[quote][purple]also a very good example has been given above, of the practical matters in deen as explained by the prophet sws. our recent issues of the monthly Renaissance journal give details of prayers as explained by him in practice-also clarifying many important points which have unnecessarily caused differences amongst various sects of muslims, due to lack of knowledge. (Renaissance journal compliments the teachings we endeavour to spread through this website and other sister sites of ours.)[/purple]

[red]i. Raf‘ al-Yadayn[/red]

[blue]Sometimes, the Prophet (sws) would do raf‘ al-yadayn while saying the takbir, sometimes before it and sometimes after it.[45] His hands would be open, and he would not completely join together the fingers of the hand nor open them completely.[46] He would sometimes raise his hands up to the level of his shoulders, and sometimes as high as the upper portion of the ears.[47]

It is evident from certain narratives that the Prophet (sws) at some instances did the raf‘ al-yadayn before and after the ruku‘.[48] Similarly, he would also do it after getting up from the third rak‘at[49] and sometimes before and after prostrating too.[50] [/blue]

[red]ii. Qiyam[/red]

[blue]In the qiyam position[51], he would stand straight with hands tied in front.[52] He would hold his hands in a manner that a part of the right hand would be placed on the back of the left hand, a part of it below the left hand and a part on the wrist.[53] He stopped people from tying hands in a manner that the left hand be placed on top of the right one.[54]

There are some Ahadith which mention that the Prophet (sws) tied his hands on his chest.[55] This depiction can be understood to mean any place above the naval on which hands are tied. Thus it does not necessarily follow, as certain people have concluded, that the Prophet (sws) tied hands right on the chest. [/blue]
