than the time of prayer, and when he raised his head from the second prostration in the first rak'ah, he settled in a seated position, then he stood up, and he supported himself on the ground (while doing so)." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1153)   

عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَيُصَلِّي فِي غَيْرِ وَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ فَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السَّجْدَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فِي أَوَّلِ رَكْعَةٍ اسْتَوَى قَاعِدًا وَاعْتَمَدَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ  

[Machine] He used to rely on his hands when he stood up, and likewise Al-Hassan and more than one of the followers used to do.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَعْتَمِدُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ إِذَا نَهَضَ وَكَذَلِكَ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ الْحَسَنُ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ  

[Machine] Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade a man from relying on his hands during prayer. Abu 'Ali al-Rudhbary informed us, Abu Bakr bin Dasa narrated to us, Abu Dawud narrated to us, Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Shabbawayh, and Muhammad bin Rāfiʿ, and Muhammad bin ʿAbd al-Malik al-Ghazzāl said: Abdur-Razzaq narrated it from Maʿmar and mentioned it in a similar way. He said in the wording of the hadith of Ibn Shabbawayh: The man is forbidden to rely on his hands during prayer. Ibn Rāfiʿ said: A man is forbidden to pray while relying on his hands. Ibn ʿAbd al-Malik said: A man is forbidden to rely on his hands when he rises during prayer. This hadith is disputed in its text according to Abdur-Razzaq. And indeed  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ يَعْتَمِدَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى يَدِهِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ 2808 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شَبَّوَيْهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْغَزَّالُ قَالُوا ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَهُ وَقَالَ فِي لَفْظِ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ شَبَّوَيْهِ نَهَى أَنْ يَعْتَمِدَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى يَدِهِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَقَالَ ابْنُ رَافِعٍ نَهَى أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الرَّجُلُ وَهُوَ مُعْتَمِدٌ عَلَى يَدِهِ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ نَهَى أَنْ يَعْتَمِدَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ إِذَا نَهَضَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ قَدِ اخْتُلِفَ فِي مَتْنِهِ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ وَقَدْ  

[Machine] "And in the text of the hadith, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that when a man sits in prayer, he should lean on his left hand. This is the wording of the hadith from Abdullah bin Ahmad. In another narration from Abu Dawood, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade a man from sitting in prayer while leaning on his hand. These are the most clear narrations, and the narration of Ibn Abdul Malik does not contradict them, even if it is clearer than them. And the narration of Ibn Abdul Malik is doubtful, and what indicates that the narration of Ahmad bin Hanbal is intended in this hadith is that Hisham bin Yusuf narrates it."  

وَقَالَ فِي مَتْنِ الْحَدِيثِ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا جَلَسَ الرَّجُلُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ أَنْ يَعْتَمِدَ عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى هَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ الرَّجُلُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَهُوَ مُعْتَمِدٌ عَلَى يَدِهِ وَهَذَا أَبَيْنُ الرِّوَايَاتِ وَرِوَايَةُ غَيْرِ ابْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ لَا تُخَالِفُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ أَبْيَنَ مِنْهَا وَرِوَايَةُ ابْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ وَهْمٌ وَالَّذِي يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ رِوَايَةَ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ هِيَ الْمُرَادُ بِالْحَدِيثِ أَنَّ هِشَامَ بْنَ يُوسُفَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ forbade a man who was sitting with his left hand supporting him in prayer, and he said: "This is the prayer of the Jews."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى رَجُلًا وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ مُعْتَمِدًا عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَقَالَ إِنَّهَا صَلَاةُ الْيَهُودِ  

[Machine] Abdullah saw a man praying while sitting on his knees, leaning on his left hand. He said, "Do not pray like this, as only those who are being punished sit like this."  

رَأَى عَبْدُ اللهِ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي سَاقِطًا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى فَقَالَ لَا تُصَلِّ هَكَذَا إِنَّمَا يَجْلِسُ هَكَذَا الَّذِينَ يُعَذَّبُونَ  

[Machine] Indeed, it is from the Sunnah in the prescribed prayer that when a person stands for the first two units of prayer, he should not lean on the ground with his hands unless he is an elderly person who is unable to do so, like Abu Shuayb, who is Abdul-Rahman ibn Ishaq al-Wasiti al-Qurashi.  

إِنَّ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ إِذَا نَهَضَ الرَّجُلُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ أَنْ لَا يَعْتَمِدَ بِيَدَيْهِ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَبُو شَيْبَةَ هَذَا هُوَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ الْقُرَشِيُّ  

[Machine] To stand up after sitting in the two units of prayer.  

أَنْ تَقُومَ بَعْدَ الْقُعُودِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ
