(Imām) Al-Awzā’ī and (Imām) Al-Thawri debated in Al-Khaif Mosque on the issue of raising the hands when bowing and rising from bowing, so Al-Awzā’ī used as evidence what he narrated on the authority of Al-Zuhrī, on the authority of Sālim, on the authority of his father, that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) would raise his hands when bowing and rising from bowing.
And Al-Thawrī argued for not raising the hands with the hadīth of Yazīd ibn Abī Ziyād, so Al-Awzā’ī got angry and said: ‘Does one contend with the hadith of Al-Zuhrī using the hadith of Yazīd ibn Abī Ziyād; who is da’īf (a weak individual)?!’
Al-Thawrī’s face turned red, and Al-Awzā’ī said: ‘Perhaps you disliked what I said?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘So let us go to the corner (i.e. Ka’bah) and invoke the curse as to which of us is upon the truth.’ Al-Thawrī then remained silent.
(Bidāyah al-Nihāyah of Ibn Kathīr 13/444)
