عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا دَعَا جَعَلَ ظَاهِرَ كَفَّيْهِ مِمَّا يَلِي وَجْهَهُ وَبَاطِنَهُمَا مِمَّا يَلِي الْأَرْضَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would supplicate, the backs of his hands would be towards his face and the inner part of his palms would be towards the ground.

Benefits: … Hazrat Malik bin Yasar Sakuni Aufi radi Allahu anhu narrates that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: ((When you ask Allah, then ask Him with the palms of your hands (facing upwards), and do not ask Him with their backs (facing upwards).)) … When you (raise your hands and) ask Allah Almighty, then ask with the palms of your hands upright, not with the backs of your hands.
