حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بِشْرِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ ، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالا : نا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أنا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ، كَانَ يَقُولُ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلاةِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يَكُونَا حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ ، وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ فَعَلَ مثل ذَلِكَ ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ فَعَلَ مثل ذَلِكَ ، وَلا يَفْعَلُهُ حِينَ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand for prayer, he would raise both his hands until they were level with his shoulders, then he would say the takbeer. Then, when he was about to go into ruku‘, he would do the same, and when he raised his head from ruku‘, he would do the same. However, when he raised his head from sajdah, he would not do so.
