أَخْبَرَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْقُومَسِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ
عَلَّمَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الصَّلَاةَ فَقَامَ فَكَبَّرَ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ طَبَّقَ يَدَيْهِ بَيْنَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَرَكَعَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ سَعْدًا فَقَالَ صَدَقَ أَخِي قَدْ كُنَّا نَفْعَلُ هَذَا ثُمَّ أُمِرْنَا بِهَذَا يَعْنِي الْإِمْسَاكَ بِالرُّكَبِ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught us the prayer. He stood and said the takbir. When he wanted to bow, he clasped his hands between his knees and bowed. That reached Sa'd, so he said: 'My brother has spoken the truth. We used to do this, then we were commanded with this' – meaning holding the knees.
