أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْثَرٌ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ طَرَفَةَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ رَافِعُو أَيْدِينَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ مَا بَالُهُمْ رَافِعِينَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ کَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ الْخَيْلِ الشُّمُسِ اسْکُنُوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1189
It was narrated that Jabir bin Samurah said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم came out to us and we were raising our hands during the aah. He said: ‘Why are you raising your hands while praying like the tails of wild horses? Stay still when you are praying.”(Sahih).
