Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ - عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَإِذَا قَامَ مِنَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ كَذَلِكَ حَذْوَ الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-A‘la al-San‘ani reported to us, saying: al-Mu‘tamir reported to us; he said: I heard ‘Ubayd Allah—namely, Ibn ‘Umar—from Ibn Shihab, from Salim, from Ibn ‘Umar, from the Prophet (ﷺ), that he used to raise his hands when beginning the prayer, when intending to bow, when raising his head from bowing, and when standing up after the two rak‘ahs. He would raise them in the same way, level with his shoulders.
