حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمِّي ، ثنا ابْنُ أَخِي الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمٌ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلاةِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتَا حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ كَبَّرَ ، ثُمَّ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ رَفَعَهُمَا حَتَّى يَكُونَا حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَكَبَّرَ ، وَهُمَا كَذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ صُلْبَهُ رَفَعَهُمَا حَتَّى تَكُونَا حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ " ، ثُمَّ يَسْجُدُ فَلا يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ السُّجُودِ وَيَرْفَعُهُمَا فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ وَتَكْبِيرَةٍ يُكَبِّرُهَا قَبْلَ الرُّكُوعِ حَتَّى تَنْقَضِيَ صَلاتُهُ .
Salim (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand for prayer, he would raise both hands up to the shoulders and say the takbeer. When he was about to go into ruku, he would raise his hands up to the shoulders and say the takbeer, then go into ruku. When he would raise his head from ruku, he would raise both hands up to the shoulders, then recite “Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah,” then go into prostration. Between the prostrations, he would not raise his hands. In every rak’ah, he would raise his hands while saying the takbeer, until the prayer was completed.
