Narrated Uqbah Ibn Amr AlAnsari: Salim AlBarrad said: We came to Abu Masud Uqbah Ibn Amr AlAnsari and said to him: Tell us about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He stood up before us in the Masjid and said the takbir. When he bowed; he placed his hands upon his knees and put his fingers below; and kept his elbows arms away from his sides; so everything returned properly to its place. Then he said: Allah listens to him who praises Him; then he stood up so that everything returned properly to its place; then he said the takbir and prostrated and put the palms of his hands on the ground; he kept his elbow arms away from his sides; so that everything returned to its proper place. Then he raised his head and sat so that everything returned to its place; he then repeated it in a similar way. Then he offered four rakahs of prayer like this rakah and completed his prayer. Then he said: Thus we witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offering his prayer.
