13. Ata spread his fingers a little then placed them with the tips of his fingers on his forehead then he drew his fingers together on his head until his thumb touched the edge of the ear that is next to the face then moved it to his temple and forehead then he said Were it not that I would impose too much difficulty for my Ummah I would have commanded them to offer this prayer only at this time
