Narrative:
I was flying an ILS (instrument landing system) approach to runway xxr during VMC (visual meteorological conditions) conditions. At 1;000 and 500 ft. AGL; the aircraft was stable and on glide slope with target landing speed. At approximately 400 ft. AGL I noticed a yaw to the left along with a master caution light. I corrected the yaw condition and asked the captain to look at the caution. The aircraft remained stable and I landed without incident. Upon landing roll out the left engine was observed to be at 0 RPM.the captain informed me that he was guarding the throttles and adjusted his position in his seat for better visual lookout. While adjusting his position his hand must have brushed against the left engine start lever and once out of the stop it fell approximately 1' and began to shut down the engine.specifically provide guidance for hand placement for throttle guarding during an approach for the pilot monitoring.
