I saw that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands when he began prayer, but he did not raise them until he finished (prayer). Abu Dawud said: This tradition is not sound.

أبو داود:٧٥٢ – حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ أَخِيهِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حِينَ افْتَتَحَ الصَّلاَةَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْفَعْهُمَا حَتَّى انْصَرَفَ

الطبراني:١٣٨٩٦ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْقُدُّوسِ بْنُ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ قَالَ أنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَأَةَ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ
