"رَأَيْتُ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ رَفَعَ يَدَيْه إِذَا رَكَعَ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأسَهُ مِنَ الركُوعِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِى بِهِمَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ".

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَحِينَ رَكَعَ وَحِينَ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ حَتَّى حَاذَتَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ
"I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raise his hands until they reached the highest part of his ears, when he said the takbir, when he bowed and when he raised his head from bowing."

His father said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he started to pray, raise his hands until they were parallel to his shoulders, (and he did that) when he bowed and when he raised his head from bowing."

I saw the Prophet ﷺ raise his hands when he uttered the takbir (Allah is most great), when he bowed and when he raised his head after bowing until he brought them to the lobes of his ears.
رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا كَبَّرَ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ بِهِمَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ
“I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raising his hands until they were parallel to his shoulders when he started the prayer, and when he bowed in Ruku’, and when he raised his head from Ruku’, but he did not raise them between the two prostrations.”
رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلاَةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَلاَ يَرْفَعُ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ
He saw the Prophet ﷺ raise his hands when praying, when he bowed, when he raised his head from bowing, when he prostrated and when he raised his head from prostrating, until they were in level with the top part of his ears. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1085)
أَنَّهُ رَأَى نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فِي صَلَاتِهِ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ رُكُوعِهِ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ سُجُودِهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ

[Machine] Certainly, the Prophet ﷺ used to "when he performed the takbeer, he would raise his hands until they were level with his ears, and when he intended to bow, and when he raised his head from bowing."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ «إِذَا كَبَّرَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ أُذُنَيْهِ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ»
ذِكْرُ إِبَاحَةِ رَفْعِ الْمَرْءِ يَدَيْهِ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي وَصَفْنَاهُ إِلَى حَدِّ أُذُنَيْهِ
[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ used to raise his hands when he started the prayer until his hands were level with his ears, and when he bowed, and when he raised his head from the bowing position."
«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا كَبَّرَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا أُذُنَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ»
[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ used to raise his hands when he said the takbeer at the beginning of the prayer until they reached the level of his ears. And when he bowed and raised his head from Rukoo', the wording is the same."
«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ» إِذَا كَبَّرَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِي بِهِمَا أُذُنَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ «وَاللَّفْظُ وَاحِدٌ»
[Machine] "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to, when he entered prayer, raise his hands to the level of his ears. And when he bowed, and when he raised his head from bowing."
«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ» إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى فُرُوعِ أُذُنَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to raise his hands when he started the takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar in prayer) until they were level with his ears, and when he raised his head from rukoo' (bowing position), he did the same."
«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ» إِذَا كَبَّرَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِي بِهِمَا أُذُنَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ
[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raising his hands when he said the takbeer until they reached his ears, and when he bowed, and when he raised his head from the bowing position.
«رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ» يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا كَبَّرَ حَتَّى يُحَاذِي بِهِمَا أُذُنَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ
[Machine] "I saw the Prophet ﷺ raising his hands until they were level with the sides of his ears. Zaid ibn Zurai said, 'And when he bowed, it was like that, and when he raised his head from the bowing position, it was like that.'
«رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ» يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِي بِهِمَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ زَادَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ «وَإِذَا رَكَعَ كَذَلِكَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ كَذَلِكَ»
[Machine] "He prayed with the Prophet ﷺ , and I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raising his hands when he said the takbeer, and when he wanted to bow, and when he raised his head from the rukoo' towards his ears."
أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا كَبَّرَ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ نَحْوَ أُذُنَيْهِ
[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ, when he started the prayer, he lifted his hands, and when he bowed and when he raised his head from the bowing position, he did not raise his hands above his ears with them.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «كَانَ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَلَا يُجَاوِزُ بِهِمَا أُذُنَيْهِ»

His father said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he started to pray, raise his hands until they were parallel to his shoulders, (and he did that) when he bowed and when he raised his head from bowing." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1025)
رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِي مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ»
He saw the Prophet ﷺ raise his hands when he bowed, and when he raised his head from bowing, until they were in level with the highest part of his ears. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1056)
