I said to myself, "I will surely watch how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prays."He stood up and faced the qiblah, then raised his hands until they were level with his ears. When he bowed, he raised them in the same manner, and when he lifted his head from bowing, he raised them in the same manner again.
حدثنا بشر بن معاذ الضرير حدثنا بشر بن المفضل حدثنا عاصم بن كليب عن أبيه
قلت لأنظرن إلى رسول الله ﷺ كيف يصلي فقام فاستقبل القبلة فرفع يديه حتى حاذتا أذنيه فلما ركع رفعهما مثل ذلك فلما رفع رأسه من الركوع رفعهما مثل ذلك
[Its isnad is sahih] Abu Dawud narrated it in the Book of Prayer, Chapter on Raising the Hands in Prayer, no. 726, from the hadith of Bishr, in full, and Ibn Khuzayma, Ibn Hibban, and others graded it sahih.
