Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ وَأَبُو عَامِرٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا كَبَّرَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يَجْعَلَهُمَا قَرِيبًا مِنْ أُذُنَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ صَنَعَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ الرُّكُوعِ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ.
English Translation
Abd al-Samad and Abu Amir told us, they said: Hisham told us, from Qatadah, from Nasr ibn Asim, from Malik ibn al-Huwayrith, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, when he said the takbir, would raise his hands until he brought them close to his ears; and when he bowed he did the same; and when he raised his head from bowing he did the same.
