Not every hadith is sunnah and not every sunnah was recorded in a hadith. Mufti Abu Layth says there is not a single sahih hadith establishing where the hands are placed in prayer, that sadl is a sunnah of the school of Madinah without a hadith, and that people should not be guilt-tripped over how they hold their hands.</p> <p>Answer from 6 October 2021 · auto-transcribed, may contain errors</p> <p>Kind: general teaching</p> <p>Recording: Sunnah vs Hadith (Case Study: Hands in Salah) | Mufti Abu Layth (at 0:00)</p> <p><b>A more recent answer on hadith/sunnah-versus-hadith exists</b> (18 October 2025): <a href="https://muftiabulayth.org/r/onzjd7xmdhe/s/31/">Does the Muwatta show that the Companions' practice had already changed by Malik's time?</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6Ay73O7Dug&amp;t=0s">Watch on YouTube at 0:00</a> · <a href="https://muftiabulayth.org/r/z6ay73o7dug/s/1/">Open the segment</a></p>
