Sunan Abi Da'ud · Hadith 742

حدثنا القعنبي، عن مالك، عن نافع، أن عبد الله بن عمر، كان إذا ابتدأ الصلاة يرفع يديه حذو منكبيه وإذا رفع رأسه من الركوع رفعهما دون ذلك ‏.‏ قال أبو داود لم يذكر رفعهما دون ذلك ‏.‏ أحد غير مالك فيما أعلم ‏.‏

Nafi’ said: When ‘Abd Allah b. ‘Umar began his prayer, he raised his hands opposite to his shoulders; and when he raised his head after bowing, he raised them lower than that.Abu Dawud said: So as far as I know, no one narrated the words “he raised them lower that that” except Malik.
