Is it established that the hands are raised when descending into prostration?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A questioner says: The Hafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in his book Fath al-Bari that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hands and then prostrated, and he said that al-Nasa'i narrated it with a sound chain.

The Shaykh:
What is it?

The questioner:
He says: The Hafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in Fath al-Bari that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hands and then prostrated.

The Shaykh:
Yes, this has been reported, but the correct and established evidence is that he does not raise his hands when descending into prostration. These are the established proofs. They did not even say that he does not raise his hands when prostrating between the two prostrations; rather, this has not been established. This has not been established, although this has been reported, and this is a matter of consideration. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: The one whose nose does not touch the ground.

The Shaykh:
Some people cited as evidence a hadith in which it is stated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to raise his hands at every lowering and raising. The correct view is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say the takbir at every lowering and raising. As for the claim that he raised his hands at every lowering and raising, this is an error in the narration. Yes.
