Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى الْقُومَسِيُّ الْبَسْطَامِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ هَارُونَ - قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا سَجَدَ وَضَعَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ قَبْلَ يَدَيْهِ وَإِذَا نَهَضَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ قَبْلَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ ‏.‏

Translation

Al-Husayn ibn ‘Isa al-Qumasi al-Bastami reported to us; he said: Yazid—namely, Ibn Harun—narrated to us; Sharik informed us, from ‘Asim ibn Kulayb, from his father, from Wa’il ibn Hujr, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), when he prostrated, place his knees before his hands; and when he rose, he raised his hands before his knees.

Translation notes
  • The report's sequence is preserved as stated: knees before hands on prostrating, then hands before knees when rising.
