“I said: ‘I will look at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and see how he performs the prayer.’ He stood up and faced the Qiblah, and raised his hands until they were parallel to his ears. When he bowed, he raised them likewise, and when he raised his head from Ruku’, he raised them likewise.”  

ابن ماجة:٨٦٧حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الضَّرِيرُ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ قَالَ

قُلْتُ لأَنْظُرَنَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَيْفَ يُصَلِّي فَقَامَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى حَاذَتَا أُذُنَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَكَعَ رَفَعَهُمَا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ رَفَعَهُمَا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ

[Machine] "I said, 'I will watch how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prays.' So, he faced the qibla (direction of prayer) and raised his hands until they reached his ears. Then, he took his left hand with his right hand. When he wanted to bow, he raised them both like that, then placed his hands on his knees. When he raised his head from the bowing position, he raised them both like that. When he prostrated, he placed his head in that position in front of him.'"
