حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا دَخَلَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ الرُّكُوعِ وَلَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي السُّجُودِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5081
It was narrated from Saalim ibn 'Abdillah that his father said: l saw the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) raise his hands when he began the prayer, when lie wanted to bow and when he raised his head from bowing. And he did not do that when he prostrated.
