Bayhaqi 2632 — Placing the knees before the hands

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ، ثنا الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْعَطَّارُ، ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: " رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَبَّرَ فَحَاذَى بِإِبْهَامَيْهِ أُذُنَيْهِ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ مَفْصِلٍ مِنْهُ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ، وَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ مَفْصِلٍ مِنْهُ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ، ثُمَّ انْحَطَّ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ حَتَّى سَبَقَتْ رُكْبَتَاهُ يَدَيْهِ " تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَاللهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فِي وَضْعِ الرُّكْبَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْيَدَيْنِ مِنْ فِعْلِهِمَا.
(a) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say the takbir, and he raised his two thumbs up to his ears; then he bowed until every joint settled in its place; then he raised his head from bowing until every joint was straight in its place; then he went down into prostration saying the takbir, until his knees touched the ground before his hands.
(b) An account of placing the knees before the hands, from the practice of Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with them both).
Al-Ala' bin Isma'il is alone in narrating it, and Allah Almighty knows best.
