723. It was reported from 'Abdul-Wārīth bin Sa'eed (who said): "Muḥammad bin Juḥādah narrated to us (he said): "Abdul-Jabbār bin Wā'il bin Hujr narrated to us, he said: "I was a small child, and did not remember the prayer of my father (before he died). So Wā'il bin 'Alqamah narrated to me from my father, Wā'il bin Hujr, that he said: 'I prayed with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and he would raise his hands when he said (the opening) Takbīr. Then he would cover (his hands) and place them inside (his garments) by grasping his left (hand) with his right (hand), and inserting them into his garment. When he wanted to go into Rukū', he would take his hands out and raise them, and when he wanted to stand up from the Rukū', he would raise his hands. Then he would prostrate and place his face between his palms (on the ground), and when he would raise his head from the prostration, he would also raise his hands. (He would do this) until he finished the prayer." (Shadh) Muḥammad said: "So I mentioned that to Al-Ḥasan bin Abī Al-Ḥasan[1] and he said: 'This is the prayer of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, whoever does it, does it (the Sunnah), and whoever leaves it, leaves it (the Sunnah).'" Abū Dāwud said: This Ḥadīth was reported by Hammām from Ibn Juḥādah, and he did not mention raising (the hands) in the case of raising up from the prostration.
