zurah bin Abdur-Rahman said: I heard Ibn al-Zubair say: Setting the feet right and placing one hand on the other is a sunnah.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: Abu Uthman an-Nahdi said: When Ibn Masud prayed he placed his left hand on the right. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم saw him and placed his right hand on his left one.

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: Abu Juhayfah said: Ali said that it is a sunnah to place one hand on the other in prayer below the navel.

Jarir ad-Dabbi reported: I saw Ali (Allah be pleased with him) catching hold of his left hand) by his right hand on the wrist above the navel. Abu Dawud said: Saeed bin Jubair narrated the words: "above the navel". Abu Mijlaz reported the words: "below the navel". This has also been narrated by Abu Hurairah. But that is not strong.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: (The established way of folding hands is) to hold the hands by the hands in prayer below the navel. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad bin Hanbal say: The narrator Abdur-Rahman bin Ishaq al-Kufi is weak (i. e. not reliable).

Narrated Tawus: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم used to place his right hand on his left hand, then he folded them strictly on his chest in prayer.
