The questioner : Another question, regarding a hadith, meaning its degree of authenticity: from Wa'il ibn Hujr: Muwatta Malik 9:95 It was narrated by Ahmad and Abu Dawud?
The Shaykh : The hadith is valid and it has many corroborating narrations. Raising the hands and its connection to the takbir has three characteristics. The first of them, or one of them, is: what came in this hadith, raising with the takbir. The second is: raising before the takbir. And the third is: raising after the takbir. All of that is permissible.
The questioner : Three situations.
The Shaykh: Yes.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abbad ibn Tamim from his paternal uncle that he saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, lying down in the mosque with one foot on top of the other.
