Bayhaqi 2701 — Placing the palms, raising the elbows and not spreading

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو صَالِحِ بْنُ أَبِي طَاهِرٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، أنبأ جَدِّي يَحْيَى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْقَاضِي، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أنبأ عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، ثنا حُسَيْنٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ، عَنْ بُدَيْلِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْجَوْزَاءِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يَسْتَفْتِحُ الصَّلَاةَ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ، وَالْقِرَاءَةِ بِالْحَمْدِ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ، وَكَانَ إِذَا رَكَعَ لَمْ يُشْخِصْ رَأْسَهُ وَلَمْ يُصَوِّبْهُ، وَكَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ اسْتَوَى قَائِمًا، وَكَانَ إِذَا سَجَدَ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السَّجْدَةِ لَمْ يَسْجُدْ حَتَّى يَسْتَوِيَ جَالِسًا، وَكَانَ يَنْهَى عَنْ عَقِبِ الشَّيْطَانِ، وَكَانَ يَفْتَرِشُ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى، وَيَنْصِبُ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى، وَكَانَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَفْتَرِشَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ افْتِرَاشَ الْكَلْبِ، وَكَانَ يَخْتِمُ الصَّلَاةَ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ التَّحِيَّةَ " رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ.
It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would begin the prayer with the takbir and begin the recitation with "All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds" [Surah al-Fatihah: 2]. When he bowed, he kept his head level, neither lowering it too much nor raising it too high. When he raised his head from bowing, he would stand fully upright, and when he raised his head from prostration, he would not make the second prostration until he had sat upright. He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to forbid squatting on the heels in the manner of Satan. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would lay his left foot flat and keep his right foot upright, and he disliked spreading the forearms the way a dog spreads its forearms. He would conclude the prayer with the salam, and he would recite the tashahhud (al-tahiyyat) after every two rak'ahs.
