Clarification that the hadith of Wa'il ibn Hujr, which is weak due to Shurayk, contradicts the correct addition in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah: (and let him place his hands before his knees)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Here you see how the weak hadith contradicts the authentic hadiths, and it is not just one hadith. Shurayk’s hadith has two aspects; the first aspect relates to the manner of lowering oneself for prostration, and the other aspect relates to the manner of rising from prostration. Shurayk’s hadith, in its first aspect, contradicts two hadiths, one of which Ibn al-Qayyim has mentioned so far, which is: Sunan Abi Dawud 840Sahih (Al-Albani). The other aspect of Wa’il’s hadith contradicts a hadith in "Sahih al-Bukhari"; it is the hadith of Malik ibn al-Huwayris: "That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to rise from an odd number of his prayer by supporting himself on his hands," whereas Wa’il’s hadith says: "He rose supporting himself on his knees and the tops of his feet"; the tops of his toes.
So, Wa’il ibn Hujr’s hadith, in both of its aspects, contradicts authentic hadiths; therefore, Ibn al-Qayyim’s statement that he used to rise from the lowest to the highest is contrary to the hadith of al-Bukhari. Then he said, to confirm and detail Wa’il ibn Hujr’s hadith: "And he used to place his knees first, then his hands, then his forehead, and when he raised his head, he would raise it first, then his hands, then his knees, and this is the opposite of the action of a camel."
Now we return to reversing the reversal to make it clear that the hadith of Malik ibn al-Huwayris is the one that saves us from resembling the camel in its rising, and not as Ibn al-Qayyim and others think.
when one of you prostrates himself he must not kneel in the manner of camel, but should put down his hands before his knees.
