Sunan an-Nasa'i, 1102

It was narrated that Wa'il bin Hujr said:"I came to Al-Madinah and said: 'I am going to watch the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) pray. He said the takbir and raised his hands until I saw his thumbs near his ears. When he wanted to bow, he said the takbir and raised his hands. Then he raised his head and said: 'Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears the one who praises Him).' Then he said the takbir and prostrated, and his hands were in the same position in relation to his ears as when he started the prayer

Rapporté par Wa'il bin Hujr : Je suis venu à Médine et j’ai dit : "Je vais observer la prière du Messager d’Allah (ﷺ)." Il a prononcé le takbir et a levé les mains jusqu’à ce que je voie ses pouces près de ses oreilles. Quand il voulait s’incliner, il disait le takbir et levait les mains. Ensuite, il relevait la tête et disait : "Sami Allahu liman hamidah" ("Allah entend celui qui Le loue"). Puis il disait le takbir et se prosternait, et ses mains étaient dans la même position par rapport à ses oreilles qu’au début de la prière
