English translation

721. Sālim reported from his father (Ibn ‘Umar) that he said: “I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ raise his hands to the level of his shoulders when he began the prayer. And he would also do so when he intended to go into Rukū‘, and after he would raise himself up from Rukū‘” — Sufyān (one of the narrators) said one time: “when he would raise his head up” — and most of the time he said: “and after he would raise himself up from Rukū‘”[1] — “and he would not raise his hands between the two prostrations.” (Saḥīḥ)

721 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " إِذَا اسْتَفْتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ، وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ وَبَعْدَمَا يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ - وَقَال سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً: وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَأَكْثَرُ مَا كَانَ يَقُولُ: وَبَعْدَ مَا يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ - وَلَا يَرْفَعُ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ "
