عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هَارُونَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: نُهِيَ عَنْ الْاِخْتِصَارِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، قَالَ: قُلْنَا لِهِشَامٍ: مَا الْاِخْتِصَارُ؟ قَالَ: يَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى خَصْرِهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي، قَالَ يَزِيدُ: قُلْنَا لِهِشَامٍ: ذَكَرَهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ بِرَأْسِهِ: نَعَمْ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Making shortcuts in prayer has been prohibited. The narrator said: We asked Hisham, "What is making shortcuts?" He said: It is when a person prays with his hands placed on his waist. Yazid said: We asked Hisham whether he mentioned this from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)? He nodded his head in affirmation.
