Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 3353 — Raising the hands in supplication

وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ : حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ هُوَ ابْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ ، ثَنَا خَالِدٌ هُوَ الْحَذَّاءُ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُحَيْرِيزٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا سَأَلْتُمُ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَاسْأَلُوهُ بِبُطُونِ أَكُفِّكُمْ ، وَلَا تَسْأَلُوهُ بِظُهُورِهَا " .
قَالَ خَالِدٌ : قُلْتُ لِأَبِي قِلَابَةَ : مَا مَعْنَى هَذَا ؟ فَرَفَعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، وَقَالَ : هَكَذَا التَّكْبِيرُ وَالتَّهْلِيلُ .
It is narrated from Abd al-Rahman bin Muhayriz (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you ask of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, then ask with the inside of your palms, and do not ask with the backs of your hands."
Khalid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked Abu Qilabah (may Allah have mercy on him) what it means. He raised both his hands to show it and said: This is how takbir and tahlil (that is, declaring Allah's greatness and oneness) are done.
Clarification: In the Arabic text, "may Allah be pleased with him" is written after the name of Abd al-Rahman bin Muhayriz; however, according to the books of narrator biographies he is a Tabi'i (Successor), so "may Allah have mercy on him" has been used for him in the Urdu translation.
