[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I want to see how you pray." He said, "Then he faced the Qibla (the direction of prayer towards the Kaaba), raised his hands until they were level with his shoulders, and said 'Allahu Akbar' (Allah is the greatest). He then placed his left hand on his right hand. When he intended to bow, he raised his hands until they were level with his shoulders. When he bowed, he placed his hands on his knees. When he raised his head from bowing, he raised his hands until they were level with his shoulders. When he prostrated, he placed his hands on the ground in front of his face. When he sat, he rested his left foot and placed his left hand on his left knee, and placed his right elbow on his right thigh. He made a ring shape with his fingers, and pointed with his index finger."  

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 الْمَوْضِعِفَلَمَّا قَعَدَ افْتَرَشَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى رُكْبَتِهِ الْيُسْرَى وَوَضَعَ حَدَّ مِرْفَقِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَعَقَدَ ثَلَاثِينَ وَحَلَّقَ وَاحِدَةً وَأَشَارَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ السَّبَّابَةِ  

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I want to see how you pray." He faced the qibla, said takbeer, and raised his hands until they were in line with his shoulders. Then he took his left hand with his right hand. When he wanted to bow, he raised his hands until they were in line with his shoulders. When he bowed, he placed his hands on his knees. When he wanted to raise from the rukoo', he raised his hands until they were in line with his shoulders. When he prostrated, he placed his hands from his face in that position. When he sat, he placed his left foot under him and placed his left hand on his left thigh and placed his right elbow on his right thigh and clasped two fingers and pointed with the index finger. This was narrated by Sufyan Ath-Thawri, Shu'bah bin Al-Hajjaj, Abu Awana, Ghilan bin Jamih, Abu Al-Ahwas, Zaidah bin Qudamah, and a group of narrators from Aasim bin Kulayb, except that some of them said it was the height of his ears, and Ibn Uyaynah agreed with Abdul Wahid bin Ziyad in regards to the position of the shoulders.  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لَأَنْظُرَنَّ كَيْفَ يُصَلِّي فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَكَبَّرَ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى كَانَتَا حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ شِمَالَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى كَانَتَا حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَكَعَ وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى كَانَتَا حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ فَلَمَّا سَجَدَ وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ وَجْهِهِ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعَ فَلَمَّا جَلَسَ افْتَرَشَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُسْرَى وَوَضَعَ حَدَّ مِرْفَقِهِ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَعَقَدَ ثِنْتَيْنِ وَحَلَّقَ وَاحِدَةً وَأَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ وَرَوَاهُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَشُعْبَةُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ وَأَبُو عَوَانَةَ وَغِيلَانُ بْنُ جَامِعٍ وَأَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ وَزَائِدَةُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ وَابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ وَجَمَاعَةٌ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ إِلَّا أَنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ قَالَ حِذَاءَ أُذُنَيْهِ وَوَافَقَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَبْدَ الْوَاحِدِ بْنَ زِيَادٍ فِي الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ
