حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ ح و حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قُهْزَاذَ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ کِلَاهُمَا عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ کَمَا قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِذَا قَامَ لِلصَّلَاةِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّی تَکُونَا حَذْوَ مَنْکِبَيْهِ ثُمَّ کَبَّرَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 863
Ibn Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), when he stood up for prayer, used to raise his hands apposite the shoulders and then recited takbir (Allah-o-Akbar), and when he was about to bow he again did like it and when he raised himself from the ruku' (bowing posture) he again did like it, but he did not do it at the time of raising his head from prostration.
