God hears whoever praises Him, then he raises his hands until they are parallel to his shoulders, straight, then he says, “God is great,” then he descends to the ground, keeping his hands away from his sides, then he raises his head, bends his left leg and sits on it, and opens his toes when he prostrates and prostrates, then he says, “God.” Then he raises and bends his left leg and sits on it until each limb returns to its place, then he does the same with the other. Then when he stands up from the two rak’ahs, he says “Allahu Akbar” and raises his hands until they are in line with his shoulders, just as he said “Allahu Akbar” at the beginning of the prayer. Then he does that for the rest of his prayer, even if it is the prostration that includes the salutation. He dropped his left leg and sat cross-legged on his left side. They said, “You have spoken the truth.” This is how he used to pray , may God’s prayers and peace be upon him.
