عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فِي صِفَةِ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ: وَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ التَّحِيَّةَ، وَكَانَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَفْتَرِشَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ افْتِرَاشَ السَّبُعِ، وَكَانَ يَفْرِشُ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى وَيَنْصِبُ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى، وَكَانَ يَنْهَى عَنْ عَقِبِ الشَّيْطَانِ، وَكَانَ يَخْتِمُ الصَّلَاةَ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ
Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) describes the manner of the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace and blessings be upon him) prayer: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite the Tashahhud in every two rak‘ahs. He disliked that a person should spread his arms (in prostration) like a wild beast. He would lay his left foot flat and keep his right foot upright, and he forbade the sitting posture of the devil. He would conclude the prayer with salam.
