حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَن عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَن الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا كَبَّرَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى نَرَى إِبْهَامَيْهِ قَرِيبًا مِنْ أُذُنَيْهِ.
English Translation
'Abd al-Razzaq told us: Sufyan informed us, from Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, from al-Bara' ibn 'Azib, who said: When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said the takbir, he would raise his hands until we could see his thumbs close to his ears.
