This tradition has been narrated by Sufyan through a different chain of transmitters. This version does not have the words“then he did not repeat”. Sufyan said: The words“then he did not repeat“ were narrated to us later on at Kufah by him (Yazid). Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by Hushaim, Khalid, and Ibn Idris from Yazid. They did not mention the words“then he did not repeat”

Narrated Al-Bara ibn Azib: I saw that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم raised his hands when he began prayer, but he did not raise them until he finished (prayer). Abu Dawud said: This tradition is not sound.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: When the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم began his prayer, he raised his hands extensively.

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.

Ali bin Abi Talib said: When the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم stood up for prayer, he uttered the takbir (Allah is most great), then said: I have turned my face, breaking with all others, towards Him Who created the heavens and the earth, and I am not a polytheist. My prayer and my devotion, my life and my death belong to Allah, the Lord of the Universe, Who has no partner. That is what I have been commanded, and I am first of Muslims (those who surrender themselves). O Allah, Thou art the King. There is no God but Thee. Thou art my Lord and I am Thy servant. I have wronged myself, but I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me all my sins; Thou Who alone canst forgive sins; and guide me to the best qualities. Thou Who alone canst guide to the best of them; and turn me from evil ones. Thou who alone canst turn from evil qualities. I come to serve and please Thee. All good is in Thy Hands, and evil does not pertain to Thee. I seek refuge in Thee and turn to Thee, Who art blessed and exalted. I ask Thy forgiveness and turn to thee in repentance. When he bowed, he said: O Allah, to Thee I bow, in Thee I trust, and to Thee I submit myself. My hearing, my sight, my brain, my bone and my sinews humble themselves before Thee. When he raised his head, he said: Allah listens to him who praises Him. O our lord, and all praises be to Thee in the whole of the heavens and the earth, and what is between them, and in whatever Thou creates afterwards. When he prostrated himself, he said: O Allah, to Thee I prostrate myself, to Thee I trust, and to Thee I submit myself. My face prostrated itself before Him Who created it, fashioned it, and fashioned it in the best shape, and brought forth its hearing and seeing. Blessed is Allah, the best of creators. When he saluted at the end of the prayer, he said: O Allah, forgive me my former and my latter sins, my open and secret sins, my sins in exceeding the limits, and what Thou knowest better than I. Thou art He Who puts forward and puts back. There is deity but Thee.
