Chapter on Placing One Hand Over the Other in Prayer
Muwatta Malik (Yahya) 378 — on Placing One Hand Over the Other
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " كَانَ النَّاسُ يُؤْمَرُونَ ، أَنْ يَضَعَ الرَّجُلُ الْيَدَ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى ذِرَاعِهِ الْيُسْرَى فِي الصَّلَاةِ " . قَالَ أَبُو حَازِمٍ : لَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يَنْمِي ذَلِكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him) that people were commanded to place the right hand over the left hand in prayer. Abu Hazim said that I think Sayyiduna Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) used to attribute this hadith as marfu’ (i.e., to the Prophet ﷺ).
