ahmad:18702 – ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Sufyān > Yazīd b. Abī Ziyād > ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī Laylā > al-Barāʾ b. ʿĀzib

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ, when he said the takbir, would raise his hands until we could see his thumbs close to his ears.

أحمد:١٨٧٠٢ – حَدَّثَنَا 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.
