Where does the worshiper place his hands after bowing?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His second question says: Where do the worshipers place their hands after bowing?

Answer:
The Sunnah is to place the hands on the chest, before bowing and after it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the authentic hadith, in what Muslim narrated in his Sahih from Wail, he said:
he placed his right hand over his left handكان النبي ﷺ يضع يده اليمنى على كفه اليُسرى
Sunan an-Nasa'i 889Sahih (Darussalam)
.
And Sahl ibn Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The man was ordered to place his right hand over his left forearm in the prayer."
And in Musnad Ahmad and others, from one of the Companions: "That he saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) place his hands on his chest in the prayer."
And Wail said: "I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) place his hands on his chest in the prayer."
So this is the Sunnah; that he places them on his chest while he is standing in the prayer, before bowing and after it, there is no difference in that; because Wail said: "I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he was standing in the prayer, place his right hand on his left hand on his chest in the prayer."
