(89) بَابُ وَضْعِ الْيَمِينِ عَلَى الشِّمَالِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ قَبْلَ افْتِتَاحِ الْقِرَاءَةِ.Chapter 89: Placing the right hand over the left in prayer before starting recitation
Hadith 478
نا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، قَالَ : نا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ ، قَالَ : " كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : لأَنْظُرَنَّ إِلَى صَلاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ يُصَلِّي ، فَرَأَيْتُهُ حِينَ كَبَّرَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى حَاذَتَا أُذُنَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَأَمْسَكَهَا " ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
Sayyiduna Wa’il bin Hujr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I was among those people who came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) (to accept Islam and learn religious matters). So I said that I will definitely observe the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to see how he performs the prayer. So I saw that when he said « اللهُ أَكْبَرُ », he raised both his hands until they were level with his ears, then he placed his right hand over his left hand and held it. Then the rest of the hadith was narrated.
