15 – ʿĀṣim narrated from his father, from Wāʾil ibn Ḥujr (may Allah be pleased with him): “The Prophet ﷺ used to raise his hands so that they were level with the lobes of his ears.”

Another transmission says: “He would raise his hands until they lined up with the lobes of his ears.”

Yet another wording, from Wāʾil himself, relates that he saw the Prophet “raising his hands in the prayer until they were even with the lobes of his ears.”
