Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he stood up to pray, he raised both his hands up to his ears while saying the takbir. After that, he did not raise his hands again (in the prayer). The narrator, Ali bin Asim, states: When I came to Kufa, I was informed that a narrator named Yazid was alive. I went to him and he narrated this hadith to me. He said: Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila narrated this statement of Sayyiduna Bara’, who said:“I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he stood up for prayer, he raised both his hands up to his ears while saying the takbir.”I said to him: Ibn Abi Laila narrated this to me and also included these words:“The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not raise his hands again after that.”So he replied:“I do not remember these words.”I repeated my statement to him, and he said the same:“I do not remember.”
