I was a small boy and I did not understand the prayer of my father. So Wa’Il b. ‘Alqamah reported Wa’il b. Hujr as saying: I offered prayer along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He used to raise his hands when he pronounced the takbir (Allah is most great), then pulled his garment around him, then placed his right hand on his left, and entered his hands in his garment. When he was about to bow he took his hands out of his garment, and then raised them. And when he raised his head after bowing, he raised his hands. He then prostrated himself and placed his face (forehead on the ground) between his hands. And when he raised his head after prostration, he also raised his hands until he finished his prayer. Muhammad (a narrator) said: I mentioned it to al-Hasan b. Abu al-Hasan who said: This is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered prayer; some did it and others abandoned it. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Hammam from ibn Juhadah, but he did not mention the raising of hands after he raised his head at the end of the prostration.  

كُنْتُ غُلاَمًا لاَ أَعْقِلُ صَلاَةَ أَبِي قَالَ فَحَدَّثَنِي وَائِلُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكَانَ إِذَا كَبَّرَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ الْتَحَفَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ شِمَالَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ وَأَدْخَلَ يَدَيْهِ فِي ثَوْبِهِ قَالَ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ أَخْرَجَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَهُمَا وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَوَضَعَ وَجْهَهُ بَيْنَ كَفَّيْهِ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ أَيْضًا رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ فَقَالَ هِيَ صَلاَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَعَلَهُ مَنْ فَعَلَهُ وَتَرَكَهُ مَنْ تَرَكَهُ  

[Machine] I was a young boy who did not understand my father's prayer, so Alqamah bin Wael narrated to me from Abu Wael bin Hujr who said, "I prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and when he said the takbeer, he raised his hands, then he placed them on his waist, and he put his right hand on his left hand. He would place his hands in his garment, and when he wanted to raise his head from the bowing position, he raised his hands, then he prostrated and placed his forehead between his palms. And when he raised his head from prostration, he raised his hands until he finished his prayer."  

كُنْتُ غُلَامًا لَا أَعْقِلُ صَلَاةَ أَبِي فَحَدَّثَنِي عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ وَائِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ قَالَ «صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَانَ إِذَا كَبَّرَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ الْتَحَفَ فَأَخَذَ يَمِينَهُ بِشِمَالِهِ وَأَدْخَلَ يَدَيْهِ فِي ثَوْبَهِ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَوَضَعَ جَبْهَتَهُ بَيْنَ كَفَّيْهِ فَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ»
