Raising the Hands in Supplication After the Obligatory Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: From the questioner M. M. - Riyadh, did it come from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to raise the hands in supplication after the obligatory prayer specifically, where some people told me: that he did not raise his hands when making supplication after the obligatory prayer?
A: It is not authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to raise his hands after the obligatory prayer, and it is not authentic from his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) either, as far as we know. And what some people do of raising their hands after the obligatory prayer is a religious innovation with no basis, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 1718b It was narrated by Muslim in his Sahih.
And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1718a Agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
A: It is not authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to raise his hands after the obligatory prayer, and it is not authentic from his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) either, as far as we know. And what some people do of raising their hands after the obligatory prayer is a religious innovation with no basis, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
He who did any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected.
من عمل عملا ليس عليه أمرنا فهو ردAnd he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who innovates things in our affairs for which there is no valid (reason) (commits sin) and these are to be rejected.
من أحدث في أمرنا هذا ما ليس منه فهو رد
