It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wa'il bin Hujr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I was present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) set out for the mosque and entered the mihrab, then he raised his hands as he said the takbir, then he placed his right hand upon his left hand over his chest.
