SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 1 > BOOK 12: CHARACTERISTICS OF PRAYER
I saw that whenever Allah’s Apostle stood for the prayer, he used to raise both his hands up to the
shoulders, and used to do the same on saying the Takbir for bowing and on raising his head from it
and used to say, “Sami a-l-lahu Liman hamida”. But he did not do that (i.e. raising his hands) in pros –
trations.
