حَدَّثَنَا
وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا
فِطْرٌ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ حِينَ افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى حَاذَتْ إِبْهَامُهُ شَحْمَةَ أُذُنَيْهِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Wa'il (may Allah be pleased with him) that I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raising his hands with the takbeer, until his thumbs reached the level of his earlobes.
