It was narrated that Abu Qibalah said: "Malik bin Al-Huwairith used to come to us and say: "Shall I not tell you about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم )?" He was praying at a time other than the time of prayer, and when he raised his head from the second prostration in the first rak'ah, he settled in a seated position, then he stood up, and he supported himself on the ground (while doing so)."

It was narrated that Malik bin Al-Huwairith said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) pray, and when he was in an odd-numbered rak'ah, he did not get up until he had settled in a sitting position."
