Jami at-TirmidhiHadith Number 288
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ إِلْيَاسَ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، مَوْلَى التَّوْأَمَةِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَنْهَضُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ عَلَى صُدُورِ قَدَمَيْهِ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَلَيْهِ الْعَمَلُ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَخْتَارُونَ أَنْ يَنْهَضَ الرَّجُلُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ عَلَى صُدُورِ قَدَمَيْهِ . وَخَالِدُ بْنُ إِلْيَاسَ هُوَ ضَعِيفٌ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ . قَالَ وَيُقَالُ خَالِدُ بْنُ إِيَاسٍ أَيْضًا . وَصَالِحٌ مَوْلَى التَّوْأَمَةِ هُوَ صَالِحُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ . وَأَبُو صَالِحٍ اسْمُهُ نَبْهَانُ وَهُوَ مَدَنِيٌّ .

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 288
This Hadith about rising in Salah says that Allah's Messenger would get up during his prayer on the tips or fronts of his feet. The narration gives a simple detail about movement in prayer. It does not include a long instruction from the Prophet, but it describes how he rose. The Arabic note says the practice was chosen by people of knowledge, while also noting weakness in one narrator. So the safe explanation is to present it as a reported prayer posture detail. For people learning how to stand up in Salah, this narration highlights that even small movements were noticed and passed down by the early Muslims.
What we learn from this hadith
- Small details of the Prophet's prayer were carefully narrated.
- Rising in prayer is part of the taught prayer movement.
- Reports about prayer posture should be read with attention to the narration notes.
