Salim (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand for prayer, he would raise both hands up to the shoulders and say the takbeer. When he was about to go into ruku, he would raise his hands up to the shoulders and say the takbeer, then go into ruku. When he would raise his head from ruku, he would raise both hands up to the shoulders, then recite“Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah,”then go into prostration. Between the prostrations, he would not raise his hands. In every rak’ah, he would raise his hands while saying the takbeer, until the prayer was completed.
