Learn how to perform SALAH according to SUNNAH [A step-by-step guide]

To Place the Right Arm on the Left Arm, and the command for it

“He (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) used to place his right arm on his left arm”, and he (Peace be upon him) used to say: We, the company of prophets, have been commanded to hasten the breaking of the fast, to delay the meal before the fast, and to place our right arms on our left arms during prayer.

Also “he (Peace be upon him) passed by a man who was praying and had placed his left arm on his right, so he (Peace be upon him) pulled them apart and placed the right on the left.”

To Place the Hands on the Chest:

“He (Peace be upon him) used to place the right arm on the back of his left palm, wrist and forearm”, “and he commanded his companions to do likewise”, and (sometimes) “he (Peace be upon him) would grasp his left arm with his right.”

“He (Peace be upon him) used to place them on his chest.”

Also “he used to forbid putting one’s hand on the waist during prayer [and he put his hand on his waist (to demonstrate)]”. And this is the “silb” which he used to forbid.

May we never miss even a single prayer and may Allah accept it from us, ameen
