Muhammad ibn Rafi' narrated to me, Hujayn — that is, ibn al-Muthanna — narrated to us, al-Layth narrated to us, from 'Uqayl. And Muhammad ibn 'Abdullah ibn Quhzadh narrated to me, Salamah ibn Sulayman narrated to us, Yunus informed us — both of them from al-Zuhri, with this chain of transmission, just as Ibn Jurayj said: When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, stood for prayer, he raised his hands until they were level with his shoulders, then he said the takbir.
