"عَنْ وَائِلٍ قَالَ: رَأيْتُ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَذْوَ منْكبيْهِ حِينَ رَكَعَ، وَحِينَ رَفَعَ رَأسَهُ مِن الرُّكُوع، وَرَأَيْتُهُ حِينَ جَلَسَ فاضجع اليُسْرَى فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهَا وَنَصَب اليُمْنَى وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ اليُمْنَى، وَيَدَهُ اليُسْرى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ اليُسْرى، وَقَبَضَ اثْنَتَينِ وَحَلَّقَ حَلقَةً في الثَّالِثَةِ، قَالَ: تَقَدّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَرآهُمْ يَرْفَعُونَ أيْدِيَهُمْ في البَرَانِسِ".

"I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I saw him raising his hands when he started to pray until they were in level with his shoulders, and when he wanted to bow. When he sat following the first two rak'ahs, he sat on his left foot and held the right foot upright. He placed his right hand on his right thigh and raised his finger for the supplication, and he placed his left hand on his left thigh." He said: "Then I came the following year and I saw them raising their hands inside their Baranis."
