Narrated Wa'il ibn Hujr: I said that I should look at the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) how he prays. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up and faced the qiblah (i.e. the direction of Ka'bah) and uttered the takbir (Allah is most great); then he raised his hands till he brought them in front of his ears; then he caught hold of his left hand with his right hand (i.e. folded his hands). When he was about to bow, he raised them (his hands) in a like manner. Then he sat, stretched out his left foot (to sit on it), placed his left hand on his left thigh, and kept away the tip of his right elbow from his right thigh, joined two fingers, formed a ring, to do so. And the narrator Bishr made a ring with the thumb and the middle finger

حدثنا مسدد، حدثنا بشر بن المفضل، عن عاصم بن كليب، عن ابيه، عن وايل بن حجر، قال قلت لانظرن الى صلاة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كيف يصلي فقام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاستقبل القبلة فكبر فرفع يديه حتى حاذتا باذنيه ثم اخذ شماله بيمينه فلما اراد ان يركع رفعهما مثل ذلك - قال - ثم جلس فافترش رجله اليسرى ووضع يده اليسرى على فخذه اليسرى وحد مرفقه الايمن على فخذه اليمنى وقبض ثنتين وحلق حلقة ورايته يقول هكذا وحلق بشر الابهام والوسطى واشار بالسبابة
