If we are performing a prayer that has 2 rak’aat (units of prayer), such as fajr (the dawn prayer), then we are approaching the end of the prayer, the end of our brief meeting with Allah. After the second prostration in the second rak’ah, the Prophet ﷺ would sit, place his right palm on his right thigh (in one narration: his knee), and then place his left palm on his left thigh (in one narration: his knee, spreading it upon it). (Muslim).
