He rested his knees against his knees and placed his hands on his thighs, and said: 'O Muhammad, tell me about Islam.'
رُكْبَتَيْهِ his knees
This is the dual, Arabic's 'exactly two' form, here for the pair of knees, with an attached -hi (his) marking the owner. The dual folds 'two knees' into one word, and the -hi points to the stranger.

He rested his knees against his knees and placed his hands on his thighs, and said: 'O Muhammad, tell me about Islam.'
رُكْبَتَيْهِ his knees
Again the dual 'two knees' with an attached -hi (his), but here the -hi points to the Prophet, not the stranger. Tracking which 'his' is meant is part of reading the sentence: stranger's knees against the Prophet's.
