It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any of you prays, he should not sit as a camel sits, and he should place his hands on the ground before his knees." Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: What do you say about this (i.e., in prostration, should one place the hands first or the knees)? He replied: Both ways are correct, and he said that the people of Kufa prefer to place the knees first.
