Abu hurairah said that the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) forbade putting hands on the waist during prayer. Abu Dawud said; The word Ikhtisar means to put one’s hands on one’s waist. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 947)   

الحاكم:٩٧٤ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَبْدِيُّ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ الْحَلَبِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

«نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الِاخْتِصَارِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْعَبْدِيُّ وَهُوَ أَنْ يَضَعَ الرَّجُلُ يَدَهُ عَلَى خَاصِرَتِهِ «»  

هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ وَهُوَ رَوَاهُ جَمَاعَةٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ «نَهَى أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الرَّجُلُ مُخْتَصِرًا» على شرطهما
