nasai-kubra:650Sūwayd b. Naṣr > ʿAbdullāh > Mālik > Ibn Shihāb > Sālim > Ibn ʿUmar

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. (Using translation from Bukhārī 735)

muslim:390bMuḥammad b. Rāfiʿ > ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Ibn Jurayj > Ibn Shihāb > Sālim b. ʿAbdullāh > Ibn ʿUmar

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.

muslim:391bAbū Kāmil al-Jaḥdarī > Abū ʿAwānah > Qatādah > Naṣr b. ʿĀṣim > Mālik b. al-Ḥūwayrith

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands apposite his ears at the time of reciting the takbir (i. e. at the time of beginning the prayer) and then again raised his hands apposite the ears at the time of bowing and when he lifted his head after bowing he said: Allah listened to him who praised Him, and did like it (raised his hands up to the ears).

I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he said the opening Takbir of the prayer, raise his hands until they were level with his shoulders.

And when he would raise his head, he would also do the same. And when he would say "Allah hears the one who praises Him," he would say "Our Lord, to You is the praise" and he would do the same. And he would not do this during prostration.

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. (Using translation from Bukhārī 735)

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to raise his hands until they were in level with his shoulders when he started to pray, and when he raised his head from bowing he did likewise, and when he said: Sami' Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears the one who praises Him)" he said: "Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (Our Lord, to You be praise)" and he did not raise his hands between the two prostrations. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1057)

I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ opening the prayer with the Takbir and raising his hands to the level of his shoulders at the time of saying the Takbir, and on saying the Takbir for bowing he did the same; and when he said, "Samiʿa l-lahu liman hamidah ", he did the same and then said, "Rabbana wa laka lhamd." But he did not do the same on prostrating and on lifting the head from it." (Using translation from Bukhārī 738)

[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.
