256: Abu 'Eesaa (ie at-Tirmidhee) said, ....az-Zuhree related to us the likes of the hadeeth of ibnUmar.He said, and the ahaadeeth like this are related from Umar, Ali, Wa'il bin Hujr, Maalik binHuwairith, Anas, Abu Hurayra, Abu Haamid, Abu Aseed, Sahl bin Sa'd, Muhammad binMuslima, Abu Qataadah, Abu Musa al-Asharee, Jaabir and Umair al-Laithee.Abu 'Eesaa said, the hadeeth of ibn Umar is Hasan Saheeh. And some of the people of Knowledge from the Companions of the Prophet held this view, from amongst them: ibn Umar,Jaabir bin Abdullaah, Abu Hurayra, Anas, ibn Abbaas, Abdullaah bin Zubair and others. Andfrom the Taabi'een: Hasan al-Basri, 'Ataa, Tawoos, Mujaahid, Naafi', Saalim bin Abdullaah,Sa'eed bin Jubair and others.And of this opinion were Abdullaah bin Mubaarak, ash-Shaafi'ee, Ahmad and Ishaaq.And Abdullaah bin Mubaarak said, 'the hadeeth of the one who raises his hands is established, 'and he mentioned the hadeeth of Saalim from his father (i.e. no.255), 'and the hadeeth of ibnMas'ud ) is not established, "that the Prophet did not raise his hands except the first time"'........From 'Alqama who said, 'ibn Mas'ud said, "shall I not pray with you the prayer of theMessenger of Allaah " so he prayed and he did not raise his hands except the first time.'
 
He (i.e Tirmidhee) said, and the hadeeth like this are related from al-Baraa bin Aazib.Abu 'Eesaa said, the Hadeeth of ibn Mas'ud is a Hasan hadeeth. And of this opinion were morethan one of the People of Knowledge from the Companions of the Prophet and the Taabi'een.And it is the opinion of Sufyaan and the People of Kufah.[END OF QUOTE FROM JAAMI AT_TIRMIDHEE]
COMMENTARY 
His saying, ' raise his hands up to his shoulders when he started the prayer, and when he wentinto ruku' and when he raised his head from ruku''This is a clear evidence that raising of the hands in these places is a sunnah. And this is the truthand that which is correct.And Bukhaaree transmits in his {saheeh}, after this hadeeth of ibn Umar, from his shaikh Ali binal-Madanee who said, 'it is a duty upon the muslims that they raise their hands at the time of ruku' and rising from it, due to this hadeeth of ibn Umar.' And this is in the narration of ibnAsaakir. And Imaam Bukhaaree mentioned it in his {juz rafa' al-yadain} and expounded on it,and he was the most knowledgable person of his time.'AND HE DID NOT DO THAT BETWEEN THE TWO SAJDAS'And in a narration of Bukhaaree, 'and he did not do that when he made sajda, nor when he raisedhis head from sajda.''AND THE AHAADEETH LIKE THIS ARE RELATED FROM.....'[sources of narration omitted]as-Suyuti said in {al-Azhaar al-Mutanaathira fee al-Akhbaar al-Mutawaatira}, 'that the hadeethof raising (hands at ruku) is mutawaatir from the Prophet '...... And al-Haafidh (ibn Hajr) said in {al-Fath} and Bukhaaree mentioned that raising of thehands at ruku' and at rising from ruku' is related from 17 of the sahaabah.And al-Haakim and Abu al-Qaasim ibn Mandah mention that from amongst the ones that narrateit are the ten promised paradise. And our shaikh Abu al-Fadl al-Haafidh mentioned that hefollowed up the narrations from the sahaabah and they reached 50 (sahaabah).ash-Shawkaanee said in {an-Nail},'that al-Bayhaqi list in his {sunan} and {khilaafiyaah} the names of those that the relate theraising of hands (at ruku' reaching) the likes of 30 sahaabah. And he said, "I heard al-Haakim
 
say, 'the ten promised paradise related this sunnah and others from the greatest of the Sahaabah.'and it is as he said"'And al-Haakim and al-Bayhaqi also said, 'And a narration of a sunnah is not known upon whichthe ten and those after them from the greatest of the Companions agreed to except this one'His saying, 'AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE OF KNOWLEDGE FROM THE COMPANIONSOF THE PROPHET HELD THIS VIEW..'al-Haafidh (ibn Hajr) said in {al-Fath}, 'Muhammad bin Nasr al-Marwazee said, "the scholars of the lands agree to the legislation of this (sunnah) except the people of Kufah. And al-Bukhaareeauthored a seperate book on this issue, and he relates in it from al-Hasan and Humaid bin Halaal,"that the sahaabah used to do that." And Bukhaaree said, "and al-Hasan did not exclude anyone"'[end]I say: al-Bukhaaree said in {juz rafa' al-yadain}, 'al-Hasan and Humaid bin Halaal said, "theCompanions of the Messenger of Allaah used to raise their hands" and they did not exclude anyone of the Companions of the the Prophet . And it is not established with the people of knowledge from any of the Companions that he did not raise his hands. And it is also relatedfrom a number of the Companions of the Prophet what we have described, and likewise from anumber of scholars of Mecca, Hijaaz, Iraaq, Shaam, Basra, Yemen, and a number fromKhurasaan. From amongst them: Sa'eed bin Jubair, 'Ataa bin Abee Rabaah, Mujaahid, al-Qaasimbin Muhammad, Saalim bin Abdullaah bin Umar bin al-Khattaab, Umar bin Abdul Aziz,Nu'maan bin Abee Ayaash, al-Hasan, ibn Seereen, Tawoos, Makhool, Abdullaah bin Deenaar,Naafi' the servant of Umar, al-Hasan bin Muslim, Qais bin Sa'd and many more. And it is relatedfrom Umm ad-Dardaa that she used to raise her hands.'And Abdullaah bin Mubaarak used to raise his hands (at ruku') and likewise the generality of hiscompanions. From amongst them, Alee bin al-Husain, Abd bin Umar, Yahya bin Yahya, theMuhadditheen of the People of Bukhaar from amongst them: Eesaa bin Musaa, and Ka'b binSa'eed, Muhammad bin Silaam, Abdullaah bin Muhammad, al-Musnadee, and many morebeyond enumeration.There is no difference upon what we have described amongst the people of Knowledge. AndAbdullaah bin Zubair, Ali bin Abdullaah, Yahya bin Ma'een, Ahmad bin Hanbal, Ishaaq binIbraheem affirmed these hadeeth and considered them to be the truth. And these are the Peopleof Knowledge from the People of their times.' [End of quote]His saying, 'AND OF THIS OPINION WERE ABDULLAAH BIN AL-MUBAARAK, ANDASH-SHAAFI'EE AND AHMAD AND ISHAAQ'And it is the opinion of Maalik. And it is the last of two sayings from him and the mostauthentic. al-Haafidh said on {al-fath}, 'ibn Abdul Barr (Maaliki) said, "noboby relates theleaving of raising the hands from Maalik except ibn al-Qaasim. And that which we take is theraising of the hands as in the hadeeth of ibn Umar. And that is what Wahb and others narratefrom Maalik. And at-Tirmidhee does not relate from Maalik other than (the saying of ibn al-
