Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) began the prayer, he would raise both hands up to the shoulders. When he said the takbeer to go into bowing (ruku‘), and when he raised his head from bowing, he would raise them in the same way, and he would say:“Allah has heard the one who praised Him. Our Lord, to You belongs all praise.”The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) would not do this (i.e., raise his hands) during the prostrations (i.e., between the two prostrations).
