Raising the hands in supplication after the voluntary prayer

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the hadith reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: Is it taken from his statement, "and you lower your hands and you say, O Allah," that it is prescribed to raise the hands and make supplication after the voluntary prayer consistently?

Answer:
No, "you lower your hands" means in the supplication; that is, raising the hands is among the etiquettes of supplication and among the causes of its being answered, and this is not tied to the obligatory prayer.
