ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمُصَلِّي إِخْرَاجُ الْيَدَيْنِ مِنْ كُمَّيْهِ عِنْدَ رَفَعِهِ إِيَّاهُمَا فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي وَصَفْنَاهُ

[Machine] "I was a boy who did not understand my father's prayer, so Wa'il ibn 'Alqamah narrated to me from Wa'il ibn Hujr, who said, 'I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and when he entered the row, he would raise his hands and say takbir, then he would tie his lower garment, bringing his hand inside it, and hold his left hand with his right hand. When he wanted to bow, he would take out his hands and raise them and say takbir, then he would bow. When he raised his head from the bowing position, he would raise his hands and say takbir, then he would prostrate. Then he would place his face between his hands.' Ibn Juhaadah said, 'I mentioned that to al-Hasan ibn Abi al-Hasan, and he said, 'That is the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , those who did it, did it, and those who left it, left it.''  

ابن حبّان:١٨٦٢أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ السَّامِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جُحَادَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ قَالَ

كُنْتُ غُلَامًا لَا أَعْقِلُ صَلَاةَ أَبِي فَحَدَّثَنِي وَائِلُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ قَالَ «صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّفِّ* رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَكَبَّرَ ثُمَّ الْتَحَفَ فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ فَأَخَذَ شِمَالَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ أَخْرَجَ يَدَيْهِ وَرَفَعَهُمَا وَكَبَّرَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فَكَبَّرَ فَسَجَدَ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ وَجْهَهُ بَيْنَ كَفَّيْهِ» قَالَ ابْنُ جُحَادَةَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ فَقَالَ «هِيَ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَعَلَهُ مَنْ فَعَلَهُ وَتَرَكَهُ مَنْ تَرَكَهُ»

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.

[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."
