1025. It was narrated that Mālik bin Al-Huwaīrith said: "I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ raise his hands until they reached the highest part of his ears, when he said the Takbīr, when he bowed and when he raised his head from bowing." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
1024 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ قَالَ: «رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا كَبَّرَ، وَإِذَا رَكَعَ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ حَتَّى بَلَغَتَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ»

Mālik bin Huwayrith had come to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ in Madīnah in the month of Rajab, in the year 9H. Another Companion of the Prophet ﷺ who related a narration about Raf Al-Yadayn (raising of the hands during prayer), namely Wā'il bin Hujr, had arrived in the month of Shawwal in the year 10H. This demonstrates that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to practice Raf Al-Yadayn until the last years of life.
