Narrated Wail ibn Hujr: I saw that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم placed his knees (on the ground) before placing his hands when he prostrated himself. And when he stood up, he raised his hands before his knees.

The above-mentioned tradition has also been transmitted by Wail bin Hujr through a different chain of narrators. This version has: When he prostrated himself, his knees fell on the ground before his hands had fallen. Hemmam said: This tradition has also been transmitted by Asim bin Kulaib through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. And one of these two versions, and probably the version narrated by Muhammad bin Juhadah, has the words: When he stood up (after prostration), he stood up on his knees taking the support of his thighs.

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: when one of you prostrates himself he must not kneel in the manner of camel, but should put down his hands before his knees.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: (Does) one of you kneel down in his prayer as a camel kneels down (i. e. put his knees before his hands).
