حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَی حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حُذَيْفَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ کَانَ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَکَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ الرُّکُوعِ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِکَ وَيَقُولُ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِکَ وَرَفَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَی أُذُنَيْهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 868
It was narrated from Abu Zubair that Jabir bin 'Abdullah would raise his hands when he began the prayer, and when he bowed, and when he raised (his head) from Ruku' he would do likewise, and he said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H doing that." (One of the narrators) said: "Ibrahim bin Tahman (one of the narrators) raised his hands to his ears," (Hasan)
