أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فِي صَلاَتِهِ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ .
Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna informed us: Ibn Abi ʿAdi narrated to us, from Shuʿbah, from Qatadah, from Nasr ibn ʿAsim, from Malik ibn al-Huwairith, who saw the Prophet (ﷺ) raise his hands during prayer: when bowing, when raising his head from bowing, when prostrating, and when raising his head from prostration, until they were level with the upper parts of his ears.
Translation notes
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى،
The English witness begins with Malik ibn al-Huwairith and omits the earlier narrators named in the Arabic chain.
Should the English witness preserve the full chain of transmission?
