What is your opinion on using the hadith of Wail ibn Hujr as evidence for placing the right hand over the left after rising from bowing?

The Shaykh : It is not permissible to establish a recommended practice (sunnah) based on this. I will give an example to clarify why one should not rely on the generality of a text in a part of it when we know, in one way or another, that the practice was not carried out in that specific part. We say: He (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: And he (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: Suppose a group of people enter the mosque intending to pray the recommended prayer (sunnah) of the time, for example, the pre-Zuhr sunnah, and each one of them moves to a corner of the mosque intending to pray alone. One of them calls out to them, saying: “O people, instead of praying individually, let us pray in congregation,” and he cites the two aforementioned hadiths. Naturally, this argument misleads anyone who does not pay attention to the previous rule, making it seem like clear evidence However, if among these individuals there is someone with prior knowledge that such a congregation was not established during the time of the Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him), he will not respond to this person’s argument based on these two authentic hadiths. He will say to him: “You are using a hadith as evidence for a specific detail, which is gathering people for the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib), and the practice of the Salaf was not to do that. Therefore, your argument is rejected.” This is what can be said briefly. Consequently, establishing the placement of the hands after raising the head from bowing requires a text stating that so-and-so saw the Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) do that, meaning a specific text. It is not permissible to argue with a hadith like that of Wail ibn Hujr: because this is an argument based on a general wording. We have said that it is not correct to argue with a general wording issued by the Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) as long as it indicates a practice that the Salaf did not carry out. How can we argue with a general text whose wording is from a Companion, whose expression is not assumed to be as precise as the expression of the Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)? This is what we say on this occasion.
