Exert from Al-Albaani's (rahimahUllah) The Prophet's Prayer:

(88) Then he prostrates, placing his hands upon the ground before
his knees. This is what Allaah's Messenger commanded, and it is
what is established from his practice. He also forbade the people from kneeling down in the manner that the camel kneels, and the
camel places its knees -which are its fore-legs - first.

(90) He should keep his fingers them.

(91) And point them towards the qiblah (direction of Prayer).

(92) And he should place his palms level with his shoulders.

(93) And sometimes he places them level with his ears.

(94) And he must lift his elbows away from the ground. This is
obligatory. He is not allowed to spread them on the ground in the
manner of the dog.

(95) He must place his nose and his forehead firmly upon the
ground, this is a pillar.

(96) He must also place his knees firmly on the ground.

(97) And likewise his toes.

(98) His feet should be placed upright on the ground. All of these
are obligatory.

(99) The tips of his toes should be pointed towards the qiblah
(direction of Prayer).

(100) And his heels should be joined together.

16 There are other sayings that can be said here. Refer to Sifatus-Salaat, (Eng. transl. pp.

47-50).

17 It is not prescribed to place one hand upon the other during this standing, since that is

not reported. If you wish you may see further discussion of this in Sifatus-Salaat (Eng.

transl. pp. 50-51).
