حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّاسُ يُؤْمَرُونَ أَنْ يَضَعَ الرَّجُلُ الْيَدَ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى ذِرَاعِهِ الْيُسْرَى فِي الصَّلاَةِ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو حَازِمٍ لاَ أَعْلَمُهُ إِلاَّ يَنْمِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏ قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ يُنْمَى ذَلِكَ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ يَنْمِي‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Sahl bin Sa'd states that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) instructed people to place their right hand on top of their left forearm when they are in prayer. This is a sign of humility and respect for Allah, as it shows that we are submitting ourselves to Him. It also serves as a reminder for us to focus our attention on the prayer and not be distracted by anything else. Additionally, this gesture can help us stay focused and concentrate better during our prayers. By placing our hands in this position, we can ensure that we are praying with sincerity and devotion. Furthermore, it is important for children to learn about this practice so they can understand why it is important and how it should be done correctly when they pray.
