Bayhaqi 2748 — Pausing between the two prostrations

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ الرَّزَّازُ مِنْ أَصْلِ كِتَابِهِ، ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نُصَيْرٍ، ثنا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا زَائِدَةُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ، ثنا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: قَالَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو: " أَلَا أُصَلِّي كَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي؟ فَقُلْنَا: بَلَى قَالَ: فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي، فَلَمَّا رَكَعَ وَضَعَ رَاحَتَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَجَعَلَ أَصَابِعَهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَجَافَى إِبْطَيْهِ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَامَ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَجَافَى إِبْطَيْهِ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَعَدَ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ صَنَعَ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي، وَهَكَذَا كَانَ يُصَلِّي بِنَا ".
It is narrated from Abu Abdullah Salim that Uqbah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Shall I not pray the way I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) praying?" We said: "Of course! Please do show us." So he stood up and began to pray. When he bowed, he placed his palms on his knees, placed his fingers around his knees and kept his armpits apart, until everything settled in its place. Then he raised his head from bowing and stood up straight until every limb settled in its place. Then he prostrated, and again kept his arms apart, until everything settled in its place. Then he sat, likewise with calm, until every limb rested in its place. Then he did the same in all four rak'ahs, and after that he said: "This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) praying, and this is how he used to lead us in prayer."
