A man who prays and then stands to supplicate

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Do not stand supplicating the way the Jews do in their synagogues.

Abu Abd al-Rahman saw a man supplicating while standing after finishing his prayer, and he reproached him harshly.

Abd al-Rahman bin Yazid considered it disliked (makruh).

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Two things are innovations (bid'ah): that a man, after finishing his prayer, stands facing the qiblah supplicating; and that, when rising from the second prostration, he considers it necessary to place his buttocks on the ground.

Mujahid said: Standing after the prayer is disliked (makruh), and in it there is a resemblance to the Jews.

Shu'bah said: I asked Mughirah: "Did Ibrahim consider it disliked to face the qiblah and raise the hands after finishing the prayer?" He said: "Yes."

Al-Dahhak said: News reached Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that some people remembered Allah while standing. He came to them and said: "What is this strange practice?" They said: "We have heard this command of Allah Almighty: 'Remember Allah standing, sitting and lying on your sides.' [Al-Nisa: 103]" Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "This command is for when a man is unable to pray standing; then he prays sitting."

Jamil bin Zayd said: I saw Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) enter the House of Allah and pray two rak'ahs. Then he moved and prayed two rak'ahs near the corner. Then I left him, and he was standing, supplicating and saying the takbir.

Ash'ath said: Al-Hasan used to supplicate in prayer while standing, raising his gaze towards the sky.
