Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ بَكْرِ بْنِ مُضَرَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، أَنَّ الْقَاسِمَ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ - عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ مِنْ سُنَّةِ الصَّلاَةِ أَنْ تَنْصِبَ، الْقَدَمَ الْيُمْنَى وَاسْتِقْبَالُهُ بِأَصَابِعِهَا الْقِبْلَةَ وَالْجُلُوسُ عَلَى الْيُسْرَى ‏.‏

Translation

Al-Rabi‘ ibn Sulayman ibn Dawud reported to us, saying: Ishaq ibn Bakr ibn Mudar reported to us, saying: my father narrated to me, from ‘Amr ibn al-Harith, from Yahya, that al-Qasim narrated to him from ‘Abd Allah—namely, ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Umar—from his father, who said: “Part of the Sunnah of prayer is to keep the right foot upright, with its toes facing the qiblah, and to sit on the left foot.”
