حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا اسْتَفْتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّی يُحَاذِيَ مَنْکِبَيْهِ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْکَعَ وَبَعْدَمَا يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ الرُّکُوعِ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَأَکْثَرُ مَا کَانَ يَقُولُ وَبَعْدَ مَا يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ الرُّکُوعِ وَلَا يَرْفَعُ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 721
Salim reported on the authority of his father (Ibn Umar): I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that when he began prayer, he used to raise his hands opposite his shoulders, and he did so when he bowed, and raised his head after bowing. Sufyan (a narrator) once said: “When he raised his head: ; and after he used to say: “When he raised his head after bowing. He would not raise (his hands) between the two prostrations. "
