1160. It was narrated that Wā'il bin Hujr said: “I came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and I saw him raising his hands when he started to pray until they were in level with his shoulders, and when he wanted to bow. When he sat following the first two Rak'ahs, he sat on his left foot and held the right foot upright. He placed his right hand on his right thigh and raised his finger for the supplication, and he placed his left hand on his left thigh.” He said: “Then I came the following year and I saw them raising their hands inside their Barānis.”[1] (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
Wā'il bin Huṛ had arrived for the first time after the Battle of Tabūk in the year 9H, and had embraced Islam. He then came again (according to this narration) the following year - the year 10H. It was the month of Ramadan or Shawwal. This adds up to six or seven months until the death of the Prophet ﷺ. In other words, the Prophet ﷺ and the Companions used to practice Raf Al-Yadayn all the way until the period of time before the Prophet's ﷺ death. There is nothing at all to support that it was then abrogated.
