ahmad:18871 – ʿAbdullāh b. al-Walīd > Sufyān > ʿĀṣim b. Kulayb > Abīhiʿan Wāʾil b. Ḥujr

[Machine] "I saw the Prophet ﷺ when he raised his hands up to his ears upon saying the takbeer, then he lowered them during the rukoo (bowing position). Then, when he said 'Sami Allahu liman hamidah' (Allah listens to those who praise Him), he raised his hands again. I also saw him holding his right hand over his left in prayer. When he sat down, he shaved his middle and thumb fingers, pointed with his index finger, and placed his right hand on his right thigh and his left hand on his left thigh."  

أحمد:١٨٨٧١ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنِي سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِعَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ قَالَ

رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ حِينَ كَبَّرَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حِذَاءَ أُذُنَيْهِ ثُمَّ حِينَ رَكَعَ ثُمَّ حِينَ قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَرَأَيْتُهُ مُمْسِكًا يَمِينَهُ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا جَلَسَ حَلَّقَ بِالْوُسْطَى وَالْإِبْهَامِ وَأَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُسْرَى

ahmad:18858 – ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Sufyān > ʿĀṣim b. Kulayb from his father > Wāʾil b. Ḥujr

[Machine] I saw the Prophet ﷺ raise his hands whenever he said the takbeer, meaning when he started the prayer. He also raised his hands when he made the takbeer and raised his hands when he bowed. He raised his hands when he said "Allahu Akbar" after prostration and placed his hands next to his ears. Then, he sat down and placed his left foot under him. He placed his left hand on his left knee and his right arm on his right thigh. Then, he pointed with his index finger and placed his thumb on his middle finger, and closed the rest of his fingers. After that, he prostrated and his hands were positioned next to his ears.
