Sunan Abi Dawud, 726

Rapporté par Wa’il ibn Hujr رضي الله عنه : J’ai observé exprès la prière du Messager d’Allah ﷺ, comment il l’accomplissait. Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ s’est levé, s’est tourné vers la qiblah et a prononcé le takbir (Allah est le plus grand), puis il a levé les mains devant ses oreilles, puis il a posé sa main droite sur la gauche (en les tenant). Quand il allait s’incliner, il les levait de la même manière. Ensuite, il posait les mains sur ses genoux. Quand il relevait la tête après l’inclinaison, il les levait de la même façon. Lorsqu’il se prosternait, il posait son front entre ses mains. Ensuite, il s’asseyait, étendait son pied gauche et posait sa main gauche sur sa cuisse gauche, et gardait son coude droit éloigné de sa cuisse droite. Il fermait deux doigts et formait un cercle (avec les doigts). J’ai vu (Asim ibn Kulayb) Bishr ibn al-Mufaddal faire ainsi : il formait le cercle avec le pouce et le majeur et pointait l’index

Narrated Wa'il ibn Hujr: I purposely looked at the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), how he offered it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up, faced the direction of the qiblah and uttered the takbir (Allah is most great) and then raised his hands in front of his ears, then placed his right hand on his left (catching each other). When he was about to bow, he raised them in the same manner. He then placed his hands on his knees. When he raised his head after bowing, he raised them in the like manner. When he prostrated himself he placed his forehead between his hands. He then sat down and spread his left foot and placed his left hand on his left thigh, and kept his right elbow aloof from his right thigh. He closed his two fingers and made a circle (with the fingers). I (Asim ibn Kulayb) saw him (Bishr ibn al-Mufaddal) say in this manner. Bishr made the circle with the thumb and the middle finger and pointed with the forefinger
