Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that he saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). When he began the prayer, he would raise both hands up to the shoulders, and similarly when he bowed (for ruku‘) and when he raised his head from ruku‘ (he would perform raf‘ al-yadayn), and he would not perform raf‘ al-yadayn between the two prostrations.
