And he would also “knead,” meaning that when he rose he leaned on his hands (1).
He recited al-Fātiḥah in each of the two rakʿahs, and he instructed the man who had prayed poorly to do the same. At times, during the Ẓuhr prayer, he would add a few verses to them, as was explained earlier under the heading “Recitation in Ṣalāt al-Ẓuhr.”
(1) Reported by al-Harbi in Gharib al-Hadith; a narration conveying the same meaning is found in al-Bukhari and Abu Dawud. The report, “He forbade a man to support himself on his hand when rising in the prayer,” is munkar (rejected) and therefore not authentic, as I have shown in al-Daifah, no. 967; see also pp. 821 and 824.
و " كان يعجن: يعتمد على يديه إذا قام " (١) ﴾ .
و" كان يقرأ في كل من الركعتين: ﴿الفَاتِحَة﴾ ، وأمر بذلك (المسيء
صلاته) ، وكان ربما أضاف إليهما في صلاة الظهر بضع آيات - كما سبق
بيانه في (القراءة في صلاة الظهر) -.
(١) ﴿ [رواه] الحربي في " غريب الحديث ". ومعناه عند البخاري وأبي داود،
وأما حديث:
" نهى أن يعتمد الرجل على يده إذا نهض في الصلاة ".
فهو منكر لا يصح؛ كما بينته في " الضعيفة " (٩٦٧) . [وانظر (ص ٨٢١
و٨٢٤) ] ﴾ .
