English translation

722. (There is another chain) from Sālim, from ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar who said: “When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood up to pray, he would raise his hands until they would be to the level of his shoulders, then he would say the Takbīr and his hands would be like that. Then he would go into Rukū'. Then, when he wanted to raise his back, he would raise them (his hands) until they would be to the level of his shoulders, and he would then say: 'Sami' Allāhu liman ḥamidah (Allāh has heard the one who praises Him).' And he would not raise his hands for the prostration, but he would raise them for every Takbīr that he would say before going into Rukū', until the prayer finished." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

722 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّبَيْدِيُّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى تَكُونَ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ وَهُمَا كَذَلِكَ فَيَرْكَعُ، ثُمَّ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ صُلْبَهُ رَفَعَهُمَا حَتَّى تَكُونَ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ وَلَا يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فِي السُّجُودِ وَيَرْفَعُهُمَا فِي كُلِّ تَكْبِيرَةٍ يُكَبِّرُهَا قَبْلَ الرُّكُوعِ حَتَّى تَنْقَضِيَ صَلَاتُهُ "
