The correct method for placing the hands after rising from rukūʿ (bowing) is to place the right hand on the left forearm, and the hands should not be left dangling. This is based on the generality of the of Sahl ibn Saʿd in al-Bukhārī: "The people were commanded that a man should place his right hand on his left forearm during prayer." This applies to standing both before and after rukūʿ.
