Sunan an-Nasa'i 1102

Ahmad ibn Nasih informed me; he said: Ibn Idris narrated to us; he said: I heard ‘Asim ibn Kulayb mention, from his father, from Wa’il ibn Hujr, who said: I came to Madinah and said, ‘I will surely observe the Messenger of Allah’s (ﷺ) prayer.’ He said the takbir and raised his hands until I saw his thumbs near his ears. When he intended to bow, he said the takbir and raised his hands. Then he raised his head and said, ‘Allah hears whoever praises Him.’ Then he said the takbir and prostrated; his hands were positioned in relation to his ears as they had been when he began the prayer.
