حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ أَنَّهُ رَأَى نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فِي صَلَاتِهِ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ رُكُوعِهِ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ سُجُودِهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ

Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿAdī narrated to us, from Saʿīd, from Qatādah, from Naṣr ibn ʿĀṣim, from Mālik ibn al-Ḥuwayirth (رضي الله عنه) that he saw the Prophet ﷺ of Allāh ﷺ raising his hands in prayer when he raised his head from rukūʿ and when he was about to go into rukūʿ — until they reached level with the tips of his ears.
