739 — Qutaybah ibn Sa‘īd narrated to us: Ibn Lahī‘ah narrated to us, from Abū Hubayrah, from Maymūn al-Makkī, that he saw ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Zubayr — and he led them in prayer — gesturing with his palms when he stood up, when he bowed, when he prostrated, and when he rose to stand, so he would stand and gesture with his hands.

=============================================

It was also recorded by Ibn Khuzaymah (695) via the route of ʿUthmān ibn al-Ḥakam al-Judhāmī, from Ibn Jurayj: Ibn Shihāb informed us, with it (i.e., the same chain). ʿUthmān ibn al-Ḥakam is ṣadūq (truthful) but has errors.

The two of them were contradicted by ʿAbd al-Razzāq in Muslim (392) (28), who narrated it from Ibn Jurayj, with it, in the wording: “When the Messenger of Allah — peace and blessings be upon him — stood for prayer, he would say the takbīr when he stood, then say the takbīr when he bowed, then say: ‘Samiʿa Allāhu liman ḥamidah’ (Allah hears the one who praises Him)…,” and he mentioned the takbīr at every lowering and raising, but did not mention raising the hands.

Likewise narrated it from al-Zuhrī: ʿUqayl in al-Bukhārī (789), Muslim (392) (29), and al-Nasā’ī in al-Kubrā (740); and Maʿmar in al-Nasā’ī (746).

Likewise narrated it from Abū Hurayrah: Abū Salamah ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān in al-Bukhārī (785) and (803), Muslim (392) (27), (30), and (31), and al-Nasā’ī (745) and (746); Saʿīd al-Maqburī in al-Bukhārī (795); Saʿīd ibn Samʿān in al-Nasā’ī (957); and Abū Ṣāliḥ Dhakwān al-Sammān in Muslim (392) (32).

It is in Musnad Aḥmad (7220), (7657), (8253), and (9608), and Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān (1766) and (1777).

Ibn Mājah (860) recorded via the route of Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAyyāsh, from Ṣāliḥ ibn Kaysān, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Aʿraj, from Abū Hurayrah, who said: “I saw the Messenger of Allah — peace and blessings be upon him — raise his hands in prayer level with his shoulders when he opened the prayer, when he bowed, and when he prostrated.” Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAyyāsh is weak in his narration from other than the people of his own town, and this is among such narrations.

It is in Musnad Aḥmad (6163).

The raising of the hands at the takbīr of consecration (takbīrat al-ihrām), at the bowing, at the raising from it, and at standing up from the two rakʿahs is authentically established from the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿUmar, which has preceded under number (721) and will follow under number (741).

(1) In (D) and (H) it appears as: Ibn Hubayrah, and both are correct, for his name is ʿAbd Allāh ibn Hubayrah ibn Asʿad al-Saba’ī, and his kunyah is Abū Hubayrah.
