Ibn al-Mundhir mentioned: And Al-Awzā’ī said: ‘What has reached us from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, regarding what the scholars of the Hijaz, al-Shām, and al-Basrah agreed upon, is that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to raise his hands level with his shoulders when saying the opening takbīr of the prayer, and he raised his hands level with his shoulders when saying the takbīr for bowing (rukūʿ). And when he raised his head from the bowing, except for the people of Kūfah, for they differed in that.’ [Al-Awsat - Ibn al-Mundhir - Volume 3 - Page 147]

Ibn Abdul-Barr mentioned: ‘Abd al-Warith ibn Sufyan narrated to us: Qasim ibn Asbag narrated to us, Ahmad ibn Zuhayr narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Zayd al-Rifa‘i said: Dawud ibn Hayya ibn Yaman, the trustworthy and reliable, narrated from Ibn al-Mubarak, who said: "I prayed next to Sufyan, intending to raise my hands when I bowed and when I rose. But I hesitated to do so and said to myself, ‘Sufyan will prevent me.’ Then I said, ‘There is something I owe to Allah; I will not leave it.’ So I did it, and he did not prevent me. It is also narrated from Ibn al-Mubarak that he said: ‘I prayed next to Abu Hanifa and raised my hands at the bowing and when rising from it. When my prayer ended, he said to me, “Did you intend to fly?” I replied, “And does anyone who raises [the hands] at the beginning intend to fly?” Then he fell silent.’” [Al-Tamheed - Volume 9 - Page 228-229]

Ibn Abdul-Barr mentioned: ʿAbd al-Wārith ibn Sufyān narrated to us, who said: Qāsim ibn Aṣbagh narrated to us, who said: Abū ʿUbaydah ibn Aḥmad narrated to us, who said: Yūnus ibn ʿAbd al-Aʿlā narrated to us, who said: Ashhab ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz said: I accompanied Mālik ibn Anas for a year before his death, and he did not die except that he practised the raising of his hands (in prayer). It was said to Yūnus: Did Ashhab describe the raising of the hands from Mālik? He said: Ashhab was asked about it more than once, and he would say: He raises his hands when opening the prayer (the opening takbīr), when he intends to go into rukūʿ, and when he says: “Samiʿa Allāhu liman ḥamidah.” Yūnus said: Ibn Wahb narrated to me, saying: I accompanied Mālik on the road to ḥajj. When we reached a place mentioned by Yūnus, my she-camel came close to his, so I said: “O Abū ʿAbdillāh, how does the one praying raise his hands in the prayer?” He said: “And about this you ask me? I do not like to hear this except from you.” Then he said: “When he enters into iḥrām, when he intends to go into rukūʿ, and when he says: ‘Samiʿa Allāhu liman ḥamidah.’” Abū ʿUbaydah said: I heard this from Yūnus more than once. And in al-Mustakhrajah, from the narration of Ashhab and Ibn Nāfiʿ from Mālik, he said: The one praying raises his hands when he raises his head from rukūʿ and says: “Samiʿa Allāhu liman ḥamidah.” He said: Raising the hands is not obligatory, and in that there is flexibility. Al-Ṭabarī mentioned: Yūnus ibn ʿAbd al-Aʿlā narrated to us from Ashhab, from Mālik, similar to that. And those behind the imām raise their hands following his raising when he says: “Samiʿa Allāhu liman ḥamidah.” He said: Raising the hands is not obligatory, and in that there is flexibility.

He continued this throughout his prayer. [Al-Tamheed - Volume 9 - Page 223]

Ibn Abdul-Barr mentioned: Aḥmad narrated to us, who said: Aḥmad ibn Saʿīd narrated to us, who said: Aḥmad ibn Khālid and Saʿīd ibn ʿUthmān narrated to us that they heard Yaḥyā ibn ʿUmar say: I heard Abū al-Muṣʿab al-Zuhrī say: I saw Mālik ibn Anas raising his hands when he said “Samiʿa Allāhu liman ḥamidah,” according to the report of Ibn ʿUmar. Aḥmad ibn Khālid said: And a group of our scholars with us would raise their hands in prayer according to the report of Ibn ʿUmar and the narration of those who transmitted it from Mālik. And another group only raises at the takbiratul iḥrām, according to the narration of Ibn al-Qāsim. There was no criticism from these of those, nor from those of these. [Al-Tamheed - Volume 9 - Page 223]

وَسَمِعْتُ شَيْخَنَا أَبَا عُمَرَ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ كَانَ أَبُو إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ شَيْخُنَا يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ كُلَّمَا خَفَضَ وَرَفَعَ عَلَى حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ فِي الْمُوَطَّأِ وَكَانَ أَفْضَلُ مَنْ رَأَيْتُ وَأَفْقَهُهُمْ وَأصَحُّهُمْ عِلْمًا وَدِينًا فَقَلَتْ لَهُ فَلِمَ لَا تَرْفَعُ أَنْتَ فَنَقْتَدِي بِكَ قَالَ لِي لَا أُخَالِفُ رِوَايَةَ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ لِأَنَّ الْجَمَاعَةَ لَدَيْنَا الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْهَا وَمُخَالَفَةُ الْجَمَاعَةِ فِيمَا قَدْ أُبِيحَ لَنَا ليس من شيم الأيمة

Ibn Abdul-Barr mentioned: And I heard our Shaykh, Abū ʿUmar Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Hāshim rahimahullah, say: Abū Ibrāhīm Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm, our Shaykh, used to raise his hands every time he lowered or raised, according to the report of Ibn ʿUmar in al-Muwaṭṭaʾ. (Abū ʿUmar Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Hāshim said:) He (Abū Ibrāhīm Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm) was the most outstanding of those I have seen, the most knowledgeable, and the most correct in knowledge and religion. It was said to him (Abū Ibrāhīm Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm): “Why do you not do it (raising the hands) so that we may follow your example?” He said to me: “I do not wish to contradict the narration of Ibn al-Qāsim, for the community today follows it, And opposing the community in something that has been permitted for us is not from the character of the imams.” [Al-Tamheed - Volume 9 - Page 223]

وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ الَّذِي آخُذُ بِهِ فِي رَفْعِ الْيَدَيْنِ أَنْ أَرْفَعَ عَلَى حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ وَلَمْ يَرْوِ أَحَدٌ عَنْ مَالِكٍ مِثْلَ رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ فِي رَفْعِ الْيَدَيْنِ
[التمهيد - المجلد ٩ - الصفحة ٢٢٣]

Ibn Abdul-Barr mentioned: And Muḥammad ibn ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥakam said: “As for raising the hands, I follow the report of Ibn ʿUmar.” He said: “No one has narrated from Mālik a report like that of Ibn al-Qāsim regarding the raising of the hands (meaning, Ibn al-Qasim was alone in reporting from Malik that one should only raise the hands in Takbiratul Ihram).” [Al-Tamheed - Volume 9 - Page 223]

وَقَالَ مَالك لَا أعرف رفع الْيَدَيْنِ فِي شَيْء من تَكْبِيرَات الصَّلَاة لَا فِي خفض وَلَا رفع قَالَ وافتتاح الصَّلَاة يرفع شَيْئا قَلِيلا إِن رفع قَالَ ابْن الْقَاسِم وَرفع الْيَدَيْنِ عِنْد مَالك فِي كل شَيْء ضَعِيف هَذِه رِوَايَة ابْن الْقَاسِم وَحكى ابْن وهب عَنهُ أَنه يرفع يَدَيْهِ للرُّكُوع وَبعد أَن يرفع رَأسه من الرُّكُوع روى عَنهُ أَشهب أَنه لَا يرفع إِلَّا فِي التَّكْبِيرَة الأولى وَقَالَ أَشهب عَنهُ أَيْضا إِن الإِمَام يرفع يَدَيْهِ إِذا قَالَ سمع الله لمن حَمده
[اختلاف الفقهاء - الطحاوي - المجلد ١ - الصفحة ١٩٩]

Al-Tahawi said: "Mālik said: I do not know of raising the hands in any of the takbīrs of the prayer, neither when lowering nor when rising. He said: and at the opening of the prayer, he raises them slightly, if he raises them. Ibn al-Qāsim said: raising the hands according to Mālik in all (other) instances is weak. This is the narration of Ibn al-Qāsim. Ibn Wahb narrated from him (Malik) that he would raise his hands for rukūʿ and after raising his head from rukūʿ. Ashhab narrated from him that he does not raise them except in the first takbīr. Ashhab also said from him: the imām raises his hands when he says “Samiʿa Allāhu liman ḥamidah.”" [Ikhtilaf al-Fuqaha - al-Tahawi - Volume 1 - Page 199]

[الأم - المجلد ٧ - الصفحة ٢١١]

Imam al-Shafi'i said: “The one praying raises his hands in the first rak‘ah three times, and in what follows of the prayer, two times each. He raises his hands at the beginning of the prayer with the opening takbīr, level with his shoulders. He also does this at the takbīr for bowing, and when saying, ‘Sami‘a Allahu liman hamidah’ when rising from bowing. There is no opening takbīr except in the first (rak‘ah). In every rak‘ah there is the takbīr for bowing, and the statement ‘Sami‘a Allahu liman hamidah’ when rising from bowing, and he raises his hands in these two places in every prayer.” [Al-Umm - Volume 7 - Page 211]

[الأم - المجلد ٧ - الصفحة ٢١١]

Imam al-Shafi'i said: "The proof in this is that Malik informed us from Ibn Shihab, from Salim, from his father (Ibn Umar): “That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he began the prayer, would raise his hands level with his shoulders, and when he raised his head from bowing, he would raise them likewise, and he would not do that in prostration.” Sufyan informed us from al-Zuhri, from Salim ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Umar, from his father (Ibn Umar): ‘That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to raise his hands when he began the prayer, when he intended to bow, and when he raised his head from bowing, and he would not raise them in prostration.’ This has been narrated from the Prophet (ﷺ) by more than ten men. Sufyan informed us from ‘Asim ibn Kulayb, from his father, from Wa’il ibn Hujr, who said: ‘I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raising his hands at the opening of the prayer, when he intended to bow, and when he rose from bowing.’ ‘Then I (Wa’il ibn Hujr) came to them during winter and saw them (the companions) raising their hands inside their hooded cloaks (barānis).’" [Al-Umm - Volume 7 - Page 211]

(قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ): أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ إذَا ابْتَدَأَ الصَّلَاةَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ عَنْ الرُّكُوعِ رَفَعَهُمَا كَذَلِكَ وَهُوَ يَرَى «عَنْ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنَّهُ كَانَ إذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ الرُّكُوعِ رَفَعَهُمَا كَذَلِكَ»
[الأم - المجلد ٧ - الصفحة ٢٦٥]

Imam al-Shafi'i mentioned: Malik informed us from Nafi‘ that Ibn ‘Umar, when he began the prayer, would raise his hands level with his shoulders, and when he rose from bowing, he would raise them likewise. And he observed that the Prophet (ﷺ), when he began the prayer, would raise his hands level with his shoulders, and when he raised his head from bowing, he would raise them likewise. [Al-Umm - Volume 7 - Page 265]

وَكَذَلِكَ إنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الصَّلَوَاتِ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ لِأَنَّهُ فِي مَوْضِعِ قِيَامٍ وَكَذَلِكَ صَلَاةُ النَّافِلَةِ، وَكُلُّ صَلَاةٍ صَلَّاهَا قَائِمًا أَوْ قَاعِدًا لِأَنَّهُ كُلٌّ فِي مَوْضِعِ قِيَامٍ.
[الأم - المجلد ٧ - الصفحة ٢٧١]

Imam al-Shafi'i said: "Likewise, if he prays sitting in any of these prayers, he raises his hands because he is in the position of standing. The same applies to voluntary (nafl) prayer and every prayer he performs, whether standing or sitting, because all of these take the ruling of the standing position." [Al-Umm - Volume 7 - Page 271]

فَقَالَ من رفع افضل
[مسائل عبدالله – الصفحة ٧٠]

Abdullah ibn Ahmad mentioned: I asked my father about raising the hands in prayer, and he said: “It is best when one raises the hands.” [Masail Abdullah - Page 70]

وَفِيمَا أَجَازَ لَنَا قَاسِمُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ وَعَبَّاسُ بْنُ أَصْبَغَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَيْمَنَ عَنْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ مَنْ رَفْعِ يَدَيْهِ فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ يَرْفَعُونَ قَالَ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ رُبَّمَا فَعَلَهُ وَرُبَّمَا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ قَالَ وَيَنْبَغِي لِكُلِّ مَصَلٍّ أَنْ يَفْعَلَهُ فَإِنَّهُ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ وَمِمَّا يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ رَفْعَ الْيَدَيْنِ لَيْسَ بِوَاجِبٍ مَا أَخْبَرَ بِهِ الْحَسَنُ عَنِ الصَّحَابَةِ أَنَّ مَنْ رَفَعَ مِنْهُمْ لَمْ يَعِبْ عَلَى مَنْ تَرَكَهُ
[التمهيد - المجلد ٩ - الصفحة ٢٢٦]

Ibn Abdul-Barr mentioned: And as for what Qāsim ibn Aḥmad and ʿAbbās ibn Aṣbagh narrated to me, from Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Ayman, from ʿAbdullāh ibn Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, he said: “I heard my father say: whoever raises his hands, it is better.” He (Imam Ahmad) said: Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd, Ibn ʿUlayyah, and Yazīd ibn Hārūn used to raise them. He said: Ibn ʿUyaynah sometimes did it and sometimes did not. He (Imam Ahmad) said: “It is recommended for every worshipper to do it, for it is from the Sunnah, and it indicates that raising the hands is not obligatory, as al-Ḥasan reported from the Companions: whoever among them raised his hands, no one reproached those who did not.” [Al-Tamheed - Volume 9 - Page 226]

٢٥٣ - حَدثنَا قَالَ سَمِعت ابي سُئِلَ عَن الرّفْع فِي الصَّلَاة فَقَالَ يرفع اذا رفع رَأسه وَلَا يرفع بَين السَّجْدَتَيْنِ
حَدثنَا قَالَ رَأَيْت ابي اذا رفع رَأسه من الرُّكُوع رفع يَدَيْهِ
[مسائل عبدالله – الصفحة ٧٠]

Abdullah ibn Ahmad mentioned: I heard my father being asked about raising the hands in prayer, and he said: “He raises them when he raises his head, and he does not raise them between the two prostrations (sujūd).” I saw my father (Ahmad ibn Hanbal), when he raised his head from the ruku‘, he raised his hands. [Masail Abdullah - Page 70]

رَفْعُ الْيَدَيْنِ عِنْدَ الرُّكُوعِ وَالرَّفْعِ «رأيتُ أَحْمَدَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ عِنْدَ الرُّكُوعِ وَعِنْدَ الرَّفْعِ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ كَرَفْعِهِ عِنْدَ الِاسْتِفْتَاحِ، يُحَاذِيَانِ أُذُنَيْهِ، وَرُبَّمَا قَصَرَ عَنْ رَفْعِ الِافْتِتَاحِ» .
[مسائل أبو داود – الصفحة ٥٠]

Abu Dawud mentioned: I saw Ahmad raise his hands before going into ruku‘ and when rising from the ruku‘, the same way he raised them at the opening, level with his ears. Sometimes he raised them little lower than at the opening takbir. [Masail Abu Dawud - Page 50]

سَمِعْتُ أَحْمَدَ، قِيلَ لَهُ: " رَجُلٌ سَمِعَ هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ لَا يَرْفَعُ، هُوَ تَامُّ الصَّلَاةِ؟ قَالَ: تَمَامُ الصَّلَاةِ لَا أَدْرِي، وَلَكِنْ هُوَ عِنْدِي فِي نَفْسِهِ مُتَغَرِّضٌ ".
[مسائل أبو داود – الصفحة ٥٠]

Abu Dawud mentioned: Ahmad was asked: A man has heard these hadiths from the Prophet – peace be upon him – and then does not raise (his hands). Is his prayer complete?’ He said: ‘I do not know, but to me, it is blameworthy in itself.’” [Masail Abu Dawud - Page 50]

سَمِعْتُ أَحْمَدَ، " سُئِلَ عَنِ الرَّفْعِ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ الثِّنْتَيْنِ؟ قَالَ: أَمَّا أَنَا، فَلَا أَرْفَعُ يَدَيَّ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ أَرْفَعُ يَدَيَّ؟ قَالَ: لَا «.
[مسائل أبو داود – الصفحة ٥١]

Abu Dawud mentioned: Ahmad was asked: ‘What about raising the hands when standing up from the two prostrations?’ He said: ‘As for me, I don't do that.’ It was said to him: ‘Between the two prostrations, should I raise my hands?’ He said: ‘No.’” [Masail Abu Dawud - Page 51]

قال الأثرم وسمعته غيره مر يَسْأَلُ عَنْ رَفْعِ الْيَدَيْنِ عِنْدَ الرُّكُوعِ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ قَالَ وَمَنْ شَكَّ فِي ذَلِكَ كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِذَا رَأَى مَنْ لَا يَرْفَعُ حَصَبَهُ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي أَحْمَدَ بْنَ حَنْبَلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ وَاقِدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ نَافِعًا قَالَ كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِذَا رَأَى رَجُلًا لَا يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ حَصَبَهُ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ
[التمهيد - المجلد ٩ - الصفحة ٢٢٤]

Ibn Abdul-Barr mentioned: Al-Athram said, and I heard others say, that people ask about raising the hands at rukūʿ and when raising the head from it. He said: “Whoever doubts, know that Ibn ʿUmar, when he saw someone who did not raise his hands, would correct him.” And Abū ʿAbdullāh, meaning Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, said: “Al-Walīd ibn Muslim narrated to us that he heard Zayd ibn Wāqid say: I heard Nāfiʿ say: When Ibn ʿUmar saw a man not raising his hands, he would correct him and order him to raise them.” [Al-Tamheed - Volume 9 - Page 224]

قِيلَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ نَذْهَبُ لِرَفْعِ الْيَدَيْنِ فِي الْقِيَامِ مِنَ اثْنَتَيْنِ أَيْضًا قَالَ لَا أَنَا أَذْهَبُ إِلَى حَدِيثِ سَالِمٍ عَنِ أبِيهِ وَلَا أَذْهَبُ إِلَى حَدِيثِ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ لِأَنَّهُ مُخْتَلَفٌ فِي أَلْفَاظِهِ حَدِيثُ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ خِلَافُ حَدِيثِ عمرو بن مرة
[التمهيد - المجلد ٩ - الصفحة ٢٢٤]

Ibn Abdul-Barr mentioned: It was said to Abū ʿAbdullāh (Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal): “Should we also raise our hands when standing after the two rak'ahs of prayer?” He said: “No, I do not follow the report (on this issue) of Sālim from his father, nor the report of Wāʾil ibn Ḥujr, for their wordings differ. The report of ʿĀṣim ibn Kulayb contradicts the report of ʿAmr ibn Murrah.” [Al-Tamheed - Volume 9 - Page 224]

Here Imam Ahmad says that he does not hold the view of raising the hands after the first tashahhud.

قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْأَثْرَمُ قِيلَ لِأَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ رَفْعُ الْيَدَيْنِ مِنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثَ سَالِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَلَا يَرْفَعُ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ نَحْنُ نَذْهَبُ إِلَى حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ
[التمهيد - المجلد ٩ - الصفحة ٢٢٨]

Ibn Abdul-Barr mentioned: Abu Bakr al-Athram said: It was said to Ahmad ibn Hanbal regarding raising the hands between the two prostrations. He mentioned the hadith of Salim from Ibn ‘Umar, who does not raise his hands between the two prostrations. Then he said: “We will go to the hadith of Ibn ‘Umar.” [Al-Tamheed - Volume 9 - Page 228]

١٣٩١ - حَدَّثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ: ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، عَنْ حَسَنِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبْجَرَ، عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، قَالَ: «صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ يَدَيْهِ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ إِلَّا حِينَ يَفْتَتِحُ الصَّلَاةَ» وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ: وَرَأَيْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَأَبَا إِسْحَاقَ لَا يَرْفَعُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ إِلَّا حِينَ يَفْتَتِحُونَ الصَّلَاةَ.
