أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَذْوَ مَنْکِبَيْهِ 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
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1064
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that when the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم started to pray, he raised his hands until they were in level with his shoulders, and when he said the Takbir before bowing, and when he raised his head from bowing he raised (his hands) likewise, and said: “Sami’ Allahu liman Hamidah Rabbana wa lakal hamd (Allah hears the one who praises Him; Our Lord, and to You be the praise),” and he did not do that when prostrating. (Sahih)
