حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَنْبَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الشِّتَاءِ فَرَأَيْتُ أَصْحَابَهُ يَرْفَعُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فِي ثِيَابِهِمْ فِي الصَّلاَةِ ‏.‏

Summary of Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith 729

This hadith about raising hands in winter prayer is short and clear. Wa'il ibn Hujr says he came to the Prophet during winter and saw his companions raising their hands in their clothes during prayer. The report does not give a full description of every prayer movement. It only tells us what was seen in cold weather: the companions were praying while covered, and their hand raising happened within their clothing. This is useful for searches about raising hands under clothes in salah, winter prayer hadith, and companions raising hands in prayer. The explanation should not add more than the report itself gives.

What we learn from this hadith

  • The companions prayed while wearing clothing suited to winter.
  • Wa'il saw them raising their hands inside their clothes.
  • The report records a practical scene from prayer in cold weather.
