حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيکٌ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ کُلَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حِيَالَ أُذُنَيْهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُمْ فَرَأَيْتُهُمْ يَرْفَعُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ إِلَی صُدُورِهِمْ فِي افْتِتَاحِ الصَّلَاةِ وَعَلَيْهِمْ بَرَانِسُ وَأَکْسِيَةٌ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 728
Narrated Wail ibn Hujr: I witnessed the Prophet ﷺ raise his hands in front of his ears when he began to pray. I then came back and saw them (the people) raising their hands up to their chest when they began to pray. They wore long caps and blankets.
