Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلاَةَ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ وَإِذَا جَلَسَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ أَضْجَعَ الْيُسْرَى وَنَصَبَ الْيُمْنَى وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَنَصَبَ أُصْبُعَهُ لِلدُّعَاءِ وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُسْرَى ‏.‏ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُمْ مِنْ قَابِلٍ فَرَأَيْتُهُمْ يَرْفَعُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فِي الْبَرَانِسِ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Yazid al-Muqri’ reported to us, saying: Sufyan reported to us, saying: ‘Asim ibn Kulayb narrated to us, from his father, from Wa’il ibn Hujr, who said: “I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and saw him raise his hands when beginning the prayer until they were level with his shoulders, and when he intended to bow. When he sat after the first two rak‘ahs, he tucked his left foot beneath him and held his right foot upright. He placed his right hand on his right thigh, raised his finger for supplication, and placed his left hand on his left thigh.” He said: “Then I came to them the following year and saw them raising their hands in their cloaks.”

Translation notes
  • The final phrase names baranis (hooded cloaks); rendered descriptively as “cloaks.”
