It wasnarrated that ‘Amrah said: “I asked ‘Aishah: ‘How did theMessenger of Allah (ﷺ) perform prayer?’ She said: ‘When theProphet(ﷺ) performed ablution, he would put his hand in the vesseland sayBismillah, and he would perform ablution properly. Then hewould standand face the Qiblah. He would say the Takbir raising hishandsparallel to his shoulders. Then he would bow, putting his handson hisknees and keeping his arms away from his sides. Then he wouldraisehis head and straighten his back, and he would stand a littlelongerthan your standing. Then he would prostrate, pointing hishandstowards the Qiblah, keeping his arms away (from his sides) asmuch aspossible, according to what I have seen. Then he would raisehis headand sit on his left foot with his right foot held upright,and hedisliked leaning towards his left side.’”
Hadith In Arabic Text :
حدثنا أبو بكر بن أبي شيبة، حدثنا عبدة بن سليمان، عن حارثة بن أبي الرجال، عن عمرة، قالت سألت عائشة كيف كانت صلاة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قالت كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا توضأ فوضع يديه في الإناء سمى الله ويسبغ الوضوء ثم يقوم فيستقبل القبلة فيكبر ويرفع يديه حذاء منكبيه ثم يركع فيضع يديه على ركبتيه ويجافي بعضديه ثم يرفع رأسه فيقيم صلبه ويقوم قياما هو أطول من قيامكم قليلا ثم يسجد فيضع يديه تجاه القبلة ويجافي بعضديه ما استطاع فيما رأيت ثم يرفع رأسه فيجلس على قدمه اليسرى وينصب اليمنى ويكره أن يسقط على شقه الأيسر .
