حَدِیث السَّائِبِ بنِ خَلَّاد اَبِی سَهلَةَ
Hadith of al-Sa'ib ibn Khallad Abu Sahla
Musnad Ahmad 16564 — Hadith of al-Sa'ib ibn Khallad Abu Sahla
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، عَنْ حَبَّانَ بْنِ وَاسِعٍ ، عَنْ خَلَّادِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا سَأَلَ جَعَلَ بَاطِنَ كَفَّيْهِ ، إِلَيْهِ وَإِذَا اسْتَعَاذَ جَعَلَ ظَاهِرَهُمَا إِلَيْهِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Khallad bin Sa’ib (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would supplicate, he would turn the inner part of his palms towards his face, and when he would seek refuge from something, he would turn the backs of his palms towards his face.
