Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 2459 — Those who raised their hands when

Muhammad bin Amr bin Ata said: I saw Sayyiduna Abu Humayd al-Sa'idi (may Allah be pleased with him) with ten of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: "Shall I not describe to you the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" They said: "Certainly, describe it." He said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): when he said the opening takbir (takbir al-tahrimah) to begin the prayer, he raised his hands; when he went into bowing, he raised his hands; when he raised his head from bowing, he raised his hands; then he stood for so long that every bone settled in its place; then he went down into prostration, saying the takbir."
