738. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar رضي الله عنهم: I saw Allāh's Messenger ﷺ opening Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayer) with the Takbīr and raising his hands to the level of his shoulders at the time of saying the Takbīr, and on saying the Takbīr for bowing he did the same; and when he said 'Sami' Allāhu liman ḥamida', he did the same and then said, Rabbanā wa lakal-ḥamd. But he did not do the same on prostrating and on raising up the head from it.
738 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو اليَمَانِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: " رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ افْتَتَحَ التَّكْبِيرَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ، فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حِينَ يُكَبِّرُ حَتَّى يَجْعَلَهُمَا حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ، وَإِذَا كَبَّرَ لِلرُّكُوعِ فَعَلَ مِثْلَهُ، وَإِذَا قَالَ: سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، فَعَلَ مِثْلَهُ، وَقَالَ: رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الحَمْدُ، وَلاَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ حِينَ يَسْجُدُ، وَلاَ حِينَ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ "
