Wakī’ narrated:
“I prayed in the mosque of Kūfa, and there was Abū Hanīfah standing and praying, and next to him was Ibn al-Mubārak praying. Abdullāh (Ibn al-Mubārak) would raise his hands whenever he bowed and whenever he rose from bowing, while Abū Hanīfah would not raise his hands. After they finished the prayer, Abū Hanīfah said to Abdullāh:
‘O Abū Abdul-Rahmān, I saw you raising your hands frequently. Did you intend to fly?’
Abdullāh replied:
‘O Abū Hanīfah, I saw you raising your hands when you started the prayer [i.e. opening takbīr]. Did you intend to fly?’
Wakī’ said: “I have never seen a response quicker or sharper than Abdullāh’s reply to Abū Hanīfah.
