أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ
«أَلَا أُصَلِّي كَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي؟» فَقُلْنَا بَلَى فَقَامَ فَلَمَّا رَكَعَ وَضْعَ رَاحَتَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَجَعَلَ أَصَابِعَهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَجَافَى إِبِطَيْهِ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَامَ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَجَافَى إِبِطَيْهِ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ صَنَعَ كَذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي وَهَكَذَا كَانَ يُصَلِّي بِنَا»

✧ Shall I not pray as I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying? We said: 'Yes.' So he stood, and when he bowed, he placed his palms on his knees, put his fingers behind his knees, and spread his upper arms apart until every part of him settled. Then he raised his head and stood until every part of him settled. Then he prostrated and spread his upper arms apart until every part of him settled. Then he sat until every part of him settled. Then he did that for four rak'ahs, then said: 'Thus I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying, and thus he used to lead us in prayer.'
