It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to bow with his hands on his knees and his upper arms held away from his sides".
The act of bowing down during prayer is a sign of humility before Allah and it is also a way for us to show our gratitude for all that He has given us. By following the example set by the Prophet Muhammad, we can ensure that our prayers are done properly and with sincerity so that they are accepted by Allah Almighty. Furthermore, this hadith reminds us that even though we may have different ways of expressing ourselves when praying or worshipping God, ultimately what matters most is having faith in Him and striving to do good deeds out of love for Him alone.
