Musnad of al-Bara bin Azib
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1701 — when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began
حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا أُذُنَيْهِ ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، فَقَالَ : قَدْ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ يَذْكُرُ ذَلِكَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that "when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began the prayer, he would raise both his hands until they were level with both his (peace and blessings be upon him) ears." (The narrator of the hadith) Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I mentioned this to Adi bin Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him), and he said: I (too) have heard Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) mention it in the same way.
