Bayhaqi 2323 — Placing the right hand on the left in prayer

أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ، بِبَغْدَادَ أنبأ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الرَّزَّازُ، أنبأ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شَاكِرٍ، ثنا عَفَّانُ، ثنا هَمَّامٌ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جُحَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، وَمَوْلًى لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمَا حَدَّثَاهُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ أَنَّهُ " رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ كَبَّرَ " قَالَ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ: وَصَفَ هَمَّامٌ " حِيَالَ أُذُنَيْهِ، ثُمَّ الْتَحَفَ بِثَوْبِهِ، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى، فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ أَخْرَجَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ الثَّوْبِ، وَرَفَعَهُمَا فَكَبَّرَ فَلَمَّا قَالَ: سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا سَجَدَ سَجَدَ بَيْنَ كَفَّيْهِ " رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ عَفَّانَ.
It is narrated from Wa'il bin Hujr (may Allah be pleased with him), the father of Abd al-Jabbar, that he saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): when he (peace and blessings be upon him) began the prayer, he said the takbir.
Abu Uthman said: Hammam described it thus: he raised his hands up to the level of his ears, then wrapped them in his garment. Then he placed his right hand on his left hand, and when he intended to bow, he brought his hands out of the cloth, raised them and then said the takbir. When he said 'Sami' Allahu liman hamidah' (Allah has heard the one who praises Him), he raised his hands then as well, and when he prostrated, he prostrated between his two palms.
