Salam aleikum Khali

The title of the thread is: Hanbali site says the Imaams Ahmad, Shafi and Malik agreed on folding hands on chest

And in your initial post it says:
Second opinion: Above the navel or on the chest. This was the opinion held by Imām Ahmad bin Hanbal ﴾ رحمه لله ﴿ and many of the حنابلة as well as the معتمد opinion of the مذهب of Imām Shafi’ī and the معتمد opinion of the مذهب of Imām Mālik. This is based upon the حديث that is :صحيح Wā'il ibn Hujr said: ﴾ رسول لله ﴿صلى الله عليه وسلم used to put his right hand upon his left and place them upon his chest.” [27] The quote in your first post is not easy to understand. It says that the second opinion is "above the navel or on the chest" and then later it says that this is the opinion of Ahmad and the mu'tamad of the shafi'i madhab. I tell you that the mu'tamad is above the navel and under the chest (not on the chest). This suggests that the title of the thread is problematic, to say the least.

And as i wrote earlier i dont think that al-Shafi'i said that the hands should be placed on the chest.
