803. Muhammad bin 'Amr bin 'Atā' said: "I heard Abu Humaid As-Sā'idi say: 'When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood up for prayer, he would face the prayer direction, raise his hands, and say: "Allāhu Akbar (Allāh is Most Great)." (Sahih)
803 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الطَّنَافِسِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ يَقُولُ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ، اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ، وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ "

Facing the Qiblah (direction of Ka'bah) during the prayer is mandatory. There is no harm if the face of a person praying on a moving mount, turns to a direction other than that of the Qiblah. Raising the hands (Raf' yadain) while (i) starting the prayer, (ii) bowing (going for Ruku') and (iii) rising from Ruku' is the Sunnah (precept) of the Prophet ﷺ, as will be seen under the coming Ahādith (858 & 859). Both ways of raising the hands, namely (i) up to the ears, or (ii) up to the shoulders, are in order. (ibid.)
