➖ ➖ ➖
🕌 43. Not putting One’s hands on One’s Hips when Praying
Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) forbade putting the hands on the hips during prayer.”
[Abu Dawood, no. 947].
Ziyaad ibn Subayh al-Hanafi said: “I prayed beside Ibn ‘Umar (رضي الله عنه) and I put my hand on my hip, but he struck my hand. When he had finished praying, he said, “This is crossing in prayer. The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) used to forbid this.”
[Reported by Imaam Ahmad, 2/106 and others. Classed as saheeh by al-Haafiz al-‘Iraaqi in Takhreej al-Ihyaa’. See al-Irwaa’, 2/94].
It was reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said that this posture is how the people of Hell rest; we seek refuge with Allaah (ﷻ) from that.
[Reported by al-Bayhaqi from Abu Hurayrah. Al-‘Iraaqi said, its isnaad appears to be Saheeh].
🕌 44. Neither Covering the Mouth nor Letting One’s Clothes hang down During Prayer
The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) forbade letting one’s clothes hang down during prayer or for a man to cover his mouth.
[Reported by Abu Dawood, no. 643; Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 6883. ‘Awn al-Ma’bood 2/347, Marqaat alMafaateeh 2/236].
🕌 45. Not resembling Animals (in postures) while Praying
We have been prohibited to be similar to or imitate a number of postures or actions of animals when we pray.
The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) forbade three things in prayer: pecking like a crow, spreading one’s forearms like a carnivore, or always praying in the same place like a camel keeping to its own territory.
[Reported by Ahmad, 3/428].
In another narration: “He forbade me to peck like a cockerel, to sit like a dog or to turn like a fox.”
[Reported by Imaam Ahmad, 2/311; Saheeh al-Targheeb, no. 556].
