حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ مَالِکِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ إِذَا کَبَّرَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّی يَجْعَلَهُمَا قَرِيبًا مِنْ أُذُنَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَکَعَ صَنَعَ مِثْلَ ذَلِکَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ الرُّکُوعِ صَنَعَ مِثْلَ ذَلِکَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 859
It was narrated that Malik bin Huwairith said that when the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said Allahu Akbar, he would raise his hands until they were close to his ears; when he bowed in Ruku' he did likewise, and when he raised his head from Ruku' he did likewise. (Sahih)
