حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ
أَلاَ أُصَلِّي بِكُمْ صَلاَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ فَصَلَّى، فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ يَدَيْهِ إِلاَّ فِي أَوَّلِ مَرَّةٍ۔

ʿAbdullāh b. Masʿūd said: "Shall I not demonstrate the Ṣalāh of Messenger ﷺ of Allah to you?" Then he offered the Ṣalāh and he did not raise his hands except while saying the first takbīr."
Notes
And in the narration from al-Barāʾ b ʿAzib, Abu ʿĪsá said that the hadith of Ibn Masʿūd is a Ḥasan, and with it, several knowledgeable individuals among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ and the followers concur. This is the statement of Sufyān al-Thawrī and the people of Kūfah.
قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ وَبِهِ يَقُولُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَالتَّابِعِينَ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَأَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ
قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ. وَبِهِ يَقُولُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَالتَّابِعِينَ. وَهُوَ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَأَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ.
machine translationAbū ʿĪsā said: The hadith of Ibn Masʿūd is a good (ḥasan) hadith. More than one of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and the Followers hold this view. It is also the view of Sufyān al-Thawrī and the people of Kūfah.

What scholars said about it
In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.
- Shafiʿī
لم يثبت
machine translationIt is not established (lam yathbut).
in جامع الترمذي, p. 262 - al-Tirmidhi
حديث حسن
machine translationA good (ḥasan) hadith.
in جامع الترمذي, p. 262 - Ibn al-Mubārak
حديث وكيع لا يصح والذي عندي أنه صحيح وإنما النكر فيه على وكيع زيادة ثم لا يعود وقالوا إنه كان يقولها من قبل نفسه وتارة لم يقلها وتارة أتبعها
machine translationThe hadith of Wakīʿ is not sound (ṣaḥīḥ), whereas in my view it is sound; what is objectionable (munkar) in it, attributed to Wakīʿ, is the addition "then he did not repeat it." They said that he used to say it of his own accord; at times he did not say it, and at times he added it.
in جامع الترمذي, p. 262 - Dāraquṭnī
إنه حديث صحيح إلا هذه اللفظة يقصد لفظة لم يعد
machine translationIt is a sound (ṣaḥīḥ) hadith except for this phrase, meaning the phrase "he did not repeat."

أضعف شيء يعول عليه لأن له عللا تبطله
machine translationIt is the weakest thing that can be relied upon, because it has defects (ʿilal) that invalidate it.

فثبت بهذا كله أن حديث ابن مسعود ليس بصحيح ولا بحسن بل هو ضعيف لا يقوم بمثله حجة
machine translationSo all of this establishes that the hadith of Ibn Masʿūd is neither sound (ṣaḥīḥ) nor good (ḥasan), but rather weak (ḍaʿīf); a proof cannot be established by the like of it.

machine translationHe declared it sound (ṣaḥḥaḥahu).

ليس هو بصحيح على هذا اللفظ

هذا خطأ يقال وهم فيه الثوري فقد رواه جماعة عن عاصم وقالوا كلهم إن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم افتتح فرفع يديه ثم ركع فطبق وجعلهما بين ركبتيه ولم يقل أحد ما روى الثوري
machine translationThis is an error. It is said that al-Thawrī made a mistake in it, for a group narrated it from ʿĀṣim, and all of them said that the Prophet ﷺ began the prayer and raised his hands, then bowed, clasped his hands together and placed them between his knees. No one said what al-Thawrī narrated.
