The narrations of Imam Malik bin Anas, Ibn Jurayj, Sufyan bin Uyaynah, Shu'ayb bin Abi Hamzah, Uqayl bin Khalid, Yunus bin Yazid and other hadith scholars, from al-Zuhri, from Salim, from his father (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), agree on raising the hands (in the prayer) to the level of the shoulders.
Likewise it is transmitted in the narration of Ayyub, from Nafi', from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
And it is exactly the same in the narration of Sayyiduna Abu Humayd al-Sa'idi (may Allah be pleased with him), which he related in the presence of ten of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (may Allah be pleased with them all).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered into the prayer, he would raise his hands up to his shoulders, and when he bowed or raised his head from bowing, he would also do 'raf' al-yadayn' (raising the hands).

Muhammad bin Amr bin Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard Abu Humayd al-Sa'idi (may Allah be pleased with him) saying to ten of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), among whom was Abu Qatadah al-Harith bin Rib'i (may Allah be pleased with him): When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood for the prayer, he would raise his hands up to his shoulders, then say the takbir. Then he mentioned the complete hadith.
In it there is also that he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hands when going into bowing, and when raising his head from bowing, and when he stood up after the two rak'ahs, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would bring his hands up to the level of his shoulders.
