The Prophet (ﷺ) used to raise his hands when he began to pray, when he wanted to bow, when he raised his head from bowing, and when he stood up after the first two rak'ahs, he would raise his hands likewise, level with his shoulders.

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Suwaid bin Nashr dia berkata; telah memberitakan kepada kami 'Abdullah bin Al Mubarak dari Yunus dari Az Zuhri dia berkata; aku mendengar Abu Al Ahwash menceritakan kepada kami di majlis Sa'id bin Al Musayyib dan Ibnu Al Musayyib waktu itu sedang duduk mendengar Abu Dzarr berkata; Rasululllah Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam bersabda: Allah Azza wa Jalla akan selalu menghadap seorang hamba ketika dia shalat selagi hamba tersebut tidak menoleh apabila dia menoleh maka Allah pun berpaling darinya.
