His statement: (So he pointed with the backs of his hands toward the sky) — does this indicate exaggeration in the raising?

The questioner : Why do we not say that Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), when he said, “and he pointed with his hands toward the sky,” was doing so because he was close to the event and saw it with his own eyes, and then he knew the state of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), knowing that he intended the gesture, that he said it, and that it was an exaggeration? Add to that the fact that he says, “and he pointed with his hands toward the sky”?

The Shaykh : Pointing with the palm does not indicate that he turned his palm over; it is not explicit.
