[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to raise his hands parallel to his shoulders when he began the prayer. And when he wanted to make the bowing (rak'ah) and when he raised his head from the bowing (rukoo'), he did not do so in any part of his prostration. And when he stood up from the two prostrations (sujood), he did the same. And this is also mentioned in one of the narrations from Wail ibn Hujr.

My father said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to raise both his hands up to the level of his shoulders when opening the prayer; and on saying the Takbir for bowing. And on raising his head from bowing he used to do the same and then say "Samiʿa l-lahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa laka l-hamd." And he did not do that (i.e. raising his hands) in prostrations.

Ibn Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he stood up for prayer, used to raise his hands apposite the shoulders and then recited takbir (Allah-o-Akbar), and when he was about to bow he again did like it and when he raised himself from the ruku' (bowing posture) he again did like it, but he did not do it at the time of raising his head from prostration.

"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: كانَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ الْمَكْتُوبةِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ، وَيَصْنَعُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ إِذَا قَضَى قِرَاءَتَهُ وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ، وَيَصْنَعُهُ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ، وَلاَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فِى شَئٍ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ، وَإذَا قَامَ مِنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ كَذَلِكَ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ".
