Sunan Ibn Majah 862
It was
narrated that Muhammad bin `Amr bin `Ata’ said, concerning Abu
Humaid As-Sa`di:
“I heard him when he was among ten of the
Companions
of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), one of whom was Abu
Qatadah bin
Rib`i, saying: ‘I am the most knowledgeable of you
about the prayer of the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ). When he stood up for prayer, he
stood up straight and
raised his hands until they were parallel to
his shoulders, then he
said: Allahu Akbar. When he wanted to bow in
Ruku`, he raised his
hands until they were parallel to his
shoulders. When he said Sami`
Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears
those who praise Him), he raised his
hands and stood up straight.
When he stood up after two Rak`ah, he
said Allahu Akbar and raised
his hands until they were parallel to his
shoulders, as he did when
he started the prayer.’”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ، وَهُوَ فِي عَشَرَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ، أَحَدُهُمْ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ بْنُ رِبْعِيٍّ قَالَ أَنَا أَعْلَمُكُمْ بِصَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ اعْتَدَلَ قَائِمًا، وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا مَنْكِبَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ، رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا مَنْكِبَيْهِ، فَإِذَا قَالَ ‏"‏ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فَاعْتَدَلَ، فَإِذَا قَامَ مِنَ الثِّنْتَيْنِ، كَبَّرَ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا مَنْكِبَيْهِ، كَمَا صَنَعَ حِينَ افْتَتَحَ الصَّلاَةَ ‏.‏
