879. It was narrated from 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar that when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ started to pray, he would raise his hands in level with his shoulders, and when he bowed and when he raised his head from bowing, he would raise them likewise and say "Sami' Allâhu liman hamidah, Rabbanâ wa lakal-hamd (Allâh hears those who praise Him, our Lord, to You be praise).” And he did not do that when he prostrated. (Sahîh)
878 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ، وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ رَفَعَهُمَا كَذَلِكَ وَقَالَ: «سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ». وَكَانَ لَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي السُّجُودِ

Numerous narrations mention raising the two hands (Yadayn) to a position in level with the shoulders. Some reports mention raising the hands to a position in level with the ears. (Sahîh Muslim: 391). Both ways are permissible.
