Sunan Ibn Majah

"Abu Humaid, Abu Usaid As-Sadi, Sahl bin Sad, and Muhammad bin Maslamah came together and spoke about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (saw). Abu Humaid said: 'I am the most knowledgeable of you about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (saw). The Messenger of Allah (saw) stood up and said Allahu Akbar, and raised his hands, then he raised them when he said Allahu Akbar for Ruku, then he stood up and raised his hands, and stood straight until every bone had returned to its place.'" (Sahih)

"When the Prophet (saw) stood up to offer a prescribed prayer, he said Allahu Akbar and raised his hands until they were parallel to his shoulders. When he wanted to bow he did likewise; when he raised his head from bowing he did likewise; and when he stood up after the two prostrations he did likewise."* (Hasan) *Sindi said: "It is as if they abandoned that because of it contradicting the popular narrations." Azimabadi (Awnul-Mabud) said: "The meaning of 'the two prostrations' is two Rakahs without a doubt, as is reported in the following narrations. This is what was said by the scholars among the Muhadithin and the Fuqaha', except for Khattabi."
