And when prostrates, he prostrated between the two palms.
Comments:-The word used in Arabic in the above Hadith is ‘’yad’’ meaning ''complete Hands'' not “Kuf’’ Meaning ''Fist,(Mutthi)'' Now,how hard u try u can't place ur complete hands below the navel hope u got my point
Upper Sahih Muslim ki Hadith mein hai ke Allah ke Rasool(salla lahu aliwaslam) Apne Sida(right) hand Bayein(Left) hand per rakhte the Jo Arabic mein word Aya hai woh hai ''Yad'' Matlab Purra Haath na ke Mutthi Isliye Aap kitni bhi kosish karlo Aap apna Haath Naaf per nahi rakh sakte....;
g)Eye Should point to the Spot of Prostration.

Narrated by Anas bin MalikThe Prophet said, "What is wrong with those people who look towards the sky during the prayer?" His talk grew stern while delivering this speech and he said, "They should stop (looking towards the sky during the prayer); otherwise their eye-sight would be taken away."

Hadith-27

Hadith-28
Qatada informed in writing that Anas b. Malik had narrated to him: I observed prayer behind the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr and Umar and 'Uthman. They started (loud recitation) with: AI-hamdu lillahi Rabb al-'Alamin [All Praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds] and did not recite Bismillah ir- Rahman-ir-Rahim (loudly) at the beginning of the recitation or at the end of it.
(Sahih Muslim Book #004, Hadith #0788)
''Audhu billahi mina shaitaan nir rajeem"
(I seek refuge in Allah from the rejected Satan)
This should only be said in the first Rakat.
So when you want to recite the Qur'ân, seek refuge with Allâh from Shaitân (Satan), the outcast (the cursed one). [Qur'an 16:98]

"I heard Abu Hurairah say: 'The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: "Whoever offers a prayer in which he does not recite Umm Al-Quran (Al Fatihah), it is deficient, it is deficient, it is deficient, incomplete." I (Abu As-Sa'ib) said: 'O Abu Hurairah, sometimes I am behind the Imam.' He poked me in the arm and said: 'Recite it to yourself, O Persian! For I heard the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) say: "Allah says: "I have divided prayer between Myself and My slave into two halves, and My slave shall have what he has asked for.'" The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: "Recite, for when the slave says: All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of all that exists, Allah says: 'My slave has praised Me.' And when he says: The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, Allah says: 'My slave has extolled Me.' And when he says: The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection), Allah says: 'My slave has glorified Me'-and on one occasion He said: 'My slave has submitted to My power'. And when he says: You (alone) we worship, and You (alone) we ask for help (for each and everything), He says: 'This is between Me and My slave, and My slave shall have what he has asked for.' And when he says: 'Guide us to the straight way, the way of those on whom You have bestowed Your grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray, He says: 'This is for My slave, and My slave shall have what he asked for.'" (Sahih)

A person said to him: If I add nothing to the (recitation) of the Umm al Qur'an (Surat al-Fatiha), would it make the prayer incomplete? He (AbuHuraira) said: If you add to that (if you recite some of verses of the Qur'an along with Surat at-Fatiha) that is better for you. But if you are contented with it (Surat al-Fatiha) only, it is sufficient for you.

Hadith-25
Sahih Muslim Book 004, Hadith Number 0792.------------------------------
Chapter : Argument of those who assert that Bismillah is a part of every Sura except Sura Tauba.
Wa'il b. Hujr reported: He saw the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) raising his hands at the time of beginning the prayer and reciting takbir, and according to Hammam (the narrator), the hands were lifted opposite to ears. He (the Holy Prophet) then wrapped his hands in his cloth and placed his "right hand over his left hand". And when he was about to bow down, he brought out his hands from the cloth, and then lifted them, and then recited takbir and bowed down, and when (he came back to the erect position) he recited: "Allah listened to him who praised Him." And when prostrates, he prostrated between the two palms.
Comments:-The word used in Arabic in the above Hadith is ‘’yad’’ meaning ''complete Hands'' not “Kuf’’ Meaning ''Fist,(Mutthi)'' Now,how hard u try u can't place ur complete hands below the navel hope u got my point
Upper Sahih Muslim ki Hadith mein hai ke Allah ke Rasool(salla lahu aliwaslam) Apne Sida(right) hand Bayein(Left) hand per rakhte the Jo Arabic mein word Aya hai woh hai ''Yad'' Matlab Purra Haath na ke Mutthi Isliye Aap kitni bhi kosish karlo Aap apna Haath Naaf per nahi rakh sakte....;
g)Eye Should point to the Spot of Prostration.
Throughout the Salat the eyes of the worshipper should point to the spot where the forehead rests in Sajdah. Dont look towards the sky
Hadith-26
Narrated by Anas bin MalikThe Prophet said, "What is wrong with those people who look towards the sky during the prayer?" His talk grew stern while delivering this speech and he said, "They should stop (looking towards the sky during the prayer); otherwise their eye-sight would be taken away."
(Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 1, Book 12, Hadith no. 717)
Hadith-27
Jabir b. Samura reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: The people who lift their eyes towards the sky in Prayer should avoid it or they would lose their eyesight.
(Sahih Muslim Book #004, Hadith #0862; Sahih Muslim Book #004, Hadith #0863)
h)Taawudh
Hadith-28
Qatada informed in writing that Anas b. Malik had narrated to him: I observed prayer behind the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr and Umar and 'Uthman. They started (loud recitation) with: AI-hamdu lillahi Rabb al-'Alamin [All Praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds] and did not recite Bismillah ir- Rahman-ir-Rahim (loudly) at the beginning of the recitation or at the end of it.
(Sahih Muslim Book #004, Hadith #0788)
''Audhu billahi mina shaitaan nir rajeem"
(I seek refuge in Allah from the rejected Satan)
This should only be said in the first Rakat.
So when you want to recite the Qur'ân, seek refuge with Allâh from Shaitân (Satan), the outcast (the cursed one). [Qur'an 16:98]
i)Is it Permissible to recite Surah Fatiha behind Imam?

Hadith-31
Abu As-Sa'ib- the freed slave of Hisham bin Zuhrah-said:
"I heard Abu Hurairah say: 'The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: "Whoever offers a prayer in which he does not recite Umm Al-Quran (Al Fatihah), it is deficient, it is deficient, it is deficient, incomplete." I (Abu As-Sa'ib) said: 'O Abu Hurairah, sometimes I am behind the Imam.' He poked me in the arm and said: 'Recite it to yourself, O Persian! For I heard the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) say: "Allah says: "I have divided prayer between Myself and My slave into two halves, and My slave shall have what he has asked for.'" The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: "Recite, for when the slave says: All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of all that exists, Allah says: 'My slave has praised Me.' And when he says: The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, Allah says: 'My slave has extolled Me.' And when he says: The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection), Allah says: 'My slave has glorified Me'-and on one occasion He said: 'My slave has submitted to My power'. And when he says: You (alone) we worship, and You (alone) we ask for help (for each and everything), He says: 'This is between Me and My slave, and My slave shall have what he has asked for.' And when he says: 'Guide us to the straight way, the way of those on whom You have bestowed Your grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray, He says: 'This is for My slave, and My slave shall have what he asked for.'" (Sahih)

Sahih Muslim Book 4, Number 0779:'Ata' narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira who said that one should recite (al-Fatiha) in every (rak'ah of) prayer. What we heard (i. e. recitation) from the Messenger of Allah(may peace be upon him), we made you listen to that. And that which he (recited) inwardly, we (recited) inwardly for you. A person said to him: If I add nothing to the (recitation) of the Umm al Qur'an (Surat al-Fatiha), would it make the prayer incomplete? He (AbuHuraira) said: If you add to that (if you recite some of verses of the Qur'an along with Surat at-Fatiha) that is better for you. But if you are contented with it (Surat al-Fatiha) only, it is sufficient for you.
