( وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ الْفَقِيهُ، ثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَا: ثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ:
كَانَ النَّاسُ يُؤْمَرُونَ أَنْ يَضَعَ الرَّجُلُ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى ذِرَاعِهِ الْيُسْرَى فِي الصَّلَاةِ
