A man keeping his fingers together in prostration

Muhammad (Ibn Sirin) said: The early generations used to like that, when a man prostrates, he should place his hands like this. Saying this, the narrator Azhar showed it by joining the fingers of his hand together.

Ibrahim said: When you prostrate, do not bring your palms together, and keep your fingers spread out.

Abd al-Rahman bin al-Qasim said: I prayed beside Hafs bin Asim. When I went into prostration, I kept my fingers open and turned my palms away from the qiblah. When I had said the salam, he said: "O my nephew, when you prostrate, keep your fingers together and keep your hands facing the qiblah, for the hands prostrate along with the face."

Waki' said: Sufyan used to keep his fingers open in bowing and keep them together in prostration.
