Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to raise both hands after saying the opening takbir in prayer until his thumbs reached the level of his ears, then he would recite: "Glory be to You, O Allah! Praise is exclusively for You, Your name is blessed, Your majesty is exalted and sublime, and there is no deity except You."
