English Translation

Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us: Shu'bah told us, from Asim ibn Kulayb, from his father, from Wa'il al-Hadrami, who said: I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); he said the takbir when he entered the prayer and raised his hand; when he wished to bow he raised his hands; when he raised his head from bowing he raised his hands; he placed his palms down in prostration, keeping his sides apart and his elbows away from his body, and spread his left thigh from his right, and pointed with his index finger.
