1103. It was narrated that Wā'il bin Ḥujr said: "I came to Al-Madīnah and said: 'I am going to watch the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ pray. He said the Takbīr and raised his hands until I saw his thumbs near his ears. When he wanted to bow, he said the Takbīr and raised his hands. Then he raised his head and said: 'Sami' Allāhu liman ḥamidah (Allāh hears the one who praises Him).' Then he said the Takbīr and prostrated, and his hands were in the same position in relation to his ears as when he started the prayer." (Sahīh)

Commentary
At the time of the commencement of prayer, the lifting of the two hands could be performed parallel to the ears or to the shoulders. In the same manner, in the posture of prostration, the hands could be placed parallel to the ears or to the shoulders as well as according to the Tatbiq, which has already been described concerning the lifting of the two hands - Raf Al-Yadayn.
