[Machine] People have abandoned three practices that the Messenger of Allah used to do. When the Messenger of Allah stood up for prayer, he would raise his hands up to the level of his shoulders, then he would remain still before reciting the Quran for a moment, beseeching Allah for His blessings. He would also say "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is Great) every time he lowered or raised his hands.
