Hadith 867
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ قَال أَبُو دَاوُد وَاسْمُهُ وَقْدَان ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : " صَلَّيْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِ أَبِي فَجَعَلْتُ يَدَيَّ بَيْنَ رُكْبَتَيَّ ، فَنَهَانِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَعُدْتُ ، فَقَالَ : لَا تَصْنَعْ هَذَا ، فَإِنَّا كُنَّا نَفْعَلُهُ فَنُهِينَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، وَأُمِرْنَا أَنْ نَضَعَ أَيْدِيَنَا عَلَى الرُّكَبِ " .
Musab b Saad said: I prayed by the side of my father. I put both of my hands between my knees (in bowing condition). He prohibited me from it. I then repeated; so he said: Do not do so, because we used to do so. But we were prohibited to do that, and commanded to put our hands on the knees.

867. Commentary:
The statement of the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum), "We were commanded," or "We were forbidden," all carry the meaning of a marfu' hadith, because there was no one other than the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) who would give them such instructions.
➊ The practice of tatbiq in bowing (ruku‘)—that is, placing the hands between the knees while standing—is an abrogated act. Only Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud (radi Allahu anhu) and a few other Companions continued to act upon it, as will be mentioned in the following hadith.
