قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ ، عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا يَقُولُ : إِنَّ رَفْعَكُمْ أَيْدِيَكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ لَبِدْعَةٌ ، وَاللهِ مَا زَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى هَكَذَا : يَعْنِي بِإِصْبَعِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "Indeed, your raising your hands (in this way) during the prayer (supplication) is an innovation. By Allah! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did no more than this," that is, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would point with his blessed finger (at the time of supplication and remembrance).
Ibn Abi Shaybah recorded this hadith in al-Musannaf. Its chain contains the narrator Bishr bin Harb, who is da'if (weak) according to the majority of hadith scholars; moreover, this prohibition is reported concerning raising the hands excessively in supplication or raising the hands during the sermon.

وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ الْأَعْرَابِيَّ يَقُولُ : رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي ، قَالَ : فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ ، وَرَفَعَ كَفَّيْهِ حَتَّى حَاذَتَا أَوْ بَلَغَتَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ كَأَنَّهُمَا مِرْوَحَتَانِ .
It is narrated from a Bedouin (a desert-dwelling Companion) (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) praying. He (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his blessed head from bowing and raised his two hands (palms) so high that they came level with, or reached, the upper parts of his (peace and blessings be upon him) ears; (the two hands) looked like two fans."
Musnad al-Harith (Bughyat al-Bahith): 518. It is da'if (weak) because one narrator is unknown (unnamed); however, the basis of raising the hands when rising from bowing is established by other authentic hadith.
