أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ کُلَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّی يُحَاذِيَ مَنْکِبَيْهِ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْکَعَ وَإِذَا جَلَسَ فِي الرَّکْعَتَيْنِ أَضْجَعَ الْيُسْرَی وَنَصَبَ الْيُمْنَی وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَی عَلَی فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَی وَنَصَبَ أُصْبُعَهُ لِلدُّعَائِ وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَی عَلَی فَخِذِهِ الْيُسْرَی قَالَ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُمْ مِنْ قَابِلٍ فَرَأَيْتُهُمْ يَرْفَعُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فِي الْبَرَانِسِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1164
It was narrated that Wa’il bin Hujr said: “I came to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and I saw him raising his hands when he started to pray until they were in level with his shoulders, and when he wanted to bow. When he sat following the first two Rak’ahs, he sat on his left foot and held the right foot upright. He placed his right hand on his right thigh and raised his finger for the supplication, and he placed his left hand on his left thigh.” He said: “Then I came the following year and I saw them raising their hands inside their Baranis.” (Sahih)
