قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَقَالَ مُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَمَرَ بِوَضْعِ الْيَدَيْنِ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَرَوَى يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَمَرَ بِوَضْعِ الْيَدَيْنِ وَنَصْبِ الْقَدَمَيْنِ ‏.‏ مُرْسَلٌ وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ وُهَيْبٍ ‏.‏ وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَجْمَعَ عَلَيْهِ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ وَاخْتَارُوهُ ‏.‏

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 278

This narration is another chain from Amir bin Sa'd. It reports that the Prophet ordered placing the hands on the ground, and it mentions wording similar to the previous report. The Arabic note says that another route mentioned placing the hands and keeping the feet erect, and that this mursal version was considered stronger in the note. The core lesson remains simple: sujud includes clear placement of the hands. The Hadith does not give many new details in the translation, so the explanation should not add more than the text says. It supports the topic of correct sujud posture, especially the role of the hands during prostration.

What we learn from this hadith

  • This report mentions the order to place the hands in sujud.
  • It is connected to a similar narration about hands and feet in prostration.
  • The focus is on correct body placement during sujud.
  • Even brief chains help preserve details of prayer posture.
