حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلْمُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ نَبْهَانَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يَدْعُو هَكَذَا بِبَاطِنِ كَفَّيْهِ وَظَاهِرِهِمَا " .
Narrated Anas ibn Malik: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ supplicating Allah in this manner with the palms of his hands and also with their backs upwards.
