[Machine] I saw the Prophet ﷺ raising his hands when he started the prayer, and when he wanted to bow, and when he raised his head from bowing. Sufyan said: "When I came to Kufa, I heard him saying that he raises his hands when he starts the prayer, and then he does not repeat (raising them) again, so I thought that they have taught him this (way) and (that it is) correct."
رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ الْكُوفَةَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ ثُمَّ لَا يَعُودُ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُمْ لَقَّنُوهُ وَكَذَلِكَ
