أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَکِ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ الْعَنْبَرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ وَائِلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ وَإِذَا رَکَعَ وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ هَکَذَا وَأَشَارَ قَيْسٌ إِلَی نَحْوِ الْأُذُنَيْنِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1060
‘Alqamah bin Wa’il said: “My father told me: ‘I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and I saw him raise his hands when he started to pray, and when he bowed, and when he said: “Sami’ Allahu liman Hamidah (Allah hears the one who praises Him)” like this.” And (one of the narrators) Qais pointed toward his ears. (Sahih)
