Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: When the Mu'adhdhin calls to prayer, Satan runs back vehemently.

Suhail reported that his father sent him to Banu Haritha along with a boy or a man. Someone called him by his name from an enclosure. He (the narrator) said: The person with me looked towards the enclosure, but saw nothing. I made a mention of that to my father. He said: If I knew that you would meet such a situation I would have never sent you (there), but (bear in mind) whenever you hear such a call (from the evil spirits) pronounce the Adhan. for I have heard Abu Hurairah (RA) say that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Whenever Adhan is proclaimed, Satan runs back vehemently.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: The Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: When the call to prayer is made, Satan runs back and breaks wind so as not to hear the call being made, and when the call is finished. he turns round. When Iqama is proclaimed he turns his back, and when it is finished he turns round to distract a man, saying: Remember such and such; remember such and such, referring to something the man did not have in his mind, with the result that he does not know how much he has prayed.

A hadith like it has been narrated by Abu Hurairah (RA) but for these words: " He (the man saying the prayer) does not know how much he has prayed."

Salim narrated it on the authority of his father who reported: I saw the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) raising his hands apposite the shoulders at the time of beginning the prayer and before bowing down and after coming back to the position after bowing. but he did not raise them between two prostrations.

Ibn 'Umar (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , when he stood up for prayer, used to raise his hands apposite the shoulders and then recited takbir (Allah-o-Akbar), and when he was about to bow he again did like it and when he raised himself from the ruku' (bowing posture) he again did like it, but he did not do it at the time of raising his head from prostration.

This hadith has been transmitted with the same chain of transmitters by al. Zuhri as narrated by Ibn Juraij (who) said. When the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) stood up for prayer, he raised hands (to the height) apposite the shoulders and then recited takbir.

Abu Qilaba reported that he saw Malik bin Huwairith raising his hands at the beginning of prayer and raising his hands before kneeling down, and raising his hands after lifting his head from the state of kneeling, and he narrated that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to do like this.

Malik bin Huwairith reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) raised his hands apposite his ears at the time of reciting the takbir (i.e at the time of beginning the prayer) and then again raised his hands apposite the ears at the time of bowing and when he lifted his head after bowing he said: "Allah listened to him who praised Him", and did like it (raised his hands up to the ears).

This hadith has been transmitted by Qatada with the same chain of transmitters that he saw the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) doing like this (i. e. raising his hands) till they were apposite the lobes of cars.
