سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 733

Abbas or Ayyash bin Sahl as-Saeedi said that he was present in a meeting which was attended by his father who was one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ, Abu Hurairah, Abu Humaid al-Saeedi and Abu Usaid. He narrated the same tradition with a slight addition or deletion. He said: He then raised his head after bowing and uttered: ”Allah listens to him who praises Him, to Thee, our Lord, be the praise, ” and raised his hands. He then uttered: “Allah is most great”; then he prostrated himself and rested on his palms, knees, and the end of his toes while prostrating: then he uttered the Takbir (Allah is most great), and sat down on his hips and raised his other foot; then he uttered the takbir and prostrated himself; then he uttered takbir and stood up, but did not sit on his hips. He (the narrator) then narrated the rest of the tradition. He further said: Then he sat down at the end of two rak’ahs; when he was about to stand after two rak’ahs, he uttered the takbir; then he offered the last two rak’ahs of the prayer. The narrator did not mention about his sitting on the hips spreading out his feet.
