أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَإِذَا قَالَ " سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ " . قَالَ " رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ " . وَكَانَ لاَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ .
ʿAmr ibn ʿAli informed us: Yahya ibn Saʿid narrated to us: Malik ibn Anas narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from Salim, from his father (ʿAbdullah ibn ʿUmar), that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to raise his hands to shoulder level when beginning the prayer. When he raised his head from bowing, he did likewise, and when he said, “Allah hears whoever praises Him,” he said, “Our Lord, to You is all praise.” He did not raise his hands between the two prostrations.
Translation notes
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ،
The Arabic chain includes transmitters preceding Salim and identifies his father through a linked source narrator, while the English witness starts at Salim.
Should the English witness include the full chain of transmission?
