Sunan Abu Dawud 859 — The Prayer Of One Whose Back Does Not Come

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, utter the takbir, then recite Umm al-Quran and 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.
