When he prostrated himself, his knees fell on the ground before his hands had fallen. Hemmam said: This tradition has also been transmitted by ‘Asim b. Kulaib through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. And one of these two versions, and probably the version narrated by Muhammad b. Juhadah, has the words: When he stood up (after prostration), he stood up on his knees taking the support of his thighs.

machine translationMuḥammad b. Maʿmar narrated to us, Ḥajjāj b. Minhāl narrated to us, Hammām narrated to us, Muḥammad b. Juḥādah narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-Jabbār b. Wāʾil, from his father, that the Prophet ﷺ — and he mentioned the hadith of the prayer — said: When he prostrated, his two knees reached the ground before his two palms did. Hammām said: And Shaqīq narrated to us, he said: ʿĀṣim b. Kulayb narrated to me, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ, the like of this. And in the hadith of one of them — and most of my knowledge is that it is in the hadith of Muḥammad b. Juḥādah — "And when he rose, he rose upon his knees and leaned upon his thigh."
