Proof for Raising the Hands to the Ears when Calling out the Takbeer Tahreema

Q: Salaah-566: The Hanafis raise their hands to their ears when calling out the Takbeer Tahreema. Which Hadith substantiates this because the Ghayr Muqallideen say that there is no such Hadith.

Answer: Hadhrat Maalik bin Huwayrith RADI. reports that when Rasulullaah SAW. called out the Takbeer Tahreema, he would raise both his hands level with his ears.

Hadhrat Waa'il bin Hujr RADI. reports that he looked at Rasulullaah SAW. when he stood up for salaah and raised his hands until they were level with his shoulders and his thumbs were level with his earlobes. Rasulullaah SAW. then called out the Takbeer Tahreema.z For details, refer to Zujaajatul. Masaabeeh (Vol.1 Pg.227). And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
