The Ruling on Raising the Hands!​

​

Nafi, may Allah have mercy on him, states:​

[كان ابن عمر إذا رأى رجلا لا يرفع يديه حصبه وأمره أن يرفع]

When Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, saw a person not raising his hands, he would throw pebbles at him and command him to raise his hands.
