Keeping Arms Away During Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to keep his arms away from his body while praying so that the whiteness of his armpits was visible.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Malik bin Buhaina: Whenever the Prophet used to offer prayer he used to keep arms away (from the body) so that the whiteness of his armpits was visible.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ، عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ هُرْمُزَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ابْنِ بُحَيْنَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى فَرَّجَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ بَيَاضُ إِبْطَيْهِ‏.‏ وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ نَحْوَهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us how to pray in a way that is pleasing to Allah. One of the ways he did this was by keeping his arms away from his body during prayer so that the whiteness of his armpits could be seen. This teaches us that we should strive for humility and modesty when we are praying and not just focus on physical appearance. We should also remember to keep our arms away from our bodies when we are praying as this is an important part of prayer etiquette according to Islamic teachings.

The Prophet ﷺ also taught us about proper posture during prayer which includes keeping our backs straight and not slouching or leaning too much on one side or another. This helps us maintain focus on what we are saying in our prayers and keeps us mindful of Allah's presence throughout the entire prayer session. It also helps ensure that all parts of our body are properly aligned with each other which is important for proper worship according to Islamic teachings.

Finally, it is important for Muslims to remember that humility and modesty should be at the forefront when they are engaging in any form of worship including prayer as these qualities will help them stay focused on their relationship with Allah instead of getting distracted by worldly matters or physical appearances.
