Hadith 1531
عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ كَبَّرَ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ، وَيَصْنَعُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ إِذَا قَضَى قِرَاءَتَهُ وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ، وَيَصْنَعُهُ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ، وَلَا يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ وَإِذَا قَامَ مِنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ كَذَلِكَ وَكَبَّرَ
Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that when he (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand for the obligatory prayer, he would say Allahu Akbar and raise his hands up to the level of his shoulders. Then, when he completed his recitation and intended to bow (ruku‘), he would raise his hands in the same manner, and when he raised his head from ruku‘, he would do the same. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would not raise his hands in any part of the prayer while sitting, and when he stood up after two rak‘ahs (for the third rak‘ah), he would raise his hands in the same way and say Allahu Akbar.
Hadith 1532
عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى جَاوَزَ بِهِمَا أُذُنَيْهِ
Sayyiduna Amir bin Abdullah bin Zubair narrates from his father, and he says: I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, when he began the prayer, he raised his hands high until he brought them above his ears.
Hadith 1533
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: ثَلَاثٌ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْمَلُ بِهِنَّ قَدْ تَرَكَهُنَّ النَّاسُ، كَانَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ مَدًّا إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، وَيُكَبِّرُ كُلَّمَا رَكَعَ وَرَفَعَ، وَالسُّكُوتُ قَبْلَ الْقِرَاءَةِ يَدْعُو وَيَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: There are three things that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) always practiced, but people have abandoned them: When he (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the prayer, he would raise his hands spreading them out, and when bowing (ruku‘) and rising from it, he would say Allahu Akbar, and before the recitation, he would remain silent, during which he would supplicate and ask Allah for His bounty.
Hadith 1534
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ حِينَ يُكَبِّرُ حَتَّى يَكُونَا حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ أَوْ قَرِيبًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ، وَإِذَا رَكَعَ رَفَعَهُمَا، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ رَفَعَهُمَا، وَلَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي السُّجُودِ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said the takbeer, he would raise his hands until they were level with his shoulders or close to it, and when he bowed for ruku‘ he would raise his hands, and when he raised his head from ruku‘ he would perform raf‘ al-yadayn. He would not do so in prostrations.
Hadith 1535
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ: إِنَّ رَفْعَكُمْ أَيْدِيَكُمْ بِدْعَةٌ مَا زَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى هَٰذَا يَعْنِي إِلَى الصَّدْرِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: Surely, raising your hands in this manner is an innovation; the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, did not raise his hands above his chest.
Hadith 1536
عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ السُّجُودِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ
Sayyiduna Malik bin Huwairith (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when he intended to bow (ruku‘), and when he raised his head from bowing, and when he raised his head from prostration, he would raise his hands until he made them level with the upper part of his ears.
Hadith 1537
عَنْ مَيْمُونٍ الْمَكِّيِّ أَنَّهُ رَأَى ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَصَلَّى بِهِمْ يُشِيرُ بِكَفَّيْهِ حِينَ يَقُومُ وَحِينَ يَرْكَعُ وَحِينَ يَسْجُدُ وَحِينَ يَنْهَضُ لِلْقِيَامِ فَيَقُومُ فَيُشِيرُ بِيَدَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ صَلَّى صَلَاةً لَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا يُصَلِّيهَا، فَوَصَفَ لَهُ هَٰذِهِ الْإِشَارَةَ، فَقَالَ: إِنْ أَحْبَبْتَ أَنْ تَنْظُرَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاقْتَدِ بِصَلَاةِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ
It is narrated from Maymun Makki that he saw Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) leading the prayer. When he would stand, bow (ruku‘), prostrate (sajda), and stand up for qiyam, he would gesture with his palms. Maymun Makki says: I went to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) and said that the prayer which Ibn Zubair offers, I have not seen anyone else offering such a prayer, and then I mentioned the gestures with the hands. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: If you wish to see the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then follow the prayer of Sayyiduna Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him).
