Dear Haneef You can find refrences. about (RAFULADAIN )

 As Salam Alaykum Brother, As there are many times mentioned in Quran 'Aaati ullaha Wa Rasool' now there are numerous hadith that proves Rafayedin done by Sahaba and it was a continous Amal…
Now the Point if you see the number of Hadith of DOING RAFAYEDIN (400 from Total Hadtih collection books ) is lot more greater than NOT DOING rafaydein (11 from Total Hadith Collection Books )....Simple More Hadiths MORE WITNESSES.....
Imam Bukhari self wrote a book on chapter Rafayedin he quoted ' Book Name : Juz Rafa-yadein'
And Ibn Quezimah Rh (Muhaddith of Haidth) Quoted one hadith from 'Abu Hameed Saadi RZ'in a group of ten sahaba said prophet Muhammed (SWOS) done Rafayedin while Praying.
Ibn Quezimah Rh (Muhaddith of Haidth) Quoted from Muhammed bin Yahiya from'Abu Hameed Saadi RZ' after hearing hadith & not performed Rafayedin then his Salah is waste (Sahi Ibn Quezema jild- 1 hadith No : 298 & 588)
The Qual of ABU HANIFA Rh is Sahi Haidht hi mera Madhab Hai "When a hadeeth contrary to the Madhhab is found to be saheeh, one should act on the hadeeth, and make that his madhhab. Acting on the hadeeth will not invalidate the follower's being a Hanafi, for it is authentically reported that Abu Haneefah said, 'When a hadeeth is found to be saheeh, then that is my madhhab', and this has been related by Imaam Ibn 'Abdul Barr from Abu Haneefah and from other imaams." "( Ibn 'Aabideen in al-Haashiyah (1/63)
There is a small misconception regarding that it was not a continous amal of Rasool & Sahaba the Proof is :
Wael bin Hajr RZ ne Muhammed (SWOS) ko Rafayedin karte dekha (Sahi Muslim, Baap Salat Ref Hadith : 401)
Wael bin Hajr RZ Nabi ke paas 9 & 10 Hijri & aur 11 Hijri mein Nabi Muhammed (SWOS) ne wafat Payee Lihaza unlogo ki liyae yeh dalil hai jo kehte hai ki yeh amal SIRF KUCH ARSAE TAK JAARI THA) (namaz e Nabwi page no : 134 Authour : Dr Shafiq Ur Rehman)

From the above all discussion & Authentic Hadith references we came to know that RAFAYEDIN is it a regular act of Rasool (SWOS) & Sahaba and one should give MORE preference to do the same……

He pointed with his hands (i.e. raised his hands opposite to the shoulders) when he stood up, when he bowed and when he prostrated, and when he got up after prostration, he pointed with his hands (i.e. raised his hands). The I went to Ibn Abbas and said (to him) I saw Ibn az-Zubayr praying that I never saw anyone praying. I then told him about the pointing with his hands (raising his hands).

Then Wuhayb ibn Khalid said to him: You are doing a thing that I did not see anyone do. Ibn Tawus then replied: I saw my father doing it, and my father said: I saw Ibn Abbas doing it.
