I said to myself, "Let me observe how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prays."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood and faced the qiblah. He raised his hands until they were level with his ears, then grasped his left hand with his right. When he intended to bow, he raised them in the same manner, then placed his hands on his knees. When he lifted his head from the bowing position, he raised them again in the same way. When he prostrated, he placed his head between his hands at that same level.Then he sat, spreading out his left leg beneath him, placing his left hand on his left thigh, and resting the edge of his right elbow on his right thigh. He folded two of his fingers and formed a ring with another, and I saw him gesturing like this.Bishr demonstrated by pointing with the index finger of his right hand and forming a circle with his thumb and middle finger.
أخبرنا إسمعيل بن مسعود قال أنبأنا بشر بن المفضل قال حدثنا عاصم بن كليب عن أبيه
قلت لأنظرن إلى صلاة رسول الله ﷺ كيف يصلي فقام رسول الله ﷺ فاستقبل القبلة فرفع يديه حتى حاذتا أذنيه ثم أخذ شماله بيمينه فلما أراد أن يركع رفعهما مثل ذلك ووضع يديه على ركبتيه فلما رفع رأسه من الركوع رفعهما مثل ذلك فلما سجد وضع رأسه بذلك المنزل من يديه ثم جلس فافترش رجله اليسرى ووضع يده اليسرى على فخذه اليسرى وحد مرفقه الأيمن على فخذه اليمنى وقبض ثنتين وحلق ورأيته يقول هكذا وأشار بشر بالسبابة من اليمنى وحلق الإبهام والوسطى
