2. Book of Ṣalāh
٢۔ كِتَابُ الصَّلَاةِ
"I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he prostrated, he lowered his knees before his hands, and when he came up he raised his hands before his knees." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1089)
رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا سَجَدَ يَضَعُ رُكْبَتَيْهِ قَبْلَ يَدَيْهِ وَإِذَا نَهَضَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ قَبْلَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you prays, let him not cross his legs like a camel does, and let him place his hands before his knees." Abdullah was asked, "What do you say?" He said, "It is all good." The people of Kufa preferred the first option."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يَبْرُكْ كَمَا يَبْرُكُ الْبَعِيرُ وَلْيَضَعْ يَدَيْهِ قَبْلَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ» قِيلَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَا تَقُولُ؟ قَالَ كُلُّهُ طَيِّبٌ وَقَالَ أَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ يَخْتَارُونَ الْأَوَّلَ
