Sunan an-Nasa'i 1059
أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلاَةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَإِذَا كَبَّرَ لِلرُّكُوعِ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ رَفَعَهُمَا كَذَلِكَ أَيْضًا وَقَالَ " سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ " . وَكَانَ لاَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي السُّجُودِ .
Suwayd ibn Nasr informed us: ʿAbdullah ibn al-Mubarak informed us, from Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from Salim, from Ibn ʿUmar, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), when beginning the prayer, would raise his hands to shoulder level. When he said the takbir for bowing, and when he raised his head from bowing, he raised them in the same way. He said, “Allah hears whoever praises Him; our Lord, to You is all praise.” He did not do this during prostration.
Translation notes
أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ،
The English witness begins with Ibn ʿUmar and omits the earlier narrators named in the Arabic chain.
Should the English witness preserve the full chain of transmission?
