Making Requests to Allah

SUMMARY: When making requests to Allah, one should do so with the palms of their hands facing upwards.

Narrated Malik ibn Yasar as-Sakuni, al-Awfi: The Prophet said: When you make requests to Allah, do so with the palms of your hands, and not backs, upwards. Abu Dawud said: The narrator Sulaiman b. 'Abd al-Hamid said: according to us Malik b. Yasar was a Companion of the Prophet .
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْبَهْرَانِيُّ، قَالَ قَرَأْتُهُ فِي أَصْلِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَيَّاشٍ - حَدَّثَنِي ضَمْضَمٌ عَنْ شُرَيْحٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ظَبْيَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا بَحْرِيَّةَ السَّكُونِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ السَّكُونِيِّ ثُمَّ الْعَوْفِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا سَأَلْتُمُ اللَّهَ فَاسْأَلُوهُ بِبُطُونِ أَكُفِّكُمْ وَلاَ تَسْأَلُوهُ بِظُهُورِهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ لَهُ عِنْدَنَا صُحْبَةٌ يَعْنِي مَالِكَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ
