Hadith 1512

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ ثَنَا زَائِدَةُ ثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي أَنَّ وَائِلَ بْنَ حُجْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: لَأَنْظُرَنَّ إِلَى صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَيْفَ يُصَلِّي، قَالَ: فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ قَامَ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ) فَكَبَّرَ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى حَاذَتَا أُذُنَيْهِ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ حَتَّى كَانَتَا حَذْوَ مَنْكَبَيْهِ) ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى ظَهْرِ كَفِّهِ الْيُسْرَى وَالرُّسْغِ وَالسَّاعِدِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلَهَا فَلَمَّا رَكَعَ وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلَهَا، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَجَعَلَ كَفَّيْهِ بِحِذَاءِ أُذُنَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَعَدَ فَافْتَرَشَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى فَوَضَعَ كَفَّهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ وَرُكْبَتِهِ الْيُسْرَى، وَجَعَلَ حَدَّ مِرْفَقِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى، ثُمَّ قَبَضَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ فَحَلَّقَ حَلْقَةً (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: حَلَّقَ بِالْوُسْطَى وَالْإِبْهَامِ وَأَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ) ثُمَّ رَفَعَ إِصْبَعَهُ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يُحَرِّكُهَا يَدْعُو بِهَا، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فِي زَمَانٍ فِيهِ بَرْدٌ فَرَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهِمُ الثِّيَابُ تَحَرَّكُ أَيْدِيهِمْ مِنْ تَحْتِ الثِّيَابِ مِنَ الْبَرْدِ
Sayyiduna Wa’il bin Hujr (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I said that I will definitely, definitely observe the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to see how he performs the prayer. So I saw that he stood facing the Qiblah, said Allahu Akbar, and raised his hands up to his ears or shoulders. Then he placed his right hand on the back of his left hand’s palm, wrist, and forearm. When he intended to bow (ruku‘), he again raised his hands in the same manner, placed his hands on his knees in ruku‘, and when rising from ruku‘, again raised his hands in the same way. Then he performed prostration (sajdah) and placed his palms level with his ears. When he sat, he spread his left foot and placed his left palm on his left thigh and knee, and set the edge of his right elbow on his right thigh. Then he closed the fingers of his (right) hand in such a way that he made a circle with the thumb and middle finger, and raised the index finger and pointed with it. I saw that he was moving this finger and supplicating with it. After that, I came at a time when it was cold, and I saw that people had clothes on, and due to the cold, their hands would move under their garments.
