Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ كَبَّرَ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا مَنْكِبَيْهِ كَمَا صَنَعَ حِينَ افْتَتَحَ الصَّلاَةَ ‏.‏

Translation

Ya‘qub ibn Ibrahim al-Dawraqi and Muhammad ibn Bashshar reported to us—the wording is his. They said: Yahya ibn Sa‘id reported to us; he said: ‘Abd al-Hamid ibn Ja‘far reported to us; Muhammad ibn ‘Amr ibn ‘Ata’ narrated to me, from Abu Humayd al-Sa‘idi, who said: I heard him narrate that the Prophet (ﷺ), when rising after the two prostrations, would say the takbir and raise his hands until they were level with his shoulders, just as he did when beginning the prayer.

Translation notes
  • The Arabic specifies the two prostrations (al-sajdatayn); the chapter context concerns raising the hands when standing for the final two rak‘ahs.
