This tradition has also been transmitted through a different chain of narrators by Rifaah bin Rafi. This version goes: When you get up and face the qiblah, what Allah wishes you to recite. And when you bow, put your palms on your knees and stretch out your back. When you prostrate yourself, do it completely ( so that you are at the rest). When you raise yourself then sit on your left thigh.
