Nafi said on the authority of Ibn Umar that when he began prayer, he uttered the takbir ( Allah is most great) and raised his hands; and when he bowed ( he raised his hands); and when he said: “Allah listens to him who praises Him, ” (he raised his hands); and when he stood up at the end of two rak’ahs, he raised his hands. He (Ibn Umar) traced that back to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abu Dawud said: What is correct is that the tradition reported by Ibn Umar does not go back to the Prophet (may peace beupon him). Abu Dawud said: The narrator Baqiyyah reported the first part of this tradition from Ubaid Allah and traced it back to the Prophet ﷺ; and the narrator al-Thaqafi reported it from Ubaid Allah as a statement of Ibn Umar himself (not from the Porphet). In this version he said: When he stood at the end of two rak’ahs he raised them up to his breasts. And this is the correct version. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted as a statement of Ibn Umar (and not of the Prophet) by al-Laith bin Saad, Malik, Ayyub, and Ibn Juraij; and this has been narrated as a statement of the Prophet ﷺ by Hammad bin Salamah alone on the authority of Ayyub. Ayyub and Malik did not mention his raising of hands when he stood after two prostrations, but al-Laith mentioned it in his version. Ibn Juraij said in this version: I asked Nafi: Did Ibn Umar raise (his hands) higher for the first time? He said: No, I said: Point out to me. He then pointed to the breasts or lower than that.

Nafi said: When Abdullah bin Umar began his prayer, he raised his hands opposite to his shoulders; and when he raised his head after bowing, he raised them lower than that. Abu Dawud said: So as far as I know, no one narrated the words “he raised them lower that that” except Malik.

I testify that there is not god but Allah. “Ibn Umar said: I added to it: He is alone, no one is His associate, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger.

He gave Umar bin al-Khattab one of these suits. Umar said: Messenger of Allah, you are giving it to me for use while you had told me such-and-such about the suit of ‘Utarid (I. e. sold by ‘Utarid).
