حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ الْجُشَمِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جُحَادَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ غُلَامًا لَا أَعْقِلُ صَلَاةَ أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَحَدَّثَنِي وَائِلُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْر، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَانَ إِذَا كَبَّرَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ الْتَحَفَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ شِمَالَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ وَأَدْخَلَ يَدَيْهِ فِي ثَوْبِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ أَخْرَجَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَهُمَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَوَضَعَ وَجْهَهُ بَيْنَ كَفَّيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ أَيْضًا رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ:‏‏‏‏ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هِيَ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَعَلَهُ مَنْ فَعَلَهُ وَتَرَكَهُ مَنْ تَرَكَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُحَادَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَمْ يَذْكُرِ الرَّفْعَ مَعَ الرَّفْعِ مِنَ السُّجُودِ.

I was a small boy and I did not understand the prayer of my father. So Wail bin Alqamah reported Wail bin Hujr as saying: I offered prayer along with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He used to raise his hands when he pronounced the takbir (Allah is most great), then pulled his garment around him, then placed his right hand on his left, and entered his hands in his garment. When he was about to bow he took his hands out of his garment, and then raised them. And when he raised his head after bowing, he raised his hands. He then prostrated himself and placed his face (forehead on the ground) between his hands. And when he raised his head after prostration, he also raised his hands until he finished his prayer. Muhammad (a narrator) said: I mentioned it to al-Hasan bin Abu al-Hasan who said: This is how the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم offered prayer; some did it and others abandoned it. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Hammam from Ibn Juhadah, but he did not mention the raising of hands after he raised his head at the end of the prostration.
