English Translation

Wa'il ibn Hujr said: I prayed with the Prophet (peace be upon him). He raised his hands when he said "Allah is the Greatest" (opening takbir), then wrapped himself in his garment. Then he placed his right hand over his left. When he was about to bow, he raised his hands similarly. When he prostrated, he placed his hands parallel to his ears. When he sat for the tashahhud, he bent his left foot and sat upon it, and placed his left hand on his left thigh and knee, and set the elbow of his right hand on his right thigh, then formed a circle (with his fingers) and raised his index finger, and I saw him moving it to make supplication.
