English translation
744. It was reported from 'Ali bin Abi Tālib that when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood up to pray the obligatory prayers, he would say the Takbīr and raise his hands to the level of his shoulders. And he would do the same when he finished the recitation and intended to go into Rukū'. And he would do the same when he raised himself up from Rukū'. And he would not raise his hands in any of his prayer while he was sitting. And when he stood up after the two prostrations (after the second Rak'ah), he would also raise his hands and say the Takbīr. (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: And it is also reported in the Hadīth of Abū Humāid As-Sā'idī, when he described the prayer of the Prophet ﷺ that when he (ﷺ) stood up after two Rak'ahs, he would say the Takbīr, and raise his hands until they reached the level of his shoulders — just as he had done at the Takbīr at the beginning of the prayer.
