[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to raise his hands when he made the takbeer until we could see his thumbs close to his ears.  

أحمد:١٨٧٠٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا كَبَّرَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى نَرَى إِبْهَامَيْهِ قَرِيبًا مِنْ أُذُنَيْهِ
