Al-Muntaqa Ibn al-Jarud 177 — Description of the Prophet’s prayer
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُقْرِئِ، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، وَيُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالُوا: ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ وَبَعْدَمَا يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَلَا يَرْفَعُ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ»
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that he saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). When he began the prayer, he would raise both hands up to the shoulders, and similarly when he bowed (for ruku‘) and when he raised his head from ruku‘ (he would perform raf‘ al-yadayn), and he would not perform raf‘ al-yadayn between the two prostrations.
