حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ، وَإِذَا كَبَّرَ لِلرُّكُوعِ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ رَفَعَهُمَا كَذَلِكَ أَيْضًا وَقَالَ: «سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ». وَكَانَ لَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي السُّجُودِ

My father said, “The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to raise both his hands up to the level of his shoulders when opening the prayer; and on saying the Takbir for bowing. And on raising his head from bowing he used to do the same and then say ‘Samia l-lahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa laka l-hamd.’ And he did not do that (i.e. raising his hands) in prostrations.”

‘আবদুল্লাহ্ ইবনু ‘উমার (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত যে, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম যখন সালাত শুরু করতেন, তখন উভয় হাত তাঁর কাঁধ বরাবর উঠাতেন। আর যখন রুকূ‘তে যাওয়ার জন্য তাকবীর বলতেন এবং যখন রুকূ‘ হতে মাথা উঠাতেন তখনও একইভাবে দু’হাত উঠাতেন এবং سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ বলতেন। কিন্তু সিজদার সময় এমন করতেন না। (৭৩৬, ৭৩৭,৭৩৯ মুসলিম ৪/৯, হাঃ ৩৯০, আহমাদ ৪৫৪০)

ہم سے عبداللہ بن مسلمہ قعنبی نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے امام مالک سے، انہوں نے ابن شہاب زہری سے، انہوں نے سالم بن عبداللہ سے، انہوں نے اپنے باپ (عبداللہ بن عمر رضی اللہ عنہما) سے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نماز شروع کرتے وقت اپنے دونوں ہاتھوں کو کندھوں تک اٹھاتے، اسی طرح جب رکوع کے لیے «الله اكبر» کہتے اور جب اپنا سر رکوع سے اٹھاتے تو دونوں ہاتھ بھی اٹھاتے ( رفع یدین کرتے ) اور رکوع سے سر مبارک اٹھاتے ہوئے «سمع الله لمن حمده،‏‏‏‏ ‏‏‏‏ ربنا ولك الحمد» کہتے تھے۔ سجدہ میں جاتے وقت رفع یدین نہیں کرتے تھے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdullah bin Maslamah] dari [Malik] dari [Ibnu Syihab] dari [Salim bin 'Abdullah] dari [Bapaknya], bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mengangkat tangannya sejajar dengan pundaknya ketika memulai shalat, ketika takbir untuk rukuk dan ketika bangkit dari rukuk dengan mengucapkan: 'SAMI'ALLAHU LIMAN HAMIDAH RABBANAA WA LAKAL HAMDU (Semoga Allah mendengar orang yang memuji-Nya. Ya Rabb kami, milik Engkaulah segala pujian) '. Beliau tidak melakukan seperti itu ketika akan sujud

Salim bin Abdullah babası (İbni Ömer r.a.) nın şöyle dediğini nakletmiştir: "Resûlullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem namaz'a başladığı zaman ellerini omuzları hizasında kaldırırdı. Rükû için tekbir getirdiğinde ve başını rükûdan kaldırıp doğrulunca aynı şekilde ellerini kaldırırdı ve (Semi'allahu limen hamideh, Rabbena ve lekel hamd) derdi. Fakat secdelerde ellerini kaldırmazdı. Tekrar: 736, 738 ve

Sahih al-Bukhari 735, Book 10, Call to Prayers (Adhaan), Hadith 129. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to raise his hands to be parallel with or in alignment with the shoulder, which is the part where the shoulder and upper arm bones are connected, in three positions during the prayer. First position: When commencing the prayer and making Takbīrat al-Ihrām (Opening Takbīr). Second: When making Takbīr for Rukū‘. Third: When raising his head from Rukū‘ and saying: Sami‘allāhu liman hamidah, rabbana wa laka al-hamd" (Allah hears whoever praises Him, O our Lord, praise be to You). He would not raise his hands upon making Sujūd or rising therefrom.

What it teaches

  • One of the rationales behind raising the hands in prayer is that it is an adornment for the prayer and glorification of Allah Almighty.
  • It was proven from the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) that he raised his hands in a fourth position, as reported in the version of Abu Humayd as-Sā‘idi by Abu Dāwūd and others, upon rising from the first Tashahhud in the three-Rak‘ah and four-Rak‘ah prayers.
  • It was also authentically reported from the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to raise his hands in alignment with his ears without touching them, as reported in the version of Mālik ibn al-Huwayrith in the Two Sahīh Collections: "When making Takbīr, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would raise his hands until they were in line with his ears."
  • Coupling Tasmī‘ (saying: Allah hears whoever praises Him) with Tahmīd (saying: O our Lord, praise be to You) is exclusive for the Imam and the one praying alone. However, the one praying behind the Imam should only say: "Rabbana wa laka al-hamd" (O our Lord, praise be to You).
  • Four wordings were authentically reported from the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the way of saying: "Rabbana wa laka al-hamd" (O our Lord, praise be to You) after Rukū‘ and this is one of them. It is preferable that one follows these wordings and uses them alternately.
