حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ حَذْوَ مَنْکِبَيْهِ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ وَإِذَا کَبَّرَ لِلرُّکُوعِ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ الرُّکُوعِ رَفَعَهُمَا کَذَلِکَ أَيْضًا وَقَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا وَلَکَ الْحَمْدُ وَکَانَ لَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِکَ فِي السُّجُودِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 735
Narrated Salim bin `Abdullah: My father said, "Allah's Apostle used to raise both his hands up to the level of his shoulders when opening the prayer; and on saying the Takbir for bowing. And on raising his head from bowing he used to do the same and then say "Sami`a l-lahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa laka l-hamd." And he did not do that (i.e. raising his hands) in prostrations.
