862. It was narrated that Muhammad bin 'Amr bin 'Atá' said, concerning Abu Humaid As-Sá'dí: "I heard him when he was among ten of the Companions of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, one of whom was Abu Qatâdah bin Rib'i, saying: 'I am the most knowledgeable of you about the prayer of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. When he stood up for prayer, he stood up straight and raised his hands until they were parallel to his shoulders, then he said: Allâhu Akbar. When he wanted to bow in Ruku', he raised his hands until they were parallel to his shoulders. When he said Sami' Allâhu liman hamidah (Allâh hears those who praise Him), he raised his hands and stood up straight. When he stood up after two Rak'ah, he said Allâhu Akbar and raised his hands until they were parallel to his shoulders, as he did when he started the prayer.'" (Sahih)

Commentary
In addition to other occasions, the Hadith also proves the practice of raising the hands while rising up after Tashah-hud, and as many as ten Companions ﷺ bear testimony to it, with no dissension.
