حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : رَكَعْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِ أَبِي ، فَطَبَّقْتُ ، فَضَرَبَ يَدِي وقَالَ : قَدْ كُنَّا نَفْعَلُ هَذَا ثُمَّ " أُمِرْنَا أَنْ نَرْفَعَ إِلَى الرُّكَبِ " .
´It was narrated that Mus’ab bin Sa’d said:` “I bowed (in prayer) beside my father, and I put my hands between my knees. He struck my hand and said: ‘We used to do that, then we were commanded to put them on the knees.’”

Brief Explanation
The meaning of "tatbeeq" is that both hands are joined together, interlacing the fingers, and then the hands are placed between the thighs. This method of bowing (ruku‘) has been abrogated. It is not permissible to act upon a ruling that has been abrogated. The correct method of bowing (ruku‘) is that the hands should be placed on the knees in such a manner as to grasp the knees.

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
Ghulool:
Originally, this refers to betrayal in war booty (ghanimah),
then its usage was extended to every kind of betrayal.
Benefits and Issues:
Abdullah ibn Umar (radi Allahu anhu) said to Ibn Amir, as a form of reprimand and admonition:
You have been the governor of Basrah, and a ruler is liable to fall short in fulfilling the rights of Allah and the rights of the people,
and there can also be negligence regarding the public treasury (bayt al-mal).
Therefore, for such a person, the acceptance of supplication (du'a) becomes difficult.
Thus, you should repent and seek forgiveness (tawbah wa istighfar) and strive to make amends for any usurpation of rights,
so that your supplication may be accepted.
