English translation

[896] 54 - (401) It was narrated that 'Alqamah bin Wâ'il, and a freed slave of theirs, narrated from his father, Wâ'il bin Hujr, that he saw the Prophet ﷺ raise his hands when he started the prayer, and say the Takbîr - Hamâm described it as being level with his ears - then he wrapped himself in his garment, and placed his right hand over his left. When he wanted to bow, he brought his hands out from his garment and raised them, then he said the Takbîr and bowed. When he said, "Sami'a Allâhu liman hamidah (Allâh hears those who praise Him)," he raised his hands, and when he prostrated, he prostrated between his hands."

Arabic text

54 - (401) حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جُحَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، وَمَوْلًى لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمَا حَدَّثَاهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ: أَنَّهُ " رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حِينَ دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ كَبَّرَ، - وَصَفَ هَمَّامٌ حِيَالَ أُذُنَيْهِ - ثُمَّ الْتَحَفَ بِثَوْبِهِ، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى، فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ أَخْرَجَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ الثَّوْبِ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَهُمَا، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَرَكَعَ، فَلَمَّا قَالَ: سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فَلَمَّا، سَجَدَ سَجَدَ بَيْنَ كَفَّيْهِ "
